In this study, we investigated the effect of peripheral blur on binocular fusion to resolve binocular fusion failure which is one of the 3D visual fatigues in the perspective of human visual system. With stimulus having discrete disparity change, binocular fusion failure rate for target stimulus having crossed and uncrossed disparity decreased. And target stimulus having continuous disparity also required relatively larger binocular disparity when peripheral blur was presented with target stimulus rather than when peripheral blur was not presented. These results imply that peripheral blur facilitated binocular fusion in the situation of binocular disparity change, and suggest that considering the characteristics of human three-dimensional visual systems, manipulating 3D contents can improve visual discomfort caused by binocular displays at low costs.

Purpose: This is a comparative experimental study on the amount of phoria by the removal time of binocular fusion. In this study, three tests were used for phoria test like Howell test, Thorington test and developed 3D polarizing test. Methods: In this study, it was considered the removal time of binocular fusion for measuring phoria. The three methods were used for measuring quantity of phoria: Howell test, Thorington test and developed 3D Polarizing test. The measurements progressed quickly to avoid eye-strain. So we designed the test charts for marking 3D display modules and the apparatus inserted lenses, like Maddox lens and prism, which are compatible with three phoria tests. The phoria at the moment separation was measured when the binocular fusion was broken through the apparatus and the that at the stable separation was measured when activity of the separated two images like indicated box and figure on horizontal axis stopped. Results: There were statistically significant difference between quantity of phoria at moment separation and that at stable separation. Amount of phoria at moment separation was relatively larger than amount of that at stable separation. In result in exophoria, the quantity of phoria at moment separation was higher than that at stable separation, and in phoria measured by developed 3D polarizing test, it shows the similar results at two condition. Conclusions: For exophoria, the amount of phoria at moment separation of binocular fusion was relatively larger than that at stable separation. The amount of difference between phoria values at moment separation and that at stable separation was alike among three phoria tests. Usually in working, there is no distinction between moment separation and stable separation. But there were definitely the difference between two ways to separate binocular fusion. Therefore, it is need for writing on prescription test name for measuring phoria and condition of separation of binocular fusion.

최근 양안식 3D 디스플레이의 시청 안정성 문제가 대두됨에 따라, 어떠한 요인들이 시각피로와 시각적 불편함을 야기하는지 밝히는 연구의 필요성이 증가하고 있다. 시각적 불편함은 양안식 3D 영상에서 과도한 양안 시차, 양안 시차의 빠른 변화, 양안 불일치 등에 의해 야기될 수 있다. 그러나 시각적 불편함은 시각시스템의 복잡한 메커니즘에 의한 결과이므로 알려진 양안 시차 등의 요인 외에도 밝혀지지 않은 요인들이 더 존재할 수 있다. 본 논문은 기존 연구로부터 시각적 불편함과 관련 있을 것으로 추정되는 요인으로 시각자극의 너비와 시각적 불편함에 대한 민감도를 선택하였다. 이들의 영향을 밝히기 위한 실험으로서, 편안한 양안 시차 범위 내에서 시각자극의 너비와 시각적 불편함에 대한 민감도에 따라 양안 융합 시간이 어떻게 달라지는지를 관찰하였다. 실험 결과로부터 편안한 양안 시차 범위 내에서도 시각자극의 너비와 시각적 불편함에 대한 민감도에 따라 양안 융합 시간이 크게 달라짐을 확인할 수 있었다. 이러한 결과들은 시각자극의 너비가 주요한 시각적 불편함의 3D 콘텐츠 요인이 될 수 있음을 암시한다.

좌우 해상도가 차이나는 융합형 3DTV의 화질을 개선하기 위한 기법으로써 두 영상간의 양안시차 정보를 활용하는 조건부 대체 알고리즘이 제안된 바 있다. 본 논문에서는 양안시차 벡터의 정밀도가 조건부 대체 알고리즘에 미치는 영향을 살펴보기 위해 양안시차 벡터 추정에 사용되는 좌영상의 해상도에 따른 알고리즘의 성능을 비교한 실험결과를 제시하였다. 높은 해상도의 좌영상을 사용하여 양안시차 벡터의 정밀도가 높아질수록 확장된 우영상의 객관적 화질 및 합성된 3D영상의 자연스러운 입체감이 향상됨을 확인하였다.

