Encoding 3D video by using APOM

In this paper, we propose a new approach for encoding 3D video in virtual reality by using the active/passive optical mechanism (APOM). This mechanism which is based on a field-sequential standard for encoding the 3D-video format collaborates with only a single CCD camera. The core of this research is to substitute the double camera geometry with a single camera geometry collaborating with APOM. In this way, not only does the system perform in real time, but also it reduces the geometrical complexities and signal streams of 3D video when compared with the double camera technique.
