Abstract: Recently, 3D video has been used to enhance video applications such as 3DTV, 3D Cinema and 3D video-conferencing, as it offers a greater sense of immersion. In this seminar, an overview of 3D video communication system will be presented. It includes 3D video capturing, 3D video compression and transmission, 3D video error resilience and 3D video display. Subjective and objective quality evaluation of a 3D video communication system will be discussed. Recent 3D video standardization and research activities will also be highlighted. An auto-stereoscopic 3D display (3D display without glass) will be demonstrated.

 

Biography:

Dr. Hezerul Abdul Karim obtained his B.Eng. degree in Electronics with Communications from University of Wales Swansea, UK, in 1998 and M. Eng Science degree from Multimedia University, Malaysia in 2003. He obtained his PhD degree from Center for Communication Systems Research (CCSR), University of Surrey, UK in 2008. He is a Lecturer at Multimedia University since 2002 and now a Senior Lecturer since 2010. He has been teaching multimedia engineering subjects (Digital Video and Image Processing and Digital Image and Video Compression).
