DASH(Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP) 기반의 다시점(Multi-view) 비디오 서비스는 여러 대의 카메라를 통해 획득한 다수의 영상 중에서 사용자가 선택한 영상이나 객체로 시점을 전환한다. 그러나 기존 DASH 기반의 다시점 비디오 서비스는 시점전환 이벤트가 발생하면 버퍼링 된 이전 비디오 영상의 모든 세그먼트를 소비한 후 새로운 비디오 영상을 재생하기 때문에 시점전환 시간이 오래 걸리는 문제가 있다. 본 논문에서는 DASH 기반의 다시점 비디오 서비스에서 시점전환 지연 최소화를 위한 비디오 전송 기법을 제안한다. 제안하는 기법은 시점전환 지연을 최소화하기 위해 GoP(Group of Pictures) 사이즈 조절을 통해 전환용 영상을 추가로 구성하고 대역폭 예측과 재생 버퍼 점유율을 기반으로 클라이언트 버퍼를 제어한다. 실험 결과를 통해 제안하는 기법이 시점전환 지연을 감소시키는 것을 확인하였다.

Viewpoint-dependent feature-based modelling in computer-aided design is developed for the purposes of supporting engineering design representation and automation. The approach of this paper uses a combination of a multi-level modelling approach. This has two stages of mapping between models, and the multi-level model approach is implemented in three-level architecture. Top of this level is a feature-based description for each viewpoint, comprising a combination of form features and other features such as loads and constraints for analysis. The middle level is an executable representation of the feature model. The bottom of this multi-level modelling is a evaluation of a feature-based CAD model obtained by executable feature representations defined in the middle level. The mappings involved in the system comprise firstly, mapping between the top level feature representations associated with different viewpoints, for example for the geometric simplification and addition of boundary conditions associated with moving from a design model to an analysis model, and secondly mapping between the top level and the middle level representations in which the feature model is transformed into the executable representation. Because an executable representation is used as the intermediate layer, the low level evaluation can be active. The example will be implemented with an analysis model which is evaluated and for which results are output. This multi-level modelling approach will be investigated within the framework aimed for the design automation with a feature-based model.

Free viewpoint TV can provide multi-angle view point images for viewer needs. In the real world, But all angle view point images can not be captured by camera. Only a few any angle view point images are captured by each camera. Group of the captured images is called multi-view image. Therefore free viewpoint TV wants to production of virtual sub angle view point images form captured any angle view point images. Interpolation methods are known of this problem general solution. To product interpolated view point image of correct angle need to depth image of multi-view image. Unfortunately, multi-view video including depth image is necessary to develop a new compression encoding technique for storage and transmission because of a huge amount of data. Layered depth image is an efficient representation method of multi-view video data. This method makes a data structure that is synthesis of multi-view color and depth image. This paper proposed enhanced compression method using layered depth image representation and H.264/AVC video coding technology. In experimental results, confirmed high compression performance and good quality reconstructed image.

Person re-identification is to match pedestrians observed from non-overlapping camera views. It has important applications in video surveillance such as person retrieval, person tracking, and activity analysis. However, it is a very challenging problem due to illumination, pose and viewpoint variations between non-overlapping camera views. In this work, we propose a viewpoint invariant method for matching pedestrian images using orientation of pedestrian. First, the proposed method divides a pedestrian image into patches and assigns angle to a patch using the orientation of the pedestrian under the assumption that a person body has the cylindrical shape. The difference between angles are then used to compute the similarity between patches. We applied the proposed method to real-time global multi-object tracking across multiple disjoint cameras with non-overlapping field of views. Re-identification algorithm makes global trajectories by connecting local trajectories obtained by different local trackers. The effectiveness of the viewpoint invariant method for person re-identification was validated on the VIPeR dataset. In addition, we demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed approach for the inter-camera multiple object tracking on the MCT dataset with ground truth data for local tracking.

