Abstract: A wearable display system including multiple cameras and a processor is disclosed. A greyscale camera and a color camera can be arranged to provide a central view field associated with both cameras and a peripheral view field associated with one of the two cameras. One or more of the two cameras may be a plenoptic camera. The wearable display system may acquire light field information using the at least one plenoptic camera and create a world model using the first light field information and first depth information stereoscopically determined from images acquired by the greyscale camera and the color camera. The wearable display system can track head pose using the at least one plenoptic camera and the world model. The wearable display system can track objects in the central view field and the peripheral view fields using the one or two plenoptic cameras, when the objects satisfy a depth criterion.

Abstract: The present invention discloses an image capture device and depth information calculation method thereof. The depth information calculation method includes: acquiring, a stereo camera module, an image information; and determining a re-projection mode according to a usage scenario, and transforming the image information to a depth information corresponding to the re-projection mode according to the re-projection mode. The re-projection mode is planar mode, cylinder mode or spherical mode, and the corresponding coordinate systems are planar coordinate system, cylinder coordinate system and spherical coordinate system respectively.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for capturing a light field geometry using a multi-view camera that may refine the light field geometry varying depending on light within images acquired from a plurality of cameras with different viewpoints, and may restore a three-dimensional (3D) image.

Abstract: Structured light imaging method and systems are described. An imaging method generates a stream of light pulses, converts the stream after reflection by a scene to charge, stores charge converted during the light pulses to a first storage element, and stores charge converted between light pulses to a second storage element. A structured light image system includes an illumination source that generates a stream of light pulses and an image sensor. The image sensor includes a photodiode, first and second storage elements, first and second switches, and a controller that synchronizes the image sensor to the illumination source and actuates the first and second switches to couple the first storage element to the photodiode to store charge converted during the light pulses and to couple the second storage element to the photodiode to store charge converted between the light pulses.

Abstract: An imaging apparatus includes: an imaging section converting image light impinging thereon through a lens device into an electrical imaging signal; an imaging process section processing the imaging signal output by the imaging section; an output section converting the imaging signal processed by the imaging process section into an image signal in a predetermined format and outputting the image signal; a terminal for synchronization for connection with another imaging apparatus; and an imaging control section controlling imaging at timing in synchronism with the other imaging apparatus and putting the lens device in the same state of control as the state of control of the other imaging apparatus when the communication with the other imaging apparatus can be performed through the terminal section for synchronization.

Abstract: Disclosed are a method and an apparatus for controlling a broadcasting network and a home network for a 4D broadcasting service. The method for controlling a broadcasting network for a 4D (four-dimension) broadcasting service according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention includes: encoding image data of a predetermined place photographed by multiple cameras; receiving realistic effect data from at least one sensor sensing state information of the predetermined place while the photographing is performed; synchronizing the realistic effect data and the image data with each other by considering an encoding time of the image data; generating a transport stream (TS) including the realistic effect data and the image data based on the synchronization; and transmitting the generated TS to a home network.

Abstract: Provided is an image display device including a high frame rate signal generating unit that increases a frame rate of an input video signal, a frame rate adjusting unit that adjusts a frame rate by synthesizing a black image at intervals of a predetermined frame on a high frame rate signal output from the high frame rate signal generating unit, and a display panel that displays a video based on a video signal output from the frame rate adjusting unit.
