3D-ConTourNet Newsletter 2 ISSUE 1 SPRING 2013

Message from the Coordinator


In the last few years, three-dimensional (3D) multimedia has been a field of

worldwide research and technology development of applications and

services, towards increasing levels of realism and immersive

environments. There is no doubt about the future socio-economic impacts

of 3D multimedia in entertainment, education, science, industry, military

and medicine among others. What might be unknown is when and how

users and stakeholders in general will realize the full impacts of on-going

developments. As a research community, the participants in COST Action

3D-ConTourNet are actively contributing for shaping the future of 3D

multimedia, linking diverse technological aspects to performance factors,

practical usefulness and user experience.

3D-ConTourNet aims at coordinated research collaboration, at European

level, in 3D multimedia creation, encoding and delivery of services and

applications over future networking technologies. It includes researchers

from 50 institutions across 24 COST countries (Croatia, Malta, Cyprus,

Netherlands, Denmark, Norway, Finland, Poland, FYR of Macedonia,

Portugal, France, Romania, Germany, Serbia, Greece, Slovenia, Hungary,

Spain, Ireland, Sweden, Israel, Turkey, Italy, United Kingdom) plus 2 non-

COST countries (Brazil and Australia).

After the first 6 months of activity, 3D-ConTourNet organised a successful

Training School in Tampere, the first Working Groups and Management

Committee meetings in Cagliari and co-organised a workshop at the NEM

Summit, in Istanbul. The Action also approved 3 Short Term Scientific

Missions for Early Stage Researchers with relevant work plans. These

activities were important events to start networking and interaction with

other European research programmes with objectives in the field of 3D

networked media. Future activities will pursue the development of

stronger links among participants to achieve effective coordinated results.

3D-ConTourNet is also open to enlarge its community of participants to

enrich the Action outcomes through increased relevancy of its activities

and higher potential impact at European level.

This newsletter highlights the activities and accomplishments of 3D-

ContourNet in its first semester – to enjoy reading and disseminate!

Highlights from the First Working Group Meetings in

Cagliari Luigi Atzori

The first 3DConTourNet WG&MC meeting was held on the 13th and the 14th

of September, in Cagliari (Italy), with a participation of about 40

Researchers. The event was organized by the faculty of Engineering of the

University of Cagliari and I had the pleasure to host it. The agenda of the

meeting was organized so as to have presentations grouped into six

sessions held into two parallel tracks; each session was related to a specific

working group and lasted for half-a-day. We then had the WG meetings the

first day and during the morning of the second day, whereas in the

afternoon of the second day we had the Management Committee meeting.

Having two tracks in parallel was a good solution to allow each member of

the working groups to make a presentation about her/his scientific

research activities; on the other hand, there were participants interested in

presentations held in parallel and that had to make a choice losing one of

the speeches. For this reasons we decided to have a single track for next

meeting.

Major decisions about next activities of the Action were taken during the

Management Meeting. One of these is related to the writing of white papers.

Even if somehow it changed by the date I am writing this report, in Cagliari

we decided to organize six white papers; each one of these is associated to

a different WG, with the effort of writing led by the relevant WG chair. After

this decision, we recognized that was better to reduce the number of works

to avoid overlaps and concentrate our efforts. Another important decision

was related to the organization of our next events, namely: the industry

forum in Poznan in April 2013, in conjunction with our next meeting; and

our workshop (Immersive & Interactive Multimedia Communications over

the Future Internet) that has been approved as an event of the IEEE ICC

conference next June in Budapest.

Let me conclude this brief report saying that this meeting was very

successful in terms of exchange of ideas, set up of new joint initiatives and

meeting each other in person other than over the Internet as we usually do!

Call for Applications for Short Term Scientific

Missions

Jürgen Seiler

As part of the COST Action IC1105 3D-ConTourNet, the possibility exists to

support Short Term Scientific Missions (STSM) for promoting exchange

visits between different institutions. The primary aim of a STSM is to

contribute to the scientific objectives of the COST Action by allowing

scientists to visit an institution or laboratory in another COST country. The

intentions of the STSM are to foster collaboration and strengthen existing

networks, to learn new techniques or to take measurements using

instruments or methods that are not available in the own institution. The

duration of an STSM should be between at least one week (5 working days)

and a maximum of 3 months.

STSM are particularly intended for young scientists and potential

candidates for an STSM should be engaged in a program of research as a

postgraduate student or postdoctoral fellow or be employed in an

institution of a COST country.

A grant usually covers expenses for travel and subsistence. The financial

contribution for an STSM is a fixed grant that is based on the budget

request and the evaluation of the application by the STSM assessment

panel. The total expenses for an STSM shall not exceed EUR 2500.

