II-NEW: An Infrastructure to Support Advanced Computational Stereoscopic Cinematography and System

该项目支持波特兰州立大学的研究重点是增强可视化的计算立体成像。支持立体3D的设备正变得越来越普遍，为用户提供更加身临其境的体验。然而，在立体内容的日益增长的需求与立体内容生产的有限能力之间存在差距。立体内容需要仔细制作，以避免3D疲劳。该项目通过建立立体成像，显示和系统基础设施来支持计算立体摄影和电影摄影，立体系统支持和下一代多镜头立体成像的研究，从而使研究能够弥合这一差距。该基础设施包括全面的立体成像设备和一系列立体显示器。立体成像设备包括最先进的商用相机和模仿下一代多镜头成像设备的平台的开发。该项目的一个特别重要的组成部分是开发一个大型的，多样化的传统立体视频和多镜头立体成像数据集，将与社区共享，以促进立体3D的计算研究。该项目有助于更好地理解捕获、压缩和显示之间的关系，并促进高质量立体内容的制作，以减少人们因观看低质量立体内容而产生的3D疲劳和头痛等副作用。研究成果通过会议和期刊出版物传播，研究数据，特别是立体视频库，在网上共享。

This project supports the research focused on computational stereoscopic imaging for enhanced visualization at Portland State University. Stereoscopic 3D enabled devices are becoming more ubiquitous, providing their users with a more immersive experience. However, there exists a gap between the increasing demand of stereoscopic content and the limited capability of stereoscopic content production. Stereoscopic content needs to be carefully produced to avoid 3D fatigue. This project enables research to bridge this gap by establishing a stereoscopic imaging, displaying, and system infrastructure to support the research on computational stereoscopic photography and cinematography, stereoscopic systems support, and next-generation multi-lens stereoscopic imaging. This infrastructure consists of a comprehensive spectrum of stereoscopic imaging equipment and a range of stereoscopic displays. The stereoscopic imaging equipment includes both the state-of-the-art commercial cameras and the development of a platform to mimic next-generation multi-lens imaging devices. A particularly important component of this project is to develop a large, diverse set of conventional stereoscopic videos and multi-lens stereoscopic imaging data that will be shared with the community to promote computational research on stereoscopic 3D. This project helps to better understand the relation between capture, compression, and display, and to facilitate the production of high-quality stereoscopic content to reduce the side effects such as 3D fatigue and headaches that people have from viewing low-quality stereoscopic content. The research results are disseminated through conference and journal publication and the research data, particularly the stereoscopic video library, is shared online.
