Video processing and computational video

Mehr zum Buch

With the rapid advancement of video imaging technology and significant enhancements in CPU speed and memory, video processing and computational video are gaining popularity. This shift mirrors the digital revolution in photography from fifteen years ago, transforming the production of television and movies. The introduction of professional digital movie cameras, digital projectors for theaters, and 3D films is leading to an all-digital production pipeline, creating new opportunities for capturing dynamic scenes, editing footage, and experiencing visual media. This comprehensive survey compiles selected articles from a workshop on Video Processing and Computational Video held at Dagstuhl Castle, Germany, in October 2010. The seminar gathered junior and senior researchers from computer vision, computer graphics, and image communication across academia and industry to tackle challenges in computational video. During the event, 43 researchers worldwide discussed the latest advancements, contemporary challenges, and future directions in imaging, processing, analyzing, modeling, and rendering real-world dynamic scenes. The eight thoroughly revised papers presented were carefully chosen from over 30 lectures, providing a solid overview of computational video and video processing, with a focus on computational photography, video-based rendering, and 3D video.
