3D stereoscopy video production: Z-depth extraction and optimized rendering using foundry nuke

Abstract

This paper proposed an effective and efficient 3D stereo Video production methodology for Stereo conversion of any image or video using the 3D compositing tool Foundry Nuke. For efficient S3D conversion, there are several pipelines uses by video production engineer into the industry. There are several technical issues during the 3D stereo production like spilling, reflection, translucency, occlusion, flickering and noise problems as well due to imperfect calibration. This paper presents a theoretical explanation of the principles of stereo vision systems, followed by a quick review of the state of the art. The research paper concludes with validating the assumption of 3D stereoscopy video conversion with film case studies to execute high-end 3d stereo video production quality with roto-based depth map extraction with optimized render conversion methodology.
