3D video technology enhances our visual experience by introducing an additional dimension of depth to conventional 2D video, leading to heightened quality of user experience, a more natural viewing environment, and a conducive platform for human interaction. Furthermore, when applied in medical contexts such as robotic surgery and minimally invasive procedures, 3D video has the potential to enhance diagnostic accuracy and surgical precision. However, the widespread adoption of 3D video applications faces challenges due to resource demands, including extensive storage capacity and high bandwidth requirements for effective communication.
Within the pages of this book, we delve into the essential elements of the end-to-end 3D video communication process, addressing contemporary challenges and exploring potential remedies using existing technological frameworks. Key subjects covered in this comprehensive work include diverse 3D video formats, cutting-edge 3D video capture methods, innovative 3D video encoding techniques, strategies for 3D video transmission, and approaches to evaluating the quality of 3D video content.