인터랙티브 스토리텔링 시스템(Interactive Storytelling System) 상에서 다양한 이야기의 진행과 결말을 표현할 수 있는 비선형적인 이야기(nonlinear story)는 사용자와의 상호작용으로 생성된다. 또한 연극이나 영화에서 관객은 하나의 장면에서 진행되고 있는 이야기만을 볼 수 있고 다른 장면의 이야기를 보기 위해서는 현재 장면이 끝난 후 다른 장면의 이야기를 볼 수 있다. 그러나 현실에서는 여러 가지 사건들이 여러 장소에서 동시에 발생하고 게다가 특정 사건들은 다른 사건들에 영향을 미치기 때문에 전체적인 이야기의 흐름에 큰 영향을 줄 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 비선형 스토리의 생성을 위한 제약 조건 기반의 서술구조(Constraint Based Narrative Structure)를 소개하고 동시 진행 이야기(Simultaneous Story Arcs)의 제어를 위한 멀티뷰포인트(multi viewpoint)를 제안한다.

Free-viewpoint video (FVV) service provides multi viewpoints of contents and synthesizes intermediate video files which are not captured on some view angles so that enables users to watch as they choose wherever they want. Synthesizing video is necessary technique to provide FVV video service, because every video of the FVV contents for different view angles cannot be stored to the content server physically. For the reason, fast view synthesis can improve the quality of video service and increase user's satisfaction. One of the studies for FVV service, a method was proposed to transmit FVV service based on DASH (Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP). There is big advantage on using DASH that it is commonly used to transport video service. However, the method was only a conceptual proposal, so it is difficult to implement the system using the proposal. In this paper, we propose an implementation method to provide real-time FVV service smoothly. We suggest a system structure and operation method on the server and client side in detail, which is to be applicable to synthesize video quickly. Also, we suggest generating FVV service map additionally which controls a FVV service overall. We manage real-time information of the whole service through the service map. The service can be controlled by reducing the possible delay from network situation.

In this paper, we propose a method to generate a free viewpoint image using multi-viewpoint images which are taken by cameras arranged circularly. In past times, we have proposed the method to generate a free viewpoint image based on Ray-Space method. However, with that method, we can not generate a walk-through view seen from a virtual viewpoint among objects. The method we propose in this paper realizes the generation of such view. Our method gets information of the positions of objects using shape from silhouette method at first, and selects appropriate cameras which acquired rays needed for generating a virtual image. A free viewpoint image can be generated by collecting rays which pass over the focal point of a virtual camera. However, when the requested ray is not available, it is necessary to interpolate it from neighboring rays. Therefore, we estimate the depth of the objects from a virtual camera and interpolate ray information to generate the image. In the experiments with the virtual sequences which were captured at every 6 degrees, we set the virtual camera at user's choice and generated the image from that viewpoint successfully.

현재 MPEG(Moving Picture Expert Group)은 1998년에 시작되어 멀티미디어 콘텐츠에 관한 압축 및 표현기술에 대한 표준규격을 제정하는 기구로, 그간 MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, MPEG-7 규격에 대한 표준 규격을 제정해 왔다. MPEG의 표준들 중에서 3차원 비디오와 관련된 규격으로는 1996년 MPEG-2 Video 표준에 포함된 Multi-View Profile을 들 수 있다. 하지만 MPEG-2 Multi-View Profile은 주 대상이 양안시점 영상에 대한 압축규격으로, 다시점 비디오 기술을 만족시키기에는 충분하지 않다. 그리고 MPEG-2는 시점 변경에 대한 기술이 없어 다시점 비디오를 이용한 시점전환(interactive)과 같은 서비스를 제공하지 못하는 한계를 지니고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 기존의 MPEG-4 시스템에 추가적으로 비디오 스위칭을 위해 특정시점을 기술할 수 있는 구조를 제안한다.

This paper deals with the Cell-based distributed processing for generating free viewpoint images by merging multiple differently focused images. We previously proposed the method of generating free viewpoint images without any depth estimation. However, it is not so easy to realize real-time image reconstruction based on our previous method. In this paper, we discuss the method to reduce the processing time by dimension reduction for image filtering and Cell-based distributed processing. Especially, the method of high-speed image reconstruction by the Cell processor on SONY PLAYSTATION3(PS3) is described in detail. We show some experimental results by using real images and we discuss the possibility of real-time free viewpoint image reconstruction.
