Talk Title: 3D plane labeling stereo matching with content aware adaptive windows

Talk abstract: We present an algorithm that exploits both the underlying 3D structure and image entropy to generate an adaptive matching window. The presented algorithm estimates real valued disparity maps by smartly exploring a 3D search space using a novel hypothesis generation approach that acts like a propagation scheduler. The proposed approach is among the top performing results when evaluated in the Middlebury, KITTI 2015 benchmarks.

Talk Title: Wide view zone Light Field display system

Talk abstract: We propose a method to enhance the viewing angle of light field displays by making use of light refraction. Although light field displays provide 3D parallax without wearing any glasses, the viewing angle where the effect can be produced by existing systems is rather limited. Using a micro-hole light field display system as a test-bed prototype, we show that we can increase the viewing angle to nearly 180 degrees while preventing ghosting effects that previous systems suffer from, by simply inserting a transparent panel with high refraction rate between the micro-hole barrier and the LCD monitor. We also present formulas to efficiently render the light field while taking into account light refraction. We then present about the requirements to accomplish smooth motion parallax and focus cues in a light field display system. Our idea is general and is applicable to other light field display systems such as micro-lens systems.
