You will find below the seven general themes of the conference, each including a description and a list of topics. This gives you a vision of what the conference is about. Many of the topics shown exness should each give rise to a presentation, a session, and/or a panel in the final program.
The first three themes are common to most applications. The next three themes correspond to three domains we have identified, each regrouping application areas that are logically connected: (1) cinema and broadcast, (2) industry, engineering, design, science, medicine, defense, and R&D, (3) communication, education, and entertainment. The last theme exness nigeria looks at future, advanced technologies.
The main topics for this theme are:
This technical theme is mostly about the key hardware aspects of 3D stereo (3DS) that are common to many applications. It should thus be of interest to most people, whether they are in (1) cinema and broadcast, (2) industry, engineering, design, science, medicine, defense, and R&D, and/or (3) communication, education, and entertainment.
The theme covers the main conventional means for (1) acquiring (real) 3D stereo and multiview images, as well as range images (also called z-maps), and (2) for visualizing various kinds of 3D contents, on displays or screens, with or without glasses.

This technical theme is mostly about the key software and algorithms aspects of 3D stereo (3DS) that are common to many applications. It should thus be of interest to most people, whether they are in (1) cinema and broadcast, (2) industry, engineering, design, science, medicine, defense, and R&D, and/or (3) communication, education, and entertainment.
The theme covers computer-graphics techniques for producing synthetic 3D images, and many crucial and sophisticated image-processing and computer-vision techniques, such as (1) for indirectly recovering range images (also called z-maps) from video images, (2) for exploiting range images in a variety of ways (e.g. for creating new video images corresponding to an artificial viewpoint, and for controlling a 3D rig), (3) for converting 2D images to 3D (i.e. for “dimensionalizing” them), (4) for compressing 3D images, and (5) for recovering 3D human motion.
The main topics for this theme are:
If you are in cinema or broadcast, this is primarily for you! This is one of three domains we have defined, each regrouping application areas that are logically connected. Even if you work in other fields, we suggest you take a peek at this perhaps less-familiar domain to broaden your view, and possibly identify new opportunities.
The theme covers the artistic aspects of 3D movie making (which should be viewed as distinct from, and complementary to, the technical topic of stereography), as well as various other technical, business, and psychophysical aspects related to the production, transmission, and visualization of 3D content for home and movie theaters. This specialized theme builds on some of the topics discussed in the first three themes.

For most members of the general public, 3D is synonymous with 3D movies, and perhaps with the famous red & green glasses. Furthermore, few realize that 3D movies are just the tip of the iceberg of 3D. However, engineers and scientists have used 3D acquisition, processing, transmission, and visualization for a long time. Not surprisingly, 3D sensing has been the object of intensive R&D in the domain of defense for several decades. The laser radars developped in this domain in the mid 80's have led to more basic range cameras that are becoming commercially available. These 3D imaging sensors are becoming a hot topic in 3D movie making, industry, and entertainment. The notion of range image (or z-map) has taken about 30 years to reach these non-defense applications! Anyone designing an object in a computer, or dealing with terrain models and remote-sensing images, is delighted to be able to see these in 3D stereo (3DS). Remote-controlled and autonomous vehicles, whether on the Earth, the Moon, or Mars, avoid rolling into ditches by using 3D sensors to build awareness of the environment. Today, 3DS visualization is way underused for examining medical images – which are intrinsically 3D (as well as volumetric) – and for remote surgery, say using an endoscope. This specialized theme builds on some of the topics discussed in the first three themes.

The term “communication” refers both to telecommunication and to the presentation of information. In this last sense, communication also includes the use of lenticular, auto-stereoscopic packaging, say for cereal boxes! 3D can be used to great benefit for teaching and training, from engineering to medicine. Entertainment includes 3D video games. This specialized theme builds on some of the topics discussed in the first three themes.
The main topics for this theme are:
In some countries, 20/20 means perfect vision with each eye, and, presumably, perfect stereopsis! 2020 is also a date that is not so distant! So, what is the nec plus ultra of 3D imaging going to be nine years from now? Is digital video holography going to supplant everything else, as some people think, leading to some new, incredible business opportunities?
This theme covers exotic, near-true-3D imaging systems ... including the ones under development in the great secret of some 3D “skunk works.”
