Abstract:
Multiview autostereoscopic displays (MADs) make it
possible to view video content in 3D without wearing special glasses, and such
displays have recently become available. The main problem of MADs is that they
require several (typically 8 or 9) views, while most of the 3D video content is
in stereoscopic 3D today. To bridge this content-display gap, the research
community started to devise automatic multiview
synthesis (MVS) methods. Common MVS methods are based on depth-image-based
rendering, where a dense depth map of the scene is used to reproject
the image to new viewpoints. Although physically correct, this approach
requires accurate depth maps and additional inpainting
steps. Our work uses an alternative conversion concept based on image domain
warping (IDW) which has been successfully applied to related problems such as
aspect ratio retargeting for streaming video, and disparity remapping for depth
adjustments in stereoscopic 3D content. IDW shows promising performance in this
context as it only requires robust, sparse pointcorrespondences
and no inpainting steps. However, MVS, using IDW as
well as alternative approaches, is computationally demanding and requires realtime processing – yet such methods should be portable
to end-user and even mobile devices to develop their full potential. To this
end, this thesis investigates efficient algorithms and hardware architectures
for a variety of subproblems arising in the MVS
pipeline.
