Panasonic’s Stereoscopic 3D Technologies, Standardization and Business Strategy

Masayuki KOZUKA, Panasonic Corporation

At the beginning, I will explain the current Stereoscopic 3D related business situation and our perceptions of the future S3D market trends. Second, I will explain the history of Panasonic's R&D activities in Hollywood. We have been working with Hollywood community more than 18 years and developed several key technologies, such as DVD Video, MPEG-4 AVC HP and Blu-ray with Hollywood studios. In 2007, we started collaboration with AVATAR to accelerate Panasonic's Full HD 3D Technologies and product development. I will touch upon our S3D related standardization activities, such as Blu-ray 3D, HDMI 1.4a and Active Shutter 3D glasses (Full HD 3D Glasses Initiative). As for Blu-ray 3D format creation, the collaboration with Hollywood studios is key factor of success. By using Panasonic Hollywood Lab, we provided the most important key technologies for this format, such as MVC (Multi View Codec) for Blu-ray 3D. Third, I will explain Panasonic's S3D related consumer and professional product line. I will focus on two key products, Consumer 3DTV and Professional 3D Video cameras. Lastly, I will explain our S3D content creation support activities, such as activities of the 3D Innovation Center and the International 3D Society. Especially, I will introduce activities by Asia Committee of the International 3D Society and its collaboration with Japanese Animation studios.

MASAYUKI KOZUKA is General Manager of Media & Content Alliance Office of Corporate R&D sector at Panasonic Corporation. After graduated from Keio University with a Master Degree of Administration Engineering in 1984, he joined Corporate R&D Sector at Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd. (current Panasonic Corporation). He was engaged in developing several Optical disc and Multimedia related systems, such as optical disc document storage system and High Definition AV workstation. While in service to the first Director of Panasonic Hollywood Laboratory from 2001-2005, he was engaged in designing and diffusing Blu-ray and MPEG-4 AVC High profile working with Hollywood studios. Since 2006, he has been Co-chairperson of Board of Director in Blu-ray Disc Association as representative of Panasonic to contribute to penetration of Blu-ray disc. He has been leading several international standardization activities for DVD Video, SD memory card, Blu-ray, Blu-ray 3D, and 3D active glasses. Accordingly, he invented more than 100 of US patents about DVD, SD card, Blu-ray, MPEG, and 3D. In November 2011, he received an award “The Encouragement Prize of Invention of Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology” for his invention in 3D.

SD&A Keynote Presentation II Tues. 9:30 - 10:30 am

The past, present, and future of YouTube3D

Pete Bradshaw and Debargha Mukherjee,
YouTube, Google, Inc.

YouTube has always been at the forefront of new technologies, including 3D. Drawing inspiration from a 20% project, the first support for upload of stereoscopic 3D content was released in YouTube in July 2009. The YouTube flash player was correspondingly engineered to display such content as anaglyphs. With the advent of autostereoscopic displays in small form factor for mobile phones, 3D support on YouTube was soon enhanced to support ingestion and transmittal of Frame Packing Arrangement information in the backend, thus enabling seamless upload from compliant 3D cameras and smartphones as well as seamless playback of the transcoded videos in 3D on compliant 3D displays and smartphones. Soon thereafter, support for viewing YouTube's 3D repository using Nvidia's 3D Vision active shutter kit was introduced based on the WebM 3D formats and the HTML5 <video> tag. Most recently, YouTube released a beta service to convert a regular monoscopic video into stereoscopic 3D on demand, in order to accelerate the growth of available 3D content for consumption. By leveraging the power of parallel video processing on Google's cloud infrastructure, a fairly sophisticated algorithm is used to derive a per-pixel depth map followed by depth-image based rendering of the requisite left and right views. This talk will take the audience on an informative journey through the details of various forms of 3D support on YouTube, which over the last two years has firmly established YouTube as the biggest repository of stereoscopic 3D video content in the world.

Pete Bradshaw received the B.Sc. degree in Computer Software Technology from Bath University in 1997. Since 2005 he has been with Google as a Software Engineer. Prior to that he was primarily involved in software development for the gaming industry. Specifically he was in Interval Media (formerly Interval Research), Palo Alto, USA, between 2000 and 2005; in Interactive Investor International, London UK, in 2000; in Psygnosis (a division of Sony Computer Entertainment), Camden UK between 1998 and 2000; in Alan Snow Designs, Bath UK, between 1996 and 1997; and in OPeNBooK Co. Ltd., Roppongi-ku, Tokyo, Japan between 1995 and 1996. Pete is currently in the YouTube Core watch team responsible for improving the overall YouTube viewing experience for users. He was the primary driver of the initial 3D support on YouTube, started as a 20% project.

Debargha Mukherjee received his B. Tech. degree from the Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur in E&ECE in 1993, and his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in ECE, from the University of California, Santa Barbara in 1995 and 1999 respectively. Between 1999 and 2010, he was with Hewlett Packard Laboratories in Palo Alto, USA, as a scientist conducting research on image and video compression and communication. Since 2010 he has been with YouTube, Google Inc., where as a backend video transcoding/processing specialist, he is in charge of incorporation of 3D backend support in YouTube including 3D conversion. Debargha's areas of interest include video and image coding, processing, and communication; signal processing and information theory. He has published more than 70 papers in leading international conferences and journals, and holds 18 US patents in these areas. He is a Senior Member of the IEEE. Between 2002 and 2004, he was actively involved in standardization of MPEG-21. In 2009, he served as the Technical co-chair of the Second International Conference on Immersive Telecommunications. He was the recipient of the IEEE student paper award at IEEE ICIP in Chicago, USA in 1998, and the co-recipient of the Top 10% paper award at IEEE MMSP workshop in Brazil in 2010.

Discussion Forum Wed. 4:20 to 5:20 pm

3D Moving Images: Will they become ubiquitous?
Advances in technology have enabled filmmakers to create a new stereoscopic cinema that has established itself with several dozen films in release each year that are shown on tens of thousands of theater screens all over the world. Millions of TV sets are now 3D capable and there promises to be an onslaught of eyewear-free single-user devices in the coming year or two. Will all films and video become stereoscopic, in the way that color became a standard modality? Our panel will discuss the technological, aesthetic, and business aspects of the question.

Panel Moderator:
Lenny Lipton,

Panel Members:
Bob Whitehill, Pixar Animation Studios
Ray Zone, The 3D Zone
Art Berman, Insight Media
Jon Peddie, Jon Peddie Research
