Outline of Final Research Achievements

This project aimed at developing the next generation multi-band imaging technology, and applying the technology to universal visual media system useful for all people.
First, in the image acquisition stage, we developed several multi-band imaging systems suitable for various real scene environments including high-dynamic scene and omnidirectional scene. Second, in the image analysis stage, we developed a variety of algorithms to estimate scene illuminant, surface reflection properties, and polarization properties of objects. Third, in the image rendering stage, we constructed an experimental room with uniformly controlled illumination environments and developed image rendering algorithms taking account of human visual effects.
