Free Viewpoint TV is a system to view natural videos and allow users to control the viewpoint interactively. The main idea is that the users can switch between multiple video streams to find viewpoints of their own choice. The purpose of this research is to provide fast switching between video streams so that users experience less delay while viewpoint switching. In this paper, we discussed different stream switching methods in detail, including their transmission issues. In addition, we discussed various scenarios for fast stream switching in order to make services more interactive by minimizing delays. The quality of service is another factor which can be improved by assigning priorities to the packets. In addition, we discussed simultaneous stream transmission methods which are based on predictions and reduced quality streams for fast switching. Finally, we propose a prediction algorithm (Linear Regression) and system model for fast viewpoint switching and evaluate simultaneous stream transmission methods for free Viewpoint TV. The results indicate that the proposed system model improves the viewpoint switching and perform fast switching.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
