초록

시청 피로 정도는 3차원 디스플레이의 성능을 평가할 수 있는 여러 요소 중 하나이다. 3차원 디스플레이의 시청 피로도를 개선하기 위한 많은 연구 중 시차 조정 방법은 3차원 영상의 시차를 적절한 분포를 가지도록 하는 간단한 방법으로써 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 시차 장벽 방식의 오토스테레오스코픽 3차원 디스플레이에서 시차 분포가 시청 피로에 미치는 영향을 기반으로 수평 영상 이동 방식을 이용하여 시차 조정하는 방법을 제안한다. 제안하는 방법은 Speeded-Up Robust Feature(SURF)를 이용하여 3차원 영상의 시차 분포를 구하고, 이전 연구를 통해 구한 시차 분포가 시청 피로에 미치는 영향을 토대로 시차 조정 정도를 결정하고 3차원 영상의 시차를 조정한다. 제안 방법의 성능을 평가하기 위하여, 우리는 실제 제작된 시차 장벽 방식의 오토스테레오스코픽 3차원 디스플레이를 사용하여 최적 시청 거리에서 주관 평가를 실시한다. 실험 결과는 다양한 시차 분포를 가지는 3차원 영상에 대하여 제안 방법을 적용 한 후 시청 피로 정도가 감소함을 보여준다.

Visual discomfort is a common problem in three-dimensional videos. Among the methods to overcome visual discomfort presented in current research, disparity adjustment methods provide little guidance in determining the condition for disparity control. We propose a diaprity adjustment based on the characteristics of disparity distribution on visual comfort, where the visual comfort level is used as the adjustment paramter, in parallax barrier type auto-stereoscopic 3D display. In this paper, we use the horizontal image shift method for disparity adjustment to enhance visual comfort. The speeded-up robust feature is used to estimate the disparity distribution of 3D sequences, and the required amount for disparity control is chosen based on the pre-defined characteristics of disparity distribution on visual comfort. To evaluate the performance of the proposed method, we used a 3D equipment. Subjective tests were conducted at the fixed optimal viewing distance. The results show that comfortable videos were generated based on the proposed disparity adjustment method.
