Technologies for Immersive Visual Experiences: Capture, Processing, Compression and Standardization - Part 3

The tutorial is focused on the state-of-the-art techniques for immersive video including acquisition, representation, processing, compression and viewport synthesis. The lecture is not intended for explanation of mathematical details but it rather is aimed at general description of the problems, recent research results, existing solutions, technical limitations, examples of practical solutions, standardization, and expected future developments. Special attention is given to practical solutions and current standardization projects, in particular those related to MPEG-I (MPEG Immersive). The lecture is aimed at organized and unified introduction and overview of the topic.
