3D video based on multi-view representations is becoming widely popular. Real-time encoding/decoding of such video is an important concern as the number and resolution of views increase. We present systematic methods for design and optimization of real-time multi-view video encoding/decoding algorithms using multi-core processors and provide benchmark results. The proposed multi-core decoding architectures are fully compliant with the current JVT-MVC international standard, and enable multi-threaded processing with negligible loss of encoding efficiency. Benchmark results show that multi-core processors and multi-threading decoding is necessary for real-time multi-view video decoding and display.

3D video based on stereo/multi-view representations is becoming widely popular. Real-time encoding/decoding of such video is an important concern as the number and spatial/temporal resolution of views increase. We present a systematic method for design and optimization of multi-threaded multi-view video encoding/decoding algorithms using multi-core processors and provide benchmark results for real-time decoding. The proposed multi-core decoding architectures are compliant with the current MVC extension of H...
Composite Method in Real Time Video Stabilization
Bayrak, Serhat; Ulusoy, İlkay (2009-01-01)
Since digital video stabilization completely performs over the images, if requires exhaustive processing power. Therefore, it is less preferred for real-time applications. Global (background) motion estimation in floating video is the most time consuming part of digital video stabilization. In this work, the load of digital motion estimation is reduced by using mechanical motion sensors, thus, it is shown that digital video stabilization can be used for real-time applications.
Automatic eye tracking and intermediate view reconstruction for 3D imaging systems
Bediz, Yusuf; Akar, Gözde; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2006)
In recent years, the utilization of 3D display systems became popular in many application areas. One of the most important issues in the utilization of these systems is to render the correct view to the observer based on his/her position. In this thesis, we propose and implement a single user view rendering system for autostereoscopic/stereoscopic displays. The system can easily be installed on a standard PC together with an autostereoscopic display or stereoscopic glasses (shutter, polarized, pulfrich, and...
Summarizing video: Content, features, and HMM topologies
Yasaroglu, Y; Alatan, Abdullah Aydın (2003-01-01)
An algorithm is proposed for automatic summarization of multimedia content by segmenting digital video into semantic scenes using HMMs. Various multi-modal low-level features are extracted to determine state transitions in HMMs for summarization. Advantage of using different model topologies and observation sets in order to segment different content types is emphasized and verified by simulations. Performance of the proposed algorithm is also compared with a deterministic scene segmentation method. A better...
Object Segmentation in Multi-view Video via Color, Depth and Motion Cues
Cigla, Cevahir; Alatan, Abdullah Aydın (2009-01-01)
In the light of dense depth map estimation, motion estimation and object segmentation, the research on multi-view video (MVV) content has becoming increasingly popular due to its wide application areas in the near future. In this work, object segmentation problem is studied by additional cues due to depth and motion fields. Segmentation is achieved by modeling images as graphical models and performing popular Normalized Cuts method with some modifications. In the graphical models, each node is represented b...
