1st Call for papers
Topical Issue on 3DTV
3D Research Journal, Springer

Capturing three-dimensional visual information of a real-life scene
and creating an exact (except the scale) optical duplicate are
ultimate goals in visual communications over decades. All core and
peripheral components related to this goal are collectively referred
as “Three-Dimensional Television (3DTV)”. The objective of the
topical issue on 3DTV from the new Springer’s journal of 3D
Research, is to present the advances and the new developments of
researchers working on different but complementary areas (computer
vision and graphics, signal processing, telecommunications,
electronics, optics and physics), so that full scale 3D video
capabilities are seamlessly integrated.

Papers are solicited, but not limited to, the following and related
topics:
 
* Capturing 3D scenery:

3D capture for static and dynamic scenes, Multi-camera recording, 3D
photography algorithms, Synchronization and calibration of camera
arrays, 3D view registration, Multi-view geometry and calibration,
Holographic camera techniques
 
* 3D data processing:

3D motion analysis and tracking, Surface modeling for 3D scenes,
Multi-view image and processing, 3D head pose and gaze tracking
 
* Representation of 3D information:

3D mesh and volume representation, Texture and point representation,
Object-based representation and segmentation
 
* Coding 3D data for transmission:

Systems, architecture and streaming aspects of 3DTV, Compression of
depth and dispariy maps, meshes, holograms, and light fields,
Error-related issues and handling of 3d video, Multi-view video
coding, 3D mesh compression, Audio coding for 3DTV
 
* Displaying the result for 3D viewing:

Stereoscopic and auto-stereoscopic display techniques, Holographic
display technology, Reduced parallax systems and integral imaging,
Underlying optics and VLSI technology, Projection and display
technology for 3D video, Interaction with 3DTV, Human factors and
health effects of 3D vision
 
* 3DTV custom applications:

3D imaging in heritage and archaeology, 3D Teleimmersion and remote
collaboration, Augmented reality and virtual environments, 3D cinema,
games and entertainment, Medical and biomedical applications, 3D
Content-based retrieval and recognition, 3D Watermarking
