Abstract: Future 3D Television critically relies on mechanisms for automatically acquiring and visualizing high quality 3D content of both indoor and outdoor scenes. The envisioned goal is that a photo-realistic 3D real-time rendering from the actual and potentially arbitrary viewpoint of the beholder who is watching 3DTV becomes possible. Such scenes include movie sets in studios, e.g., for talk shows, TV series and blockbuster movies, but also outdoor scenes, e.g., buildings in a neighborhood for a car chase or cultural heritage sites for a documentary. The goal of 3D model acquisition is to provide the 3D background models where potential 3D actors can be embedded. We present both the 3D acquisition and semi-immersive 3D visualization to give an impression how a future 3D Television system could be like.
