Eric Chen, Live Picture
Abstract:
The use of digital videos shouldn't be confined in increasing the quality
and resolution of videos but also in offering information that can't be
delivered with the traditional analog media. In particular, spatial information,
such as panoramas of a location, can be embedded and synchronized with
temporal information to augment video playback experiences. The talk will
discuss the creation and presentation of different types of spatial informatoin
and its links to digital videos
