Immersive Video Technologies

Immersive Video Technologies offers a comprehensive overview of the leading technologies that enable visual immersion, including omnidirectional (360 degrees) video, light fields and volumetric video. Following the critical components of the typical content production and delivery pipeline, the book presents acquisition, representation, coding, rendering and quality assessment approaches for each immersive video modality, reviewing current standardization efforts while also exploring new research directions. Describes the whole content processing chain for the main immersive video modalities (omnidirectional video, light fields, and volumetric video) Offers a common theoretical background for immersive video technologies based on the concept of plenoptic function Presents some exemplary applications of immersive video technologies INDICE: 1.
