Point-sampled 3D video of real-world scenes

An Overview of Three-Dimensional Videos: 3D Content Creation, 3D Representation and Visualization

“…However, most settings utilize several digital cameras as in [26], for example. The concept of 3D video bricks was introduced in [82]. One 3D video brick is composed by a projector, two black-and-white cameras and a high-definition color camera.…”

“…Also, many 3D video systems based on multiview stereo algorithms have been proposed [44,82,84,92]. In the context of FVV one of the pioneering works can be seen in [26].…”

“…Many 3DV and FVV systems benefits from this idea [26,[81][82][83][84]92]. In [81], for example, a real-time 3D system is presented.…”

Reduced Depth and Visual Hulls of Complex 3D Scenes

“…Different techniques are used for that purpose, e.g. stereo [KNR95,CSS02], volume carving [KS98], point-based representation and rendering [LWG04,WWCG07], photo-consistency, like voxel coloring [SD97] and its successor photo-hull [YWB03,LMS04b]. The advent of depth video cameras [Ins,Via,Can] open new horizons for novel view synthesis.…”

Point Cloud Streaming for 3D Avatar Communication

“…Thus it can be implemented with simple parallel processing. In (Waschbüsch, et al, 2007), a 3D imaging system based on the stereo matching method has been proposed for real-time application. In the stereo method, estimating depth is unstable because of the mismatch of corresponding points.…”
