Selected Topics on Multimedia Tele-immersive Environments

Fall 2006

Seminar Description: This seminar on multimedia tele-immersive environments aims to present a comprehensive view of tele-immersive system, networking, computer vision with 3D calibration, reconstruction and view manipulation alogirhtms that are very much related to accomplishing high-quality 3D collaborative environments. In this class, we will take the top-down approach starting with papers that discuss well-known 3D tele-immersive calibration, 3D reconstruction and view manipulation algorithms. We will then move on to 3D video tele-immersive environments and read/discuss papers on multi-camera multimedia streaming for 3D content, compression for real-time communication, networking, synchronization issues, and others.
