Free viewpoint video enables the visualisation of a scene from arbitrary viewpoints and directions. However, this flexibility in video rendering provides a challenge in 3D media for achieving spatial synchronicity between the audio and video objects. When the viewpoint is changed, its effect on the perceived audio scene should be considered to avoid mismatches in the perceived positions of audiovisual objects. Spatial audio coding with such flexibility requires decomposing the sound scene into audio objects initially, and then synthesizing the new scene according to the geometric relations between the A/V capturing setup, selected viewpoint and the rendering system. This paper proposes a free viewpoint audio coding framework for 3D media systems utilising multiview cameras and a microphone array. A real-time source separation technique is used for object decomposition followed by spatial audio coding. Binaural, multichannel sound systems and wave field synthesis systems are addressed. Subjective test results shows that the method achieves spatial synchronicity for various viewpoints consistently, which is not possible by conventional recording techniques.

Temporal watermarking of digital video Koz, A; Alatan, Abdullah Aydın (2003-04-11) A video watermarking method is presented, based on the temporal sensitivity of Human Visual System (HVS). The method exploits the temporal contrast thresholds of HVS to determine the spatio-temporal locations, where the watermark should be embedded, and the maximum strength of watermark, which still gives imperceptible distortion after watermark insertion. The robustness results indicate that the proposed scheme survives video distortions, such as additive Gaussian noise, ITU H.263+ coding at medium bit rat...
Depth assisted object segmentation in multi-view video Cigla, Cevahir; Alatan, Abdullah Aydın (2008-01-01) In this work, a novel and unified approach for multi-view video (MVV) object segmentation is presented. In the first stage, a region-based graph-theoretic color segmentation algorithm is proposed, in which the popular Normalized Cuts segmentation method is improved with some modifications on its graph structure. Segmentation is obtained by recursive bi-partitioning of a weighted graph of an initial over-segmentation mask. The available segmentation mask is also utilized during dense depth map estimation ste...
Region-based parametric motion segmentation using color information Altunbasak, Y; Eren, Pekin Erhan; Tekalp, AM (1998-01-01) This paper presents pixel-based and region-based parametric motion segmentation methods for robust motion segmentation with the goal of aligning motion boundaries with those of real objects in a scene. We first describe a two-step iterative procedure for parametric motion segmentation by either motion-vector or motion-compensated intensity matching. We next present a region-based extension of this method, whereby all pixels within a predefined spatial region are assigned the same motion label. These predefi...
Oblivious video watermaking using temporal sensitivity of HVS Koz, A; Alatan, Abdullah Aydın (2004-04-30) An oblivious video watermarking method is presented based on the temporal sensitivity of Human Visual System (HVS). The method exploits the temporal contrast thresholds of HVS to determine the maximum strength of watermark, which still gives imperceptible distortion after watermark insertion. Compared to other approaches in the literature, the method guarantees to avoid flickering problem in the watermarked video and gives better robustness results to video distortions, such as additive Gaussian noise, H.26...
Spatial Correlation in Single-Carrier Massive MIMO Systems Beigiparast, Nader; Güvensen, Gökhan Muzaffer; Ayanoglu, Ender (2020-02-02) © 2020 IEEE.We present the analysis of a single-carrier massive MIMO system for the frequency selective Gaussian multi-user channel, in both uplink and downlink directions. We develop expressions for the achievable sum rate when there is spatial correlation among antennas at the base station. It is known that the channel matched filter precoder (CMFP) performs the best in a spatially uncorrelated downlink channel. However, we show that, in a spatially correlated downlink channel with two different correlati...
