GlobalSIP 2015

The IEEE Global Conference on Signal and Information Processing (GlobalSIP) is a flagship conference of the IEEE Signal Processing Society. GlobalSIP'15 will be held in Orlando, Florida, USA, December 14-16, 2015. The conference will focus on signal and information processing with an emphasis on up-and-coming signal processing themes. The conference will feature world-class speakers, tutorials, exhibits, and sessions consisting of poster or oral presentations. Outstanding papers will be selected for Best Paper Awards or Best Student Paper Awards; a paper is eligible for a best student paper award if the first author of the paper is a student. IEEE Signal Processing Society and National Science Foundation will provide travel grants to eligible students.

Fast Depth Estimation Using Non-iterative Local Optimization for Super Multi-view Images

A fast and high-quality depth estimation algorithm was proposed. Proposed algorithm accelerated depth estimation speed by 68-116 times faster than a Graph-Cuts algorithm. Estimated depth map quality is +0.3 to -1.0dB higher or lower than Graph-Cuts algorithm for super multi-view image synthesis. Depth estimation time is determined by the image size and number of depth layers, which is useful for implementation.
