Transmission of 3D Video Content

International audienceThis chapter describes different video transport technologies that support the existing 3D video formats, such as frame-compatible side-by-side and multi-view video plus depth. Particular emphasis is given to the DVB systems (terrestrial, satellite, and cable) and IP transport, focusing HTTP/TCP streaming, adaptive HTTP streaming, RTP/UDP streaming, P2P Networks, and Information-Centric Networking-ICN. Hybrid transport technologies, combining broadcast and broadband networks for video delivery are also addressed. The chapter highlights important aspects of 3D video transmission over wireless networks, together with their benefits and limitations in the delivery of this type of content. Recent research results are summarized for different delivery systems and transport technologies

The south-western Black Forest and the Upper Rhine Graben Main Border Fault : thermal history and hydrothermal fluid flow

The thermal history of the south-westernmost Black Forest (Germany) and the adjacent Upper Rhine Graben were constrained by a combination of apatite and zircon fission-track (FT) and microstructural analyses. After intrusion of Palaeozoic granitic plutons in the Black Forest, the thermal regime of the studied area re-equilibrated during the Late Permian and the Mesozoic, interrupted by enhanced hydrothermal activity during the Jurassic. At the eastern flank of the Upper Rhine Graben along the Main Border Fault the analysed samples show microstructural characteristics related to repeated tectonic and hydrothermal activities. The integration of microstructural observations of the cataclastic fault gouge with the FT data identifies the existence of repeated tectonic-related fluid flow events characterised by different thermal conditions. The older took place during the Variscan and/or Mesozoic time at temperatures lower than 280A degrees C, whereas the younger was probably contemporary with the Cenozoic rifting of the Upper Rhine Graben at temperatures not higher than 150A degrees C
