Abstract

FTV (Free-viewpoint Television) is the ultimate 3DTV that captures all rays in 3D space and reproduce the same rays at different place and time, thus it allows users to view a 3D scene by freely changing the viewpoints. We proposed the concept of FTV and realized FTV by developing various types of ray capture, processing and display technologies. At present, FTV is available on a laptop PC or a mobile player, and FTV with free listening-point audio is also realized. The international standardization of FTV has been conducted in MPEG. The first phase of FTV was MVC (Multi-view Video Coding) and the second phase is 3DV (3D Video).
