Towards real-time 3D visualization with multiview RGB camera array.

A real-time 3D visualization (RT3DV) system using a multiview RGB camera array is presented. RT3DV can process multiple synchronized video streams to produce a stereo video of a dynamic scene from a chosen view angle. Its design objective is to facilitate 3D visualization at the video frame rate with good viewing quality.

Large-Field-of-View Visualization with Small Blind Spots Utilizing Tilted Micro-Camera Array for Laparoscopic Surgery.

Existing laparoscopic surgery systems use a single laparoscope to visualize the surgical area with a limited field of view (FoV), necessitating maneuvering the laparoscope to search a target region. In some cases, the laparoscope needs to be moved from one surgical port to another one to detect target organs. These maneuvers would cause longer surgical time and degrade the efficiency of operation.

Optimal Camera Pose and Placement Configuration for Maximum Field-of-View Video Stitching.

An optimal camera placement problem is investigated. The objective is to maximize the area of the field of view (FoV) of a stitched video obtained by stitching video streams from an array of cameras. The positions and poses of these cameras are restricted to a given set of selections.
