Introduction to 3D imaging Lecture
3D images are an integral part of scientific imaging, used, e.g., in:
-Biomedical imaging (e.g., CT MRI scans)
-3D microscopy
-Geophysical Prospecting.
Furthermore, special types of 3D imaging, notably stereo, are routinely used in 3D cinema and 3DTV.
This lecture overviews Introduction to 3D imaging that has many applications in medical imaging, scientific imaging, microscopy and computer vision. It covers the following topics in detail: Volumetric images, 3D points clouds, 3D surfaces, Medical image acquisition, 3D Image and Video Quality, 3D Data Processing, 3D Image and Shape Compression, 3D Video Coding And Broadcasting, 3D Image and Video Analysis, Image/volume registration, Image Rendering and View Synthesis, 3D Video Content Description, 3D Display Technologies.
