Abstract
自由視点テレビ(Free-viewpoint TV,FTV)は,ユーザが自ら視点を自由に移動させて3次元シーンを見ることができる究極の3次元テレビである.無限個の視点を持つFTVは,極めて高いセンシングや表現の能力を持ち,産業や社会,生活,文化の発展に大きな貢献が期待される,FTVを構築するための技術開発を進め,撮影から表示までの全てをリアルタイムで行うFTVシステムを開発した.また,PC1台での自由視点画像生成や自由聴点の実装にも成功している.FTVは国際的にも高く評価され,MPEGにおいてFTVの国際標準化が進められている.FTVの第1フェーズとして,多視点映像符号化(Multi-view Video Coding,MVC)が2009年2月に成立した.現在,2年以内の完成を目指し,FTVの第2フェーズとして3次元ディスプレイに表示する3DV(3D Video)の標準化を行っている.
FTV (Free-viewpoint TV) is an ultimate 3DTV that enables to view a 3D world by freely changing the viewpoint. FTV will greatly contribute to the development of industry, society, life and culture because FTV has an in finite number of viewpoints and hence it has very high sensing and representation capabilities. We proposed the concept of FTV and constructed the world's first real-time system including the complete chain of operation from image capture to display. We also realized FTV on a single PC and FTV with free listening-point audio. MPEG regarded FTV as the most challenging 3D media and started the international standardization activities of FTV. The first phase of FTV is MVC (Multi-view Video Coding) and the second phase is 3DV (3D Video). MVC was completed in February 2009. 3DV is a standard that targets serving a variety of 3D displays. It will be completed within the next two years.
