3D Television (3DTV) Technology, Systems, and Deployment

Covering new advances, theories, and techniques, this book reflects the range of questions being posed about post-production 3D mastering, delivery options, and home screens. Each chapter deals with a different stage of an end-to-end 3DTV system, including capture, representation, coding, transmission, and display. Discussing theory and application, the text covers stereoscopic and autostereoscopic techniques—the latter eliminating the need for special glasses and allowing for viewer movement. It also examines emerging holographic approaches, which have the potential to provide the truest three-dimensional images.
