An overview of 3D and free viewpoint video is given in this paper
with special focus on related standardization activities in MPEG.
Free viewpoint video allows the user to freely navigate within real
world visual scenes, as known from virtual worlds in computer
graphics. Examples are shown, highlighting standards conform
realization using MPEG-4. Then the principles of 3D video are
introduced providing the user with a 3D depth impression of the
observed scene. Example systems are described again focusing on
their realization based on MPEG-4. Finally multi-view video coding is
described as a key component for 3D and free viewpoint video
