Summary:

3DTV introduces a number of new challenges compared to existing television production and broadcast scenarios. This book introduces the key concepts associated with 3DTV, examining all major aspects of the 3DTV chain from capture to display. It provides readers with a systems-level appreciation of 3DTV systems, allowing an understanding of the fundamental principles behind each part of the chain. Key features: Provides a systematic introduction and description of 3DTV key techniques, which build up the whole 3DTV system from capture to the consumer viewing at home, Details the workflow within the 3DTV delivery chain, including 3D media capture, processing, coding, transmission and rendering, Offers a state-of-the-art review of key techniques in 3DTV - discusses recent advances and outlines the future of the 3DTV services by addressing the areas that need further progress, Addresses the fast-moving field of 3D displays Book jacket.
