The MOBILE3DTV project aims at developing core elements of the next generation of mobile 3D television (3DTV). The project scenario assumes that stereoscopic video is captured and converted to a proper content format, then compressed, encapsulated, and broadcast to a large audience of mobile users, whose terminal devices receive, decode, and display the 3D content. Building upon two established technologies, namely the European DVB-H standard and auto-stereoscopic displays, the consortium will develop optimal mobile 3DTV data format and the associated content creation methods. Novel stereo video codecs, suitable for the robust delivery over the error-prone broadcasting channel, will be developed in the project. Resilience to transmission errors and concealment of degradations due to packet-loss, compression or stereoscopic artefacts will be investigated and optimized in terms of the quality perceived by user. Perceptual quality metrics will be developed in order to support the objective assessment of user satisfaction of the visualized 3DTV content. Advanced computational imagery algorithms for visual quality enhancement will be developed for both encoder and decoder side aiming to ensure the best possible visual experience for an acceptable computational effort. A prototype handheld device will be designed to receive, decode, and play stereoscopic video-streams. It will be used as the terminal device of a complete end-to-end mobile 3DTV system to be setup within the project in order to demonstrate the feasibility of delivering mobile 3DTV content over a real DVB-H channel. The resulting mobile 3DTV technology will have the potential to become widely available to consumers for 3D-content delivery. This is expected to strengthen the leading role of Europe in introducing novel media technologies and to generate new and sustainable market opportunities for European hardware manufacturers, software developers and content producers.

Towards 3-D scene reconstruction from broadcast video
Imre, Evren; KNORR, Sebastian; ÖZKALAYCI, Burak; TOPAY, Ugur; Alatan, Abdullah Aydın; SİKORA, Thomas (Elsevier BV, 2007-02-01)
Three-dimensional (3-D) scene reconstruction from broadcast video is a challenging problem with many potential applications, such as 3-D TV, free-view TV, augmented reality or three-dimensionalization of two-dimensional (2-D) media archives. In this paper, a flexible and effective system capable of efficiently reconstructing 3-D scenes from broadcast video is proposed, with the assumption that there is relative motion between camera and scene/objects. The system requires no a priori information and input, o...
User Assisted Stereo Image Retargetting
Tasli, H. Emrah; Gevers, Theo; Alatan, Abdullah Aydın (2013-01-01)
The wide availability of stereoscopic 3D TVs and mobile displays created a considerable market for content producers. This opened a new phase for researchers to study on methods to alter and process the content for various purposes. This study concentrates on user assisted disparity remapping for stereo image footage. The disparity of an object of interest is altered while leaving the remaining scene unattended. This application is useful in the sense that it provides a method for emphasizing/de-emphasizing...
Multi-view video coding via dense depth field
Özkalaycı, Burak Oğuz; Alatan, Abdullah Aydın; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2006)
Emerging 3-D applications and 3-D display technologies raise some transmission problems of the next-generation multimedia data. Multi-view Video Coding (MVC) is one of the challenging topics in this area, that is on its road for standardization via ISO MPEG. In this thesis, a 3-D geometry-based MVC approach is proposed and analyzed in terms of its compression performance. For this purpose, the overall study is partitioned into three preceding parts. The first step is dense depth estimation of a view from a ...
Single Molecule Activation and Computing (FOCUS)
Bek, Alpan(2014-3-31)
The present project, FOCUS, will build a novel generation of biologically inspired molecular devices (MDs) based on the developments of new photonic tools. These photonic tools will use Plasmon Polariton and two-photon technology, enabling focused light spots with a diameter around 10 nm. FOCUS will also develop new light sensitive molecules that will be selectively activated by our new photonic tools. These new technological innovations will provide a way to control activation of single light sensitive mol...
A modular scheme for 2D/3D conversion of TV broadcast
Knorr, Sebastian; Imre, Evren; Oezkalayci, Burak; Alatan, Abdullah Aydın; Sikora, Thomas (2006-06-16)
The 3D reconstruction from 2D broadcast video is a challenging problem with many potential applications, such as 3DTV, free-viewpoint video or augmented reality. In this paper, a modular system capable of efficiently reconstructing 3D scenes from broadcast video is proposed. The system consists of four constitutive modules: tracking and segmentation, self-calibration, sparse reconstruction and, finally, dense reconstruction. This paper also introduces some novel approaches for moving object segmentation and...
