“…Within the Philips 3D project [1][7] [12] we are also actively promoting the use of the image + depth format that we think is both platform-independent and compatible with the current 2D video content processing and transmission infrastructures. From image + depth embedded processing within the displays performs the computation of the different views and the rendering.…”

This research focuses on the conversion of stereoscopic video material into an image + depth format which is suitable for rendering on the multiview auto-stereoscopic displays of Philips. The recent interest shown in the movie industry for 3D significantly increased the availability of stereo material. In this context the conversion from stereo to the input formats of 3D displays becomes an important task. In this paper we present a stereo algorithm that uses multiple footprints generating several depth candidates for each image pixel. We characterize the various matching windows and we devise a robust strategy for extracting high quality estimates from the resulting depth candidates. The proposed algorithm is based on a surface filtering method that employs simultaneously the available depth estimates in a small local neighborhood while ensuring correct depth discontinuities by the inclusion of image constraints. The resulting highquality image-aligned depth maps proved an excellent match with our 3D displays.

Philips provides autostereoscopic three-dimensional display systems that will bring the next leap in visual experience, adding true depth to video systems. We identified three challenges specifically for 3D image processing: 1) bandwidth and complexity of 3D images, 2) conversion of 2D to 3D content, and 3) object-based image/depth processing. We discuss these challenges and our solutions via several examples. In conclusion, the solutions have enabled the market introduction of several professional 3D products, and progress is made rapidly towards consumer 3DTV.

The aim of this paper is to create an accurate 3D-TV contents from 2D-video which can be used in a commercial 3D-TV broadcast environment. In this paper we propose an accurate recovering of non-rigid 3D shapes using a chained partial rigid factorization method. We have extended the existing rigid factorization algorithm to the stereo camera case. Our focus in this paper is on estimating deformable shapes from stereo images. Our experiments show the improved results for reconstructions.
