Ramsin Khoshabeh(University of California, San Diego), “Revolutionizing Laparoscopy: Bringing Glasses-free Multiview 3D into the Operating Room”, Advisor: Prof. Truong Nguyen, 2012

Over the past several years, a dramatic increase in attention has been paid to 3D media, particularly in the movie industry. Due to the lack of previous algorithmic advancement and the absence of unobtrusive technology, however, three-dimensional visualization has failed to penetrate the operating room until now. In this thesis, the author presents a system to deliver glasses-free 3D visualization of laparoscopic surgeries to the operating room via multiview autostereoscopic displays.

The author begans by developing robust stereo-to-multiview content generation, then introduced a reliable disparity estimation technique that enabled the synthesis of the virtual views. In addition, the author enforced spatio-temporal consistency in disparity estimates to provide a superior 3D experience for surgeons and operating room staff. Finally, the entire system on graphics hardware in order to achieve real-time operability was implemented.