A detailed description of the objectives of STSM and the application process

can be found in Chapter 4 of the COST Vademecum (Part B) – Grant System

http://www.cost.eu/module/download/8321. STSM applications must

follow item 4.10 "How to Submit a STSM Application" of this document and

PhD Thesis

Perceptually Optimized Visualization on Autostereoscopic 3D Displays, Atanas Boev

Sept. 2012, Tampere University of Technology, http://URN.fi/URN:ISBN:978-952-15-3038-8

The thesis proposes a number of signal processing techniques for decreasing the visibility of artefacts on

3D displays. The principles of operation of the most popular types of 3D displays are explained. Based on

the display operation principles, 3D displays are modelled as a signal processing channel. The model is

used to explain the process of introducing distortions. It also allows one to identify which optical

properties of a display are most relevant to the creation of artefacts. A set of optical properties for dual-

view and multiview 3D displays are identified, and a methodology for measuring them is introduced. The

measurement methodology allows one to derive the angular visibility and crosstalk of each display

element without the need for precision measurement equipment. Based on the measurements, a

methodology for creating a quality profile of 3D displays is proposed. The quality profile can be either

simulated using the angular brightness function or directly measured from a series of photographs. A

comparative study introducing the measurement results on the visual quality and position of the sweet-

spots of eleven 3D displays of different types is presented. Knowing the sweet-spot position and the

quality profile allows for easy comparison between 3D displays. The shape and size of the passband

allows depth and textures of a 3D content to be optimized for a given 3D display. Based on knowledge of

3D artefact visibility and an understanding of distortions introduced by 3D displays, a number of signal

processing techniques for artefact mitigation are created. A methodology for designing anti-aliasing

filters for 3D displays is proposed. For multiview displays, the methodology is extended towards so-called

passband optimization which addresses Moiré, fixed-pattern-noise and ghosting artefacts, which are

characteristic for such displays. Additionally, design of tuneable anti-aliasing filters is presented, along

with a framework which allows the user to select the so-called 3d sharpness parameter according to his

or her preferences.

The thesis was co-supervised by Prof. Atanas Gotchev and Prof. Karen Egiazarian. The thesis was

defended on 31.08.2012. Dr. Phil Surman from DeMontfort University and Dr. Martin Schrader from

Nokia Research Center acted as Opponents at the thesis defense.

Multidimensional characterization of quality of experience of stereoscopic 3D TV, Chen Wei

Oct. 2012, http://tel.archives-ouvertes.fr/docs/00/78/59/87/PDF/ThA_se_final_Chenwei.pdf

Stereoscopic-3DTV (S-3DTV) should provide enhanced depth perception to viewer while it might affect

other factors of user experience. Subjective assessment is the most direct way to assess quality of

experience (QoE). However, conventional assessment methods are not sufficient to evaluate the QoE of S-

3DTV. This thesis aims first to propose new methodologies to evaluate S-3DTV QoE; second, investigate

different technical issues related to QoE along the 3DTV broadcasting chain; third, propose

recommendations

recommendations to optimize the S-3DTV QoE. For methodological aspects, the key idea relies on using

multidimensional QoE indicators. Visual fatigue, as a particular dimension of QoE, is addressed separately

under optimal viewing conditions using questionnaire, vision test and EEG signals. For other QoE

indicators, we design subjective QoE experiments to investigate the impact of content acquisition, 3D

representation format, compression and transmission on QoE of S-3DTV. The experiment results

quantitatively reveal how perceived binocular depth, compression distortion, the cooperation between

3D representation formats and line interleaved display, and view asymmetries affect multidimensional

QoE of S-3DTV. Additionally, we elaborate and validate optimal stereoscopic shooting rules, depth budget

for visual comfort, appropriate frame compatible format for line interleaved display, bitrate to broadcast

S-3DTV, threshold for view asymmetries to avoid visual discomfort.

From 2D to Stereoscopic-3D Visual Saliency: Revisiting Psychophysical Methods and

Computational Modeling, Junle Wang

Nov. 2012, http://tel.archives-ouvertes.fr/docs/00/78/59/71/PDF/Thesis_WANG_Vol1.pdf

Visual attention is one of the most important mechanisms deployed in the human visual system to reduce

the amount of information that our brain needs to process. An increasing amount of efforts are being

dedicated in the studies of visual attention, particularly in computational modeling of visual attention. In

this thesis, studies focusing on several aspects of the research of visual attention are revisited, mainly

classified into two parts. The first part concerns ground truths used in the studies related to visual

attention ; the second part contains studies related to the modeling of visual attention for Stereoscopic 3D

(S-3D) viewing condition. In the first part, the work starts with identifying the reliability of FDM from

different eye-tracking databases. Then, quantitatively identification of the similarities and difference

between fixation density maps and visual importance map is considered. Next, to solve the problem of

lacking ground truth in the community of 3D visual attention modeling, a binocular eye-tracking

experiment to create is presented leading to a new eye-tracking database for S-3D images. In the second

part, we start with examining the impact of depth on visual attention in S-3D viewing condition. We firstly

introduce a so-called "depth-bias" in the viewing of synthetic S-3D content on planar stereoscopic display.

