Immersive Video Technologies: From Capture to Representation, Coding, and Display

Video technologies have undergone a remarkable transformation in recent years, driven by the quest for creating truly immersive experiences for users. From capture to representation, coding, and display, a wide range of advancements have been made, aiming to envelop viewers in a captivating world of visual immersion. In this comprehensive book, we delve into the world of immersive video technologies, exploring their various modalities and their impact on visual perception.

Setting up a common foundation for these technologies, we begin by delving into the theoretical concept of plenoptic function, which forms the basis for understanding immersive video. This theoretical framework provides a framework for understanding the principles behind omnidirectional (360 degrees) video, light fields, and volumetric video, three distinct modalities that enable visual immersion.

Immersive Video Technologies provides a comprehensive overview of these leading technologies, covering their key components, acquisition, representation, coding, rendering, and quality assessment. Each immersive video modality is explored in detail, with a focus on the critical aspects of content production and delivery. The book also reviews current standardization efforts and explores emerging research directions, ensuring readers are up-to-date with the latest developments in the field.

By gaining a broad understanding of immersive video technologies that employ three different modalities: omnidirectional video, light fields, and volumetric video, readers will be equipped to:

• Gain a comprehensive understanding of immersive video technologies that use three different modalities: omnidirectional video, light fields, and volumetric video.


• Learn about the most recent scientific results in the field, including the recent learning-based methodologies.


• Understand the challenges and perspectives for immersive video technologies.

This book is a valuable resource for researchers, practitioners, and students in the fields of computer vision, multimedia processing, and visual perception. It offers a comprehensive and up-to-date exploration of immersive video technologies, providing a solid foundation for further research and development in this rapidly evolving field.

Whether you are interested in developing immersive video applications, exploring new content creation techniques, or understanding the latest advancements in visual perception, Immersive Video Technologies is an essential read.
