3D video products are aggressively growing recently. One step further, the virtual-viewpoint (or free-viewpoint) video becomes the research focus. It is also an on-going standardization item in the international ITU/MPEG Standards. In addition to the movie special effects, one application of virtual-view system is the multi-view auto-stereoscopic (glasses free 3D) display. Typically, a densely arranged camera array is used to acquire input images and a virtual view picture is synthesized using the depth-image based rendering (DIBR) technique. Three essential components are needed for building a virtual-view system: depth estimation, data compression, and view synthesis. The ITU/MPEG standard committee is now in the process of defining the data compression (delivery format) of the virtual-view system. The committee also provides non-normative depth estimation and view synthesis tools. The entire set of standard specifications is to be done in two years. We will summarize the recent progress and technology trend on this subject.
