What is View Synthesis In the field of computer graphics, view synthesis, also known as novel view synthesis, is a task that involves the generation of images of a particular topic or scene from a particular point of view. This method is utilized in situations where the only information that is available is photographs taken from various points of view. How you will benefit (I) Insights, and validations about the following topics: Chapter 1: View synthesis Chapter 2: Image registration Chapter 3: Image-based modeling and rendering Chapter 4: Active vision Chapter 5: 3D reconstruction Chapter 6: Omnidirectional (360-degree) camera Chapter 7: 2D to 3D conversion Chapter 8: DeepDream Chapter 9: Visual Sensor Network Chapter 10: Video super-resolution (II) Answering the public top questions about view synthesis. (III) Real world examples for the usage of view synthesis in many fields. Who this book is for Professionals, undergraduate and graduate students, enthusiasts, hobbyists, and those who want to go beyond basic knowledge or information for any kind of View Synthesis.

Image-based rendering, as an area of overlap between computer graphics and computer vision, uses computer vision techniques to aid in sythesizing new views of scenes. Image-based rendering methods are having a substantial impact on the field of computer graphics, and also play an important role in the related field of multimedia systems, for applications such as teleconferencing, remote instruction and surgery, virtual reality and entertainment. The book develops a novel way of formalizing the view synthesis problem under the full perspective model, yielding a clean, linear warping equation. It shows new techniques for dealing with visibility issues such as partial occlusion and "holes". Furthermore, the author thoroughly re-evaluates the requirements that view synthesis places on stereo algorithms and introduces two novel stereo algorithms specifically tailored to the application of view synthesis.

A novel and timely primer to the 3DTV system chain from capture to display This book examines all aspects of the 3DTV chain, from capture to display. It helps the reader learn about the key issues for 3DTV technology. It also provides with a systems level appreciation of 3DTV systems, and an understanding of the fundamental principles behind each part of the chain. At the end of each chapter, the author provides resources where readers can learn more about the technology covered (e.g. more focused text books, key journal papers, and key standards contributions). Provides a fundamental and systematic introduction and description of 3DTV key techniques, which build up the whole 3DTV system from capture to consumer viewing at the home. Addresses the quick moving field of 3D displays which is attracting increasing interest from industry and academia. Concepts in the book will be illustrated using diagrams and example images of processed 3D content. The 3D content will be presented as 2D images in the book. Authors to host website providing pointers to more information on the web, freely available tools which would enable readers to experiment with coding video, simulate its transmission over networks, play it back in 3D, and measure the quality and links to important news and developments in the field.