In order to provide natural images with a specified depth through three-dimensional display system, the stereo images should be similar to those projected from real environment as much as possible. Even when two persons see an identical scene, the binocular Parallax between two images of an object varies as a function of one's inter-pupilary distance (IPD). In this study, we investigated whether individual differences, such as IPD and accommodative vergence, would affect the perception of three dimensional scene provided by stereo-images. Results showed that a person's IPD is correlated with the limit of screen and binocular parallax for single vision, and affects the perceived depth of an object on fixation. More specifically, with longer IPD the limit of screen and binocular parallax for single vision is decreased, and the perceived depth is reduced. These results suggest that the screen and binocular parallax of an object should be calibrated with regard to users IPD to provide natural stereo-images with a specified depth and to Prevent double vision.

ATSC-M/H based hybrid 3DTV, which is one of the service compatible 3DTV system, has considerable quality gap between the left and right views. And CRA(Conditional Replenishment Algorithm) has been proposed to deal with the issue of resolution mismatch and improve the visual quality. In CRA, the disparity vectors of stereoscopic images are estimated. The disparity compensated left view and simply enlarged right view are compared and conditionally selected for generating the enhanced right view. In order to implement CRA, a fast algorithm is strongly required because the disparity vectors need to be obtained at every layer and the complexity of CRA is quite high. In this paper, we adopted SDSP(Small Diamond Search Pattern) instead of full search and predicted the initial position of search pattern by examining the spatio-temporal correlation of disparity vectors and also suggested the SKIP mode to limit the number of processing units. The computer simulation showed that the proposed fast algorithm could greatly reduce the processing time while minimizing the quality degradation of reconstructed right view.

In this paper, a model of neural circuit was proposed, which abstracts the depth information in two images gotten from right and left retinas. The proposed neural circuit corresponds to binocular stereo vision based on psychologic and physiological knowledge, and we examine a restoration method of three-dimensional surface. In case of drawing a disparity based on characteristics of images, we can not abstract the depth information correctly if resemblant characteristics are repeated on the boundary region of an object. A binocular disparity is decided in a model of neural circuit by abstraction, synthesis, and correction of a disparity. And we propose a method which restores three-dimensional shape by correcting a depth information, and also restores a three-dimensional surface by mapping a left input image on the restored three-dimensional shape. And we confirmed that the computation time for disparity abstraction can be greatly reduced through the simulation.

In this paper it was proposed method that solve problems of method to segment region of zero disparity and algorithm that extract binocular disparity to estimate position of object by vergence movement of moving stereo cameras experimented to compare those. There was not change of density value almost in region that change of critcal value was not found almost in image, because a high critical value was set so that critical value may be kipt changelessly about all small regions in studied treatise so far. The corresponding points were extracted wrongly by the result. By because the characteristics of small region was evaluated by autocorrelation and the critical value was established that may be proportional to the autocorrelation value, it was confirmed that corresponding points are not extracted almost by mistake and binocular disparity could by extracted with high speed.

In this paper, we carried out quality assessment and analysis of stereoscopic 3D Television pictures according to ITU-R contribution and recommendation by rating scales using DSCQS (Double-Stimuli Continuous Quality Scale) method. The evaluation results show that overall quality and sharpness of stereoscopic pictures revealed almost no difference compared to cases of mono pictures as to natural outdoor scenes, graphic images, and indoor scenes (about 3.0 above ~ 4.0), but depth perception and sensation of reality of stereoscopic images exhibit better quality performance over mono images as indicated more than 4.0 out of 5.0 grade. Evaluation results should be considered as human factors such as disparity when shooting and/or editing 3DTV.

It is formed of 3D image stereopsis by the left right retina image's fusion and can be made 3D-Stereogram because of occuring the depth perception of binocular disparity. We made the 3D-stereogram of the object of shape a ball and the eyes by taking a photograph of the light source's position angle contrast of the binocular disparity's field angle. We examined that 3D-stereogram was to be the stereopsis.
