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
Temporal and Spatial Coherence: chronological and affective narrative within holographic and lenticular space.
The thesis for this practice-based study maintains that the Z and X axes of lenticular and holographic space can be used to store images chronologically, providing an audience with a new experience with affective and authentic impact. My contribution to knowledge has been to create a new element to the lenticular, analogue and digitally animated holographic artform. My research presents my familyâs archival material â photographs, film, text and objects â in a sequential order within the Z and X axes of holographic space, creating an animated four-dimensional (4-D) family album in which my ancestors recede into holographic space and members of the current generation float in front of the surface of the media. Audience experience of the artwork has been gathered and evaluated, providing evidence of the research studyâs contribution to knowledge.University of Southampto
Visual Servoing in Robotics
Visual servoing is a well-known approach to guide robots using visual information. Image processing, robotics, and control theory are combined in order to control the motion of a robot depending on the visual information extracted from the images captured by one or several cameras. With respect to vision issues, a number of issues are currently being addressed by ongoing research, such as the use of different types of image features (or different types of cameras such as RGBD cameras), image processing at high velocity, and convergence properties. As shown in this book, the use of new control schemes allows the system to behave more robustly, efficiently, or compliantly, with fewer delays. Related issues such as optimal and robust approaches, direct control, path tracking, or sensor fusion are also addressed. Additionally, we can currently find visual servoing systems being applied in a number of different domains. This book considers various aspects of visual servoing systems, such as the design of new strategies for their application to parallel robots, mobile manipulators, teleoperation, and the application of this type of control system in new areas
