Dynamic hyperlinker for 3D content search and retrieval

Recently, 3D display technology, and content preparation and creation tools have been under vigorous development. Consequently, they are also widely adopted by home and professional users. 3D digital repositories are increasing and becoming available ubiquitously. However, there is not yet a single 3D content search and retrieval platform. In this paper, we propose and present the development of a novel approach for 3D content search and retrieval which is called Dynamic hyperlinker for 3D content search and retrieval. It advances 3D multimedia navigability and searchability by creating dynamic links for selectable and clickable objects in the scene while the 3D video clip is being replayed. The proposed system involves 3D video processing, such as detecting/tracking clickable objects, annotating objects, and metadata engineering. Such system attracts the attention from both home and professional users such as broadcasters and digital content providers. The experiment is conducted on Holoscopic 3D images “also known as integral images.
