The term “haptics” refers to the science of sensing and manipulation through touch. Multiple
disciplines such as biomechanics, psychophysics, robotics, neuroscience, and software …

In this paper, a new solution is introduced for the efficient compression of 3D video based on
color and depth maps. While standard video codecs are designed for coding monoscopic …

This paper surveys major techniques in 3D communications area, which covers the whole
pipeline of the 3D video communication framework, including 3D content creation, data …

BACKGROUND As three-dimension (3D) TV has been foreseen as a part of a next wave of
promising technologies for consumer elec tronics, the issue of lack of 3D content in the …

This article presents a comprehensive exploration of the issues underlying haptic
multimedia broadcasting from the processes of contents creation through transmission and …

Multimedia technologies are reaching the limits of providing audio-visual media that viewers
consume passively. An important factor, which will ultimately enhance the user's experience …

We propose a wavelet-based codec for the static depth-image-based representation, which
allows viewers to freely choose the viewpoint. The proposed codec jointly estimates and …

The emergence of three dimensional (3D) video applications, based on Depth Image Based
Rendering (DIBR) has brought up more requirements of bandwidth, due to the need of depth …

In this paper, we propose an efficient method for 3D model retrieval using a single depth
image. Unlike existing algorithms that use a complete 3D model or a user sketch as input …
