Real time streaming of 3D video from embedded platforms to mobile devices

This study presents the stereo video capture and compression on embedded platforms in real time and streaming of the video to mobile devices over a wireless network, as an end-to-end system. The major components of the system are the state-of-the art compression standard H.264/AVC used with side-by-side representation of stereo video on the OMAP3530 SoC (SystemonChip) ARM processor and the mobile device with autostereoscopic display at the receiver side. With the presented architecture, 3D video communication between the mobile users connected to a wireless network is made possible. Furthermore, performance tests are conducted for the system and results are provided in this study.
