The recent advances in Image Based Rendering (IBR) has pioneered a new technology, free-view television, in which TV-viewers select freely the viewing position and angle by the application of IBR on the transmitted multi-view video. Noting that the TV-viewer might also record a personal video for this arbitrarily selected view and misuse this content, it is apparent that copyright and copy protection problems also exist and should be solved for free-view TV. In this paper, we focus on this problem by proposing a watermarking method for free-view video. The watermark is embedded into every frame of multiple views by exploiting the spatial masking properties of the Human Visual System (HVS). Assuming that the position and rotation for the imagery view is known, the proposed method extracts the watermark successfully from an arbitrarily generated image. In order to extend the method for the case of an unknown imagery camera position and rotation, the modifications on the watermark pattern due to image based rendering operations are also analyzed. Based on this analysis, a camera position and homography estimation method is proposed considering the operations in image based rendering. The results show that the watermark detection is achieved successfully for the cases in which the imagery camera is arbitrarily located on the camera plane.

Best watermarking selection for free-view point television Postofidis, EvIambios E.; Koz, Per; Triantafyllidis, Georgios (2007-06-30) The recent advances in Image Based Rendering (IBR) has pioneered a new technology, free view point television, in which TV-viewers select freely the viewing position and angle by the application of IBR on the transmitted multi-view video. In this paper, exhaustive tests were carried out to conclude to the best possible watermarking for free-view television. The watermark should not only be resistant to common video processing and multi-view video processing operations, it should also be extracted from a gen...

WATERMARKING FOR IMAGE-BASED RENDERING VIA HOMOGRAPHY-BASED VIRTUAL CAMERA LOCATION ESTIMATION Koz, Alper; Cigla, Cevahir; Alatan, Abdullah Aydın (2008-10-15) The recent advances in Image Based Rendering (IBR) have pioneered freely determining the viewing position and angle in a scene from multi-view video. Noting that a person could also record a personal video for this arbitrarily selected view and misuse this content, apparently, copyright and copy protection problems also exist and should be solved for IBR applications. In our recent work [1], we have proposed a watermarking method, which embeds the watermark pattern into every frame of multi-view video and e...
3D Object Modeling by Structured Light and Stereo Vision Ozenc, Ugur; Tastan, Oguzhan; GÜLLÜ, MEHMET KEMAL (2015-05-19) In this paper, we demonstrate a 3D object modeling system utilizing a setup which consists of two CMOS cameras and a DLP projector by making use of structured light and stereo vision. The calibration of the system is carried out using calibration pattern. The images are taken with stereo camera pair by projecting structured light onto the object and the correspondence problem is solved by both epipolar constraint of stereo vision and gray code constraint of structured light. The first experimental results s...
Privacy protection of tone-mapped HDR images using false colours ÇİFTÇİ, Serdar; Akyüz, Ahmet Oğuz; PİNHEİRO, Antonio M. G.; Ebrahimi, Touradj (2017-12-01) High dynamic range (HDR) imaging has been developed for improved visual representation by capturing a wide range of luminance values. Owing to its properties, HDR content might lead to a larger privacy intrusion, requiring new methods for privacy protection. Previously, false colours were proved to be effective for assuring privacy protection for low dynamic range (LDR) images. In this work, the reliability of false colours when used for privacy protection of HDR images represented by tone-mapping operators...
