Advanced Media Content

Most of tomorrow’s media formats tend to increase the sense of immersion into the content. Transforming the end-user/consumer’s experience by putting them into the middle of the action or information is the challenge, especially whenever narrative aspects are key.

It’s being seen in all forms of media: Television, movies, games, advertising, training, collaborative work, monitoring, industrial signage, the Web, etc.

The Advanced Media Content lab is building tools that enable the creation, storage, transportation, and sharing both for and by as many people as possible. It delivers expertise and technologies related to innovative dimensions of images (resolution, depth, color, light, etc.), sound (spatialized), and new rendering devices (screen, projection, AR/VR head-mounted displays with 3 or 6 degrees of freedom, etc.). It develops tools and solutions aimed at enabling the adoption of these future formats by industry professionals, and ultimately by end consumers. Holography and compression systems are key areas of expertise for the laboratory.

Computer generated hologram from Multiview-plus-Depth data considering specular reflections

A novel approach for hologram computation from Multiview-plus-Depth (MVD) data is studied in this paper. The proposed method consists of three steps. First, intensity views and depth maps pairs of the scene are taken from different perspective viewpoints. Then, the 3D scene geometry is reconstructed from the MVD data as a layered point-cloud. This 3D scene reconstruction step allows us to use…

Hybrid approach for fast occlusion processing in computer-generated hologram calculation

A hybrid approach for fast occlusion processing in computer generated hologram calculation is studied in this paper. The proposed method is based on the combination of two commonly used approaches, which complement one another: the point-source and wave-field approaches. By using these two approaches together, the proposed method thus takes advantages from both of them. In this method, the 3D…

Efficient rate control strategies for scalable video coding

High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC/H.265) is the latest video coding standard, finalized in Janua1y 2013 as the successor of Advanced Video Coding (AVC/H.264). Its scalable extension, called SHVC was released in October 2014 and enables spatial, bitdepth, color-gamut (CGS) and even standard scalability. SHVC is a good candidate for introducing new services thanks to backward compatibility…
