From Capture to Display: A Survey on Volumetric Video
Volumetric video, which offers immersive viewing experiences, is gaining
increasing prominence. With its six degrees of freedom, it provides viewers
with greater immersion and interactivity compared to traditional videos.
Despite their potential, volumetric video services poses significant
challenges. This survey conducts a comprehensive review of the existing
literature on volumetric video. We firstly provide a general framework of
volumetric video services, followed by a discussion on prerequisites for
volumetric video, encompassing representations, open datasets, and quality
assessment metrics. Then we delve into the current methodologies for each stage
of the volumetric video service pipeline, detailing capturing, compression,
transmission, rendering, and display techniques. Lastly, we explore various
applications enabled by this pioneering technology and we present an array of
research challenges and opportunities in the domain of volumetric video
services. This survey aspires to provide a holistic understanding of this
burgeoning field and shed light on potential future research trajectories,
aiming to bring the vision of volumetric video to fruition.Comment: Submitte
