Riding on the success of 3D cinema blockbusters and advances in stereoscopic display technology, 3D video applications have gathered momentum in recent years. 3D-TV System with Depth-Image-Based Rendering: Architectures, Techniques and Challenges surveys depth-image-based 3D-TV systems, which are expected to be put into applications in the near future. Depth-image-based rendering (DIBR) significantly enhances the 3D visual experience compared to stereoscopic systems currently in use. DIBR techniques make it possible to generate additional viewpoints using 3D warping techniques to adjust the perceived depth of stereoscopic videos and provide for auto-stereoscopic displays that do not require glasses for viewing the 3D image. The material includes a technical review and literature survey of components and complete systems, solutions for technical issues, and implementation of prototypes. The book is organized into four sections: System Overview, Content Generation, Data Compression and Transmission, and 3D Visualization and Quality Assessment. This book will benefit researchers, developers, engineers, and innovators, as well as advanced undergraduate and graduate students working in relevant areas.

2013 | 127 Pages | ISBN: 981402189X | PDF | 5 MB
3D technology is not new; research on 3D started back in early 1960s. But unlike in previous times, 3D technology has now rapidly entered our daily life from cinema to office to home. Using 3D for education is a new yet challenging task. This book will present several innovative efforts using 3D for immersive and interactive learning covering a wide spectrum of education including gifted program, normal (technical) stream, and special needs education. The book will also share experience on curriculum-based 3D learning in classroom setting and co-curriculum-based 3D student research projects. The book is organized as follows. Chapter 1 introduces the fundamentals of 3D educational technology and their applications in immersive and interactive learning. Chapter 2 discusses the use of virtual reality in teaching and learning of Molecular Biology. Chapter 3 presents the daVinci Lab @ River Valley High School. Chapter 4 describes the 3D education development process. Chapter 5 studies the adaption 3D system for learning gains in lower secondary normal (technical) stream. Chapter 6 investigates the effects of virtual reality technology on spatial visualization skills. Chapter 7 showcases a sabbatical program for students to use 3D for Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) learning. Chapter 8 shares the use of 3D virtual pink dolphin to assist special education. The foreword of this book is written by Dr Cheah Horn Mun, Director, Education Technology Division, Ministry of Education, Singapore.

3D Image Reconstruction for CT and PET (Focus Series in Medical Physics and Biomedical Engineering)


Free Download 3D Image Reconstruction for CT and PET (Focus Series in Medical Physics and Biomedical Engineering) by Daniele Panetta, Niccolo Camarlinghi
English | April 29, 2022 | ISBN: 0367539810 | 134 pages | EPUB | 6.05 Mb
This is a practical guide to tomographic image reconstruction with projection data, with strong focus on Computed Tomography (CT) and Positron Emission Tomography (PET). Classic methods such as FBP, ART, SIRT, MLEM and OSEM are presented with modern and compact notation, with the main goal of guiding the reader from the comprehension of the mathematical background through a fast-route to real practice and computer implementation of the algorithms. Accompanied by example data sets, real ready-to-run Python toolsets and scripts and an overview the latest research in the field, this guide will be invaluable for graduate students and early-career researchers and scientists in medical physics and biomedical engineering who are beginners in the field of image reconstruction.A top-down guide from theory to practical implementation of PET and CT reconstruction methods, without sacrificing the rigor of mathematical backgroundAccompanied by Python source code snippets, suggested exercises, and supplementary ready-to-run examples for readers to download from the CRC Press websiteIdeal for those willing to move their first steps on the real practice of image reconstruction, with modern scientific programming language and toolsetsDaniele Panetta is a researcher at the Institute of Clinical Physiology of the Italian National Research Council (CNR-IFC) in Pisa. He earned his MSc degree in Physics in 2004 and specialisation diploma in Health Physics in 2008, both at the University of Pisa. From 2005 to 2007, he worked at the Department of Physics "E. Fermi" of the University of Pisa in the field of tomographic image reconstruction for small animal imaging micro-CT instrumentation. His current research at CNR-IFC has as its goal the identification of novel PET/CT imaging biomarkers for cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. In the field micro-CT imaging, his interests cover applications of three-dimensional morphometry of biosamples and scaffolds for regenerative medicine. He acts as reviewer for scientific journals in the field of Medical Imaging: Physics in Medicine and Biology, Medical Physics, Physica Medica, and others. Since 2012, he is adjunct professor in Medical Physics at the University of Pisa.

3D-DruckRapid Prototyping Eine Zukunftstechnologie – kompakt erklart


Free Download 3D-Druck/Rapid Prototyping: Eine Zukunftstechnologie – kompakt erklart By Petra Fastermann (auth.)
2012 | 179 Pages | ISBN: 3642292240 | PDF | 10 MB
Eigene dreidimensionale Objekte entwerfen und sich diese schnell und preisgünstig in Kunststoff, Metall oder Keramik herstellen zu lassen – solche Möglichkeiten wären vor wenigen Jahren noch kaum vorstellbar gewesen. Inzwischen hat jeder, der in einem CAD-Programm ein Volumenmodell zeichnen kann, die Möglichkeit, sich bei einem Dienstleister für 3D-Druck zu einem vertretbaren Preis seine selbst entwickelten Objekte ausdrucken zu lassen. 3D-Druck ist eine Zukunftstechnik, die immer mehr zur Verwirklichung von kreativen Ideen genutzt wird. Selbst die Maschinen für den 3D-Druck werden zusehends bürotauglicher und einfacher zu bedienen. Wer nicht gerade ein ganzes Fahrrad drucken möchte, kann inzwischen einen 3D-Drucker, der nicht viel mehr Platz einnimmt als ein gewöhnlicher Desktop-Printer, in seinem Büro betreiben. Die Grundidee dieses Buchs ist es, möglichst umfassend über diese spannende Zukunftstechnologie des 3D-Drucks/Rapid Prototyping zu informieren. Die Autorin möchte den Leser bei seinen eigenen Bestrebungen, für sich selbst das richtige CAD-Programm oder das geeignete Druckverfahren zu finden, mit Tipps und Hinweisen unterstützen.
