Multi-Camera Acquisition and Placement Strategy for Displaying High-Resolution Images for Telepresence Systems

Life-size high-resolution telepresence systems, used for remote collaboration, face the problem of transmitting huge data from multiple viewpoints. We present different strategies focusing on efficient camera selection and acquisition method to discard part of image data for transmission as a preprocess to classical video compression schemes. At the the receiver site, part of the omitted data can be restored by means of super-resolution methods.
