When multiple features are presented in the image the computational models for stereopsis select the most activated matches through the excitatory and inhibitory interactions among all possible matches. Using the random-dot stereogram with two surfaces. we investigate whether human binocular mechanism selects the most activated matches. The dots consisting a surface lying in a fixation plane were selected randomly while each of the dots consisting the other surface was paired with each of the original dots in the following manner. After finding the position of each dots in the original random pattern we placed an additional dot to the left and to the right of the original position in each of the left and right image of a stereogram respectively. The luminance of additional dots was varied while that of the original random dots was fixed so that the hypothetical matches presumably could be activated differently. Across the luminance condition the depth of each surface was measured to examine whether matches to be selected were changed depending on the activation level of possible matches. When the luminance of two patterns was within 30% of one another observers perceived an opaque surface. Beyond this value two transparent surfaces were seen with the magnitude of perceived depth varying with relative luminance of two patterns. When original pattern was brighter one additional surface was perceived at the depth corresponding to the disparity of original pattern. When original dot was dimmer. however the depth of an additional surface corresponded to the disparity of newly introduced pattern. These results suggest that there are dynamic interactions within the matching process whereby highly activated matches inhibit weaker one.

The effort of this paper is to develop a methodology of computer aided design and manufacture of spatial cams. The integrated CAD/CAM systems for spatial cams are developed to enable manufacturer to design and machine them readily. The contour of spatial cams can be obtained by applying envelope theory to the cam/follower motion. The mathematical cam contour is evaluated at some increment to generate the numerical data for the CNC programming. Incremental generation of points along a cam contour can be accomplished in consideration with the specified tolerance. The computerized procedure is described in detail with accompanying examples.

입체영상을 관측할 때 눈의 피로를 최소화할 수 있는 자연스러운 입체영상을 얻기 위해서는 양안식 카메라의 주시각을 제어하여야 한다. 움직이는 물체에 대한 양안식 카메라의 주시각 제어를 위해 획득 영상의 edge 정보를 이용한 주시각 제어에 대하여 연구하였다. 양안식 입체 카메라로 획득한 좌.우 영상에서 edge정보를 추출하고, 이를 이용하여 양안시차를 구하고 주시각 제어에 이용함으로써 영상의 변화와 관계없이 양안시차를 항상 일정하게 유지할 수 있도륵 하였다. 본 논문에서는 간단한 연산만을 사용함으로써 응답속도가 빠르고, 하드웨어 구성도 매우 간단해 지도록 하였다. 또한 영상의 특성에 맞는 알고리즘을 사용할 수 있도록 2 mode 동작 시스템으로 구성하여 오차를 최대한 줄이며 움직이는 물체에 대한 연속적인 주시각 제어를 할 수 있도록 구현하였다.

21세기에 새로운 분야로 대두되고 있는 가상현실은 많은 사람들의 흥미를 끌고 있다. 상상 속에서나 가능하던 일들을 현실감과 입체감을 통해 실제처럼 느낄 수 있게 해준다는 것이 가상현실의 가장 큰 매력일 것이다. 가상현실을 요하는 멀티미디어 기기들의 활발한 시장진출로 3D 효과를 가진 오디오/비디오의 하드웨어 구현이 불가피하다. 본 연구에서는 휴대용 기기들에서 실시간 3D 입체음향 효과를 얻을 수 있도록 하드웨어를 구성하였다. 기존의 입체음향 기술에서 사용되는 콘볼루션 방법은 계산량이 많기 때문에 실시간 구현이 어렵다. 그러나 제안된 방식은 FFT를 사용하여 주파수 영역에서 처리함으로써 계산량을 줄여 하나의 프로세서로도 실시간 처리가 가능하도록 하였다. 저가/저전력/소형화조건을 요구하는 휴대용 기기에서 3D 입체 음향 효과를 얻을 수 있는 것이다. DSP는 TI(Texas Instruments)사의 16비트 고정소수점(fixed-point) 프로세서인 TMS320C5416을 사용한다. 구현된 3D 입체음향 칩은 입체음향을 필요로 하는 휴대용 MP3 Player, 가전용 오디오/비디오 등에 응용될 수 있다.

Digital cinema based on digital master distribution increases with stereoscopic film as the center. DCI specification V1.0 announced at 2004, it considerates stereoscopic film screening. And now, the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers is establishing a task force to define the standards of a stereoscopic contents viewed in the home. Today, most Hollywood commercial stereoscopic film features animation using computer graphic. However, considering film making characteristic, stereoscopic digital cinema is required shooting in real world and editing, screening. This paper presents possibility of stereoscopic examination at NLE in the stereoscopic workflow. And we will propose new stereoscopic digital cinema workflow to apply the stereoscopic examination. Based on experimental results, the 3D ready television using 120Hz has some obstacles for contents editing, but most domestic stereoscopic monitor using circular polarization is possible for successful editing.

Recently, there has been much interest in realistic broadcasting that is a new field following HDTV and 3DTV. In general. the realistic broadcasting is composed of diverse components such as aquisition, authoring, compression, transmission and display, posing many challenging tasks. It is necessary that the types of realistic contents need to be defined prior to the development of realistic broadcasting systems. Based upon them, other components need to be designed and developed. In this paper, we propose some realistic contents suitable to the realistic broadcasting as well as techniques of generating them. Our proposed contents consist of stereoscopic multiview sequences, object-based stereoscopic images, depth map-based image compositing and the composition of stereoscopic real and graphics images. Content generation techniques and their associated software modules are presented with realistic images produced from our experiments. Those contents are produced to deliver stereoscopic perception, immersion and realism to the users as shown in our experimental results.

In this paper, we propose a optical property correction technique for a low-cost heterogeneous stereoscopic camera. Three main optical properties of a stereoscopic camera are zoom, focus, and DOF(depth of field). The difference or mis-match of these properties between two stereoscopic videos are the main causes of the visual fatigue to human eyes. The proposed correction technique reduces the difference of the optical properties between the stereoscopic videos and produces high-quality stereoscopic videos. To correct the zoom difference, a LUT(look-up table) is established to match the zoom ratio between the stereoscopic videos. To correct the DOF difference, the magnitude of image edge is measured and the lens iris is changed to control the DOF of the camera. A vertical-type stereoscopic rig is developed for the experiments of the optical property correction. Based on the experimental results, we find that a low-cost heterogeneous stereoscopic camera can be implemented, which can yield low visual fatigue to human eyes.

This study aims to develop a stereoscopic image authoring tool to effectively produce e-Book content that enhances user's sense of immersion in 3D environments. The proposed authoring tool consists of three core systems; 3D object editing, stereoscopic image, and image media production systems. First, the object editing system arranges and produces diverse objects that constitute virtual 3D spaces to fit the purpose of the content. In this case, commercial graphic authoring tools are utilized to design efficient data structures that can include produced external models. In addition, the material and textures of objects are made to be revisable and editable into the form wanted by the user. Thereafter, a stereoscopic image system will be implemented to produce the generated virtual scenes into stereoscopic images. This study uses the Anaglyph method so that the user can implement and use stereoscopic image scenes more easily. This method include functions to change the color of stereo cameras and control depth scaling. Finally, an image media production system will be implemented that will enable producing the produced stereoscopic images into single images or videos so that they can be effectively utilized in e-Book content.
