We studied highly realistic communication systems using a super multiview three-dimensional (3-D) video system. We propose the developed glasses-free 200-in. 3-D display using ∼200 high-definition (HD) projector units to reconstruct natural life-size 3-D moving objects, such as cars and humans. We also analyzed the optimal arrangement of the multiview camera system for the 3-D display. In the experiments, we developed a prototype super multiview 3-D camera system using compact HD video cameras with real-time convergence compensation circuits that correct the captured images via image processing optimized for the display. We also performed demonstration experiments using the developed 3-D display and camera system in a public area. As a result, we highlight several possibilities for actual applications of the glasses-free super multiview 3-D video system.
We have already developed glasses-free three-dimensional (3-D) displays using multi-projectors and a special diffuser
screen that results in a highly realistic communication system. The system can display 70-200 inch large-sized 3-D
images with full high-definition video image quality. The displayed 3-D images were, however, only computergenerated
graphics or still images of actual objects. In this work, we studied a 3-D video capturing method for our multiprojection
3-D display. We analyzed the optimal arrangement of cameras for the display, and the image quality as
influenced by calibration error. In the experiments, we developed a prototype multi-camera system using 30 highdefinition
video cameras. The captured images were corrected via image processing optimized for the display. We
successfully captured and displayed, for the first time, 3-D video of actual moving objects in our glasses-free 3-D video
system.
