Consumer Video 3ed

Why is glasses-based 3D one of the biggest all time failures in the history of consumer electronics? How does stereoscopic 3D get to consumers? What is coming next in 3D? Where will the content come from and how will it be delivered? Most people have seen at least one modern 3D movie such as Avatar. But 3D is pushing into our lives now in the form of 3DTVs, mobile phones, tablets and even 3D videos and photos on the Web. When we leave the theater we move into an uncontrolled environment where people multi-task...an environment where 3D glasses simply don't work. This book introduces stereoscopic 3D to early-adopters, business people, content producers, broadcasters and all others curious about the history and future of 3D and then confronts some of the most difficult issues facing the 3D industry today. The trade-off and the solution Current 3DTV display technology presents a classic trade-off between fidelity and convenience. The current glasses-based systems present high-fidelity and the desired glasses-free technologies afford convenience. The early 3DTV proponents, have bet on 2 channel, glasses-based stereoscopic TVs. In a world where we accept "low-quality" MP3 audio (Apple's iTunes, iPod, and iPhone) and "low-quality" video conferencing (Skype), one can make a strong case that glasses-free (autostereoscopic) 3D display systems are good enough, that is, convenient. Most consumer electronics companies have not considered the overall usability or convenience aspects of the 3D display system, but only the video quality aspects. This is a mistake in an environment of disruptive innovation. In The Future of 3D Media, we examine the conditions which create a compelling new opportunity to benefit from bringing stereoscopic 3D to consumers.

This book shows readers how to develop energy-efficient algorithms and hardware architectures to enable high-definition 3D video coding on resource-constrained embedded devices. Users of the Multiview Video Coding (MVC) standard face the challenge of exploiting its 3D video-specific coding tools for increasing compression efficiency at the cost of increasing computational complexity and, consequently, the energy consumption. This book enables readers to reduce the multiview video coding energy consumption through jointly considering the algorithmic and architectural levels. Coverage includes an introduction to 3D videos and an extensive discussion of the current state-of-the-art of 3D video coding, as well as energy-efficient algorithms for 3D video coding and energy-efficient hardware architecture for 3D video coding.

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.
