One Day BMVA symposium, London, UK on 6th February, 2008

Prof. Bob Fisher (Edinburgh University)
Recent advances in camera technology and computing power have made the
acquisition of fast frame rate 3D video feasible : some commercial
systems have even been produced. However, subsequent 3D video processing
and analysis tools are still fairly embryonic. Whilst it is possible to
utilise existing 3D computer vision and image processing tools to perform
some tasks, no off-the-shelf processing packages have been developed and
indeed it is still an open ended research issue in to how such data may
be processed and analysed effectively.
However, the potential for 3D video in entertainment, multimedia, security,
medical and many other application areas is great. 3D imaging has many
advantages over 2D image and the same potential now exists in the video
domain. For example, humans readily recognise emotion and even identity
in a the dynamics of a human facial motion, modelling the dynamics of
how faces age/change over time has huge potential in film, forensics
and medical applications and, also, in a medical domain the potential
to detect the onset of certain diseases, such as muscle wasting diseases
and strokes, in 3D dynamic facial data.
Emerging display technologies allow for the direct input of 3D video data,
although issues still arise as to how to efficiently utilise more
traditional displays. Rendering and visualisation of 3D video has many
applications, for example, in rendering a person's dynamic facial
appearance before and after corrective surgery. In a more traditional
sense, the visualisation of two dimensional video sequences in a 3D
video space is a related issue with applications in surveillance and
security, for example. The areas of multiview 3D reconstruction and view
synthesis for 3D video are also relevant.
The aim of this meeting is to provide a forum for the discussion of recent
results in 3D video creation, processing/analysis, visualisation and
display technologies and applications.
