| Keyword | multiview video, multiview video coding, depth estimation |
| Abstract | We highlight some of the challenges facing wide adoption of multiview video technologies, by focusing on design issues involving displays, depth data and tools for content delivery. Our goal is to show that uncertainty about what choices will be made in each of these areas have a significant impact on the design of coding tools. |

| Abstract | 3D video capturing acquires the visual information in 3D manner, which possesses the first step of the entire 3DTV system chain before 3D coding, transmission and visualization. As the cost of sensors reduces recently, many systems utilize multiple cameras to acquire visual information, which is called multiview capturing. We start with reviewing these multiview systems built in the past decades. Then, a new concept of vision field capturing is introduced. Finally, some new techniques using TOF(time-of-flight) camera and 3D scanner will also be presented. |

| Abstract | 3D visual information can be presented to viewers using stereo displays. For these displays, the two video sequences of a stereo pair are jointly coded using MVC. The extension of coding standards for use with the existing MPEG-2 or AVC infrastructure is currently developed. Auto stereoscopic displays enabling motion parallax will be supported by the future 3DV standard. Several video streams and a depth map will enable the display to render the correct views of the scene. |

| Abstract | Integral photography is a photographic technique which is able to reconstruct three-dimensional (3D) images having full-parallax, and the reconstructed 3D images can be seen without wearing special glasses. We have been researching into a 3D television system based on integral photography. This paper describes our system in which an ultra-high-definition imaging system called Super Hi-Vision is applied to integral photography. |

| Abstract | The proper characteristics of stereoscopic and multi-view displays are described in the context of human visual perception at first. Next, the development of three-dimensional displays, matched to the function of human visual field, is described accounting for these points. These three-dimensional displays were developed based on the principle of light field reproduction. From these issues, the processing technology for large capacity image information is important for the development of the three-dimensional image systems in the future. |
