  • 3D visual fatigue is known as one of the most important factors that interfere the commercial success of 3D contents. Vergence-accommodation conflict, which is known to occur when an observer watches an image containing binocular disparity presented on a 3D display, has been suggested as a major cause of 3D visual fatigue. This implies that any image incorporating binocular disparity might cause 3D visual fatigue. In order to reduce 3D visual fatigue, it would be necessary to consider indirect ways of reducing 3D visual fatigue as well as eliminating the direct causes of 3D visual fatigue. We have examined the effect of the variables that are expected to affect subjective 3D visual fatigue and these variables included the relative disparity contained in an image, viewing distance and viewing angle. We have also figured out the proper levels of the variables required to minimize 3D visual fatigue. The results indicate that observers began to report significant 3D visual fatigue when the crossed disparity contained in an image exceeded 7.22' and the vertical viewing angle was larger than 15 degree.

  • Recent development of 3D technologies made it possible that observers perceive 3D depth from two dimensional images. Despite this kind of technological development, when observers watch 3D display they experience 3D visual fatigue that they do not usually experience in real life. It is critical to measure visual fatigue in order to overcome the problem of 3D visual fatigue. The purpose of the present study was to develop a protocol to measure 3D visual fatigue based on an EEG signal and to examine its validity. The first experiment explored the possible ERP components that reflected visual fatigue in 2D and 3D conditions. The second experiment examined whether the feature of the component found in the first experiment was affected by the amount of binocular disparity. Both in Cz and Pz channels, the peak amplitude of P3 component was much lower in 3D rather than in 2D conditions, and it decreased as the amount of binocular disparity increased. The subjective 3D visual fatigue also increased with the amount of binocular disparity. These results imply that the peak amplitude of P3 component at Cz and Pz channels can be used as an index of 3D visual fatigue.

  • In this paper, we propose a new binocular stereo correspondence method by maximizing a fitness formulated by integrating two constraints of edge similarity and disparity smoothness simultaneously. The proposed stereopsis focusing to measure distances to leading vehicles on roads uses intensity gradients as matching attribute. In contrast to the previous work of area-based stereo matching, in which matching unit is a pixel, the matching unit of the proposed method becomes an area itself which is obtained by selecting a series of pixels enclosed by two pixels on the left and right boundaries of an object. This approach allows us to cope with real-time processing and to avoid window size selection problems arising from conventional area-based stereo.

  • This paper presents the active eye system for tracking a moving object in 3D space. A prototype system able to track a moving object is designed and implemented. The mechanical system ables the control of platform that consists of binocular camera and also the control of the vergence angle of each camera by step motor. Each camera has two degrees of freedom. The image features of the object are extracted from complicated environment by using zero disparity filtering(ZDF). From the cnetroid of the image features the gaze point on object is calculated and the vergence angle of each camera is controlled by step motor. The Proposed method is implemented on the prototype with robust and fast calculation time.

  • Accommodation error is one of the main factors that degrade the comfort while watching stereoscopic 3D images. We analyze the limit of the expressible 3D depth without an accommodation error using the human factor information and wave optical calculation under Fresnel approximation.

  • The problem of the conflict between eye convergence and accommodation can be induced at Stereoscopic or multi-view 3D display system using binocular disparity. A multi-focus 3D display system was developed, which can solve the problem. LEDs are used instead of galvano scanner and laser to avoid mechanical moving part at the 3D display system.

  • 기존의 양안식 스테레오 디스플레이 시스템은 장면 내에 매우 큰 변이를 가지는 물체가 존재 할 경우에 시각피로를 유발하여 오랜 시간동안 시청하기가 어렵게 된다. 본 논문에서는 변이 기반 비대칭 필터링 기법을 제안하고, 이 기법의 시각 피로도에 미치는 영향을 주관적 평가를 통하여 고찰하며, 아울러 교차변이(crossed disparity) 및 비교차변이(uncrossed disparity)에 따른 시각 피로도에 미치는 영향의 변화 또한 고찰하였다. 실험 결과, 변이기반 비대칭 필터링은 시각 피로의 측면에서는 비교차변이만 존재하는 영상의 경우에는 원래의 스테레오 영상에 비해 큰 영향이 없거나, 오히려 필터링 수준에 따라 오히려 시각적 피로가 심하게 되는 결과를 나타내었다. 또한 교차변이의 경우에는 시파피로가 필터링 수준을 높임에 따라 조금씩 시각피로가 개선되는 결과를 나타내었다. 따라서, 비대칭 필터링에 의한 시각피로의 개선효과는 스테레오 영상 내 변이 종류와 그 크기, 시청자의 주시전 등 여러 요인에 따라 달라질 수 있음을 앞 수 있었다.

  • This study was investigated whether the perceived depth was changed depending on the measurement methods. In the method of direct comparison, virtual object with one of the various binocular disparities was presented in the frontal space with LEDs which were used for depth estimation for a binocular stimulus, while in the method of indirect comparison, visual object was presented in the frontal space but the LEDs were placed rightward at the angle of 45 degree from the mid-sagittal line. In these experimental setup, the depth of binocular stimulus was directly matched that of LED in direct comparison condition. In indirect comparison condition, however, observer estimated the depth of binocular stimulus, turned one's head rightward to the array of LEDs and turned on the LED which was supposed to be the same depth as binocular stimulus. Additionally, it was investigated whether the perceived depth was different depending on observer's stereo acuity. The results showed that perceived depths measured in the direct comparison were more similar to the depth predicted from geometry than those in the indirect comparison, and that the perceived depths from observers with high stereo acuity were similar to the predicted depth from geometry those from observers with low stereo acuity. These results indicated that stereoscopic depths of the binocular stimuli would vivid and compelling when binocular stimuli was simultaneously presented with real objects in the same visual space, like a mixed reality.

  • This paper proposes high performance coprocessor architecture for real time dense disparity computation based on a phase-based binocular stereo matching technique called local weighted phase-correlation(LWPC). The algorithm combines the robustness of wavelet based phase difference methods and the basic control strategy of phase correlation methods, which consists of 4 stages. For parallel and efficient hardware implementation, the proposed architecture employs SIMD(Single Instruction Multiple Data Stream) architecture for each functional stage and all stages work on pipelined mode. Such that the newly devised pipelined linear array processor is optimized for the case of row-column image processing eliminating the need for transposed memory while preserving generality and high throughput. The proposed architecture is implemented with Xilinx HDL tool and the required hardware resources are calculated in terms of look up tables, flip flops, slices, and the amount of memory. The result shows the possibility that the proposed architecture can be integrated into one chip while maintaining the processing speed at video rate.