Then, we extend our study from synthetic stimuli to natural content S-3D images. We propose a depth-

saliency-based model of 3D visual attention, which relies on depth contrast of the scene. Two different

ways of applying depth information in S-3D visual attention model are also compared in our study. Next,

we study the difference of center-bias between 2D and S-3D viewing conditions, and further integrate the

center-bias with S-3D visual attention modeling. At the end, based on the assumption that visual attention

can be used for improving Quality of Experience of 3D-TV when collaborating with blur, we study the

influence of blur on depth perception and blur's relationship with binocular disparity.

Temporal and inter-view interpolation for the improvement of the side information in distributed

video coding, Giovanni Petrazzuoli

Distributed source coding is a paradigm that consists in encoding two correlated sources independently,

provided that they are decoded jointly. Wyner and Ziv proved that distributed source coding can attain

the same rate distortion performance of joint coding, under some constraints. This feature makes

distributed source coding very attractive for applications that require a low-complexity encoder (such as

for wireless sensor networks) or for avoiding communication between the sources (such as in multiview

video systems).

In distributed video coding, correlated frames are encoded separately but decoded jointly. In the Stanford

Architecture, the video is split into Key Frames and Wyner-Ziv Frames. Only the Key Frames are sent to

the decoder. The Wyner-Ziv Frames are fed into a systematic channel coder and the parity bits are sent to

the decoder. At the decoder side, an estimation of the Wyner-Ziv Frame, called side information, is

produced by interpolating the frames available at the decoder side. The side information, considered as a

noisy version of the real Wyner-Ziv Frame, is corrected by the parity bits sent by the encoder. In this

thesis, we study several algorithms for side information generation in the context of distributed

multiview video coding both for the temporal and inter-view interpolation. All our algorithms outperform

the state-of-the-art in terms of rate distortion performance. A second contribution is in the context of the

multiview video plus depth (MVD) format. In the interactive multiview video streaming paradigm,

distributed video coding assures the continuity of the playback during the streaming, since the Wyner-Ziv

Frames can be decoded independently from which reference frames are available at the decoder side.

Several algorithms for Wyner-Ziv estimation in this context have been proposed.

Publications

This section is aimed at listing the major publications of the Cost Action members on research activities around 3D content and applications during the period August 2012 – January 2013. Some publications not directly addressing 3D data are also listed as a demonstration of the fact that the action members are active in a broad range of related topics. The papers are classified in Books, Journals and Conference papers in random order. The section others includes demos, presentations and contributions to standards.

Books R. A. Farrugia and C. J. Debono, Multimedia Networking and Coding, IGI Global Dissemination of

Knowledge, Dec. 2012. The multimedia signal processing and communication research community has concentrated its research effort in the design of novel error resilient strategies, video coding schemes, quality of experience modeling, cross layer optimization, peer-to-peer video streaming, and specialized multimedia network protocols. In addition to this, this research has paved the way to the development of novel applications such as telemedicine, real-time intelligent surveillance systems, distributed multimedia retrieval services and several others. The continuous and fast evolution of this research area has inspired the editors to develop this book, which covers a broad spectrum within the field of multimedia signal processing and communications. The editors felt the need to put the latest research and the future directions in this area together in one book, with the prime purpose to stimulate more research and innovation in multimedia systems. Another major objective of this book was to introduce this research topic to the non-expert readers in order to target this book to a wider audience including engineering and computer science students. The editors have therefore contacted several International experts in the concerned fields who cover different aspects of Multimedia signal processing and communications and were asked to write self-contained chapters about their latest research. The chapters had to be targeted for both expert and non-expert readers, and include future research trends within each field tackled in the chapter.

F. Dufaux, B. Pesquet-Popescu, and M. Cagnazzo, Emerging Technologies for 3D Video: Creation, Coding, Transmission and Rendering, Wiley, 2013. 3D video is often considered as one of the major upcoming innovation in video technology, with the expectation of greatly enhanced user experience. By covering both the state-of-the-art and advanced research topics, the book intends to provide an overview of key technologies for 3D video applications, with the ambition to become a reference for those involved or interested in 3D video systems and services. This book should be of interest to a broad readership with different backgrounds and expectations, including professors, graduate and undergraduate students, researchers, engineers, practitioners, and managers making technological decisions about 3D video. Readers will gain a deep expertise of existing technologies currently being deployed in the market place, understanding their potentials and limitations. Moreover, readers will get a presentation of advanced research topics, giving them a preview of emerging and upcoming future technologies. The book has the objective to tackle all aspects involved in 3D video systems and services, including content acquisition and creation, data representation and coding, transmission, view synthesis, rendering, display technologies, human perception of depth, and quality assessment. Relevant standardization efforts are also reviewed. Finally, applications and implementation issues are addressed. The book includes contributions from several 3D ContourNet partners.
