Abstract:
Multiview systems attract attention, because they make free viewpoint television (FTV), 3-D recognition, face certification security systems, etc. possible. The development of such applications is difficult. Another difficulty related to multiview systems is the capture of video. This difficulty is common among users, and the development of an easier process is desired. The reason for this difficulty is the lack of functions in the current video cameras used in multiview systems. These cameras usually have a synchronizer in addition to general camera functions, such as auto-gain control and white balance for single camera use [Wilburn et al. 2005; Fujii et al. 2006]. However, multiview systems require cameras with more functions, e.g., auto-gain control and white balance that considers the other cameras’ conditions. We have designed a camera that is equipped with some semi-automatic functions for multiview systems. Multiview systems with our developed video camera will be able to easily capture clear scenes.
