Direct and inverse mathematical operators of stereo transformation (stereo operators) are studied in this paper. The stereo operators install a one-to-one correspondence between three dimensional coordinates of any point in space and the stereo coordinates which can be displayed on the screen under the given conditions, i.e. stereo vision base and the position of viewer. The stereo operators can be applied to the analyses of stereoscopic image distortions when the stereo vision base and the position of viewer are changed.

몰입도가 높은 가시화 기법 중 하나인 입체 영상은 차세대 미디어의 표준으로 최근 크게 주목 받고 있다. 그러나 일반 2차원 영상과는 달리 입체 영상은 3차원의 기하정보가 존재해야만 영상을 생성하는 것이 가능하다. 따라서 3차원의 기하정보가 존재하지 않는 2차원 영상을 이용한 입체 영상의 저작은 매우 어려운 문제이다. 본 논문은 영상 기반 모델링 기법을 활용하여 단안 영상으로부터 입체 영상을 생성하기 위한 입체 영상 저작 도구를 제안한다. 이를 위해 입력된 영상에서 사영 기하 정보를 사용하여 깊이 정보를 추론함으로써 3차원 환경을 구성하는 전역 깊이 정보 추출 방법과 영상 내에 존재하는 사물의 정확한 깊이 정보로 수정하기 위한 부분 깊이 정보 수정 방법을 제안한다. 또한, 추출한 깊이 정보로부터 몰입감이 높은 입체 영상의 시점을 결정하기 위한 대화식 입체 영상 미리 보기 기능을 제안한다. 본 논문에서 제안한 기법은 2차원 영상 저작 도구인 포토샵의 플러그인으로 구현함으로써 범용성을 높였다.

Stereoscopic 3D video can be transmitted by frame-compatible packing format to fulfill the compatibility requirement with the existing digital TV. Then, the reduced stereo image needs to be expanded to the original size at the receiver. This paper proposes an adaptive interpolation method for the discarded image lines. The horizontal line-based linear filter and NEDI6 filter are used selectively for the interpolation of each pixel. Experimental results show that the NEDI6 combined with the horizontal line-based linear filter yields better image quality than the bilinear method by around 0.6dB.

Object-based stereoscopic video coding scheme is presented in this paper. In conventional BMA based stereoscopic video coding for low bit rate transmission, image prediction errors such as block artifacts and mosquito phenomena are occurred. In order to reduce these errors, object based coding scheme is adopted. The proposed scheme consists of preprocessing, object extraction, and object update procedures. The preprocessing procedure extracts non-object regions having low reliability for motion and disparity estimation. This procedure prohibits extracting inaccurate objects. For the better prediction of left channel image, the disparity information is added to the object extraction. And the proposed algorithm can reduce the accumulated error through the object update procedure that detects newly emerging objects, merges objects that have the same object-disparity and object motion, and splits object which has large image prediction error. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithms improve the quality of the prediction without block artifacts and mosquito phenomena.

This paper describes research results that 2-D contents, which display in smart phone or tablet PC to be able to see the 3-D stereoscopic by use projection technique. For this research, we have construct four brown-glass into pyramid shape, project each of the four LCD monitors that output from the PC screen into of the four inverted pyramid-shaped mirror and display the 3-D image to the center of the mirror system. For the test, We use tablet PC and server PC(desktop PC) connected by wireless network, tablet PC select contents which is displayed in the server PC, and displayed selected contents into the 3-D image to the center of the mirror system. Through the test, we have showed that it is possible to display 3-D stereoscopic to the 2-D contents by use projection technique. Although, display image is depending on the observer's viewing angle.

Multi-view video system provides both realistic 3D feelings and free-view navigation. But it is hard to transmit too huge data, so we send only two or three view images and generate intermediate view image using depth information. In this paper, we propose high quality multi-view image generation method from stereoscopic images. Since the stereo matching method does not provide accurate disparity values for all the pixels, especially at the occlusion area, we propose an occlusion handling method using the background pixels at first. We also apply a joint bilateral filtering to enhance the disparity map at the object boundary since it can affect the quality of synthesized images significantly. Finally, we can generate virtual view images at intermediate view positions using confidence map to reduce bad pixel and hole's error. Experimental results show the proposed method performs better than the conventional method.

We present an eye tracking system using a low cost 3D CMOS imager for 3D displays that ensures a correct auto stereoscopic view of position- dependent stereoscopic 3D images. The tracker is capable of segmenting the foreground objects (viewer) from background objects using their relative distance from the camera. The tracker is a novel 3D CMOS Image Sensor based on Time of Flight (TOF) principle using innovating photon gating techniques. The basic feature incorporates real time depth imaging by capturing the shape of a light-pulse front as it is reflected from a three dimensional object. The basic architecture and main building blocks of a real time depth CMOS pixel are described. For this application, we use a stereoscopic type of display using parallax barrier elements that is described as well.

The suggested modular projection system can have flexible arrangements of screens. Modular and continuous arrangements of the display system enable us to modify the screen configuration easily, so that the system can be used in various applications. The image of each screen is calculated automatically by using window projection and the tracked position of the viewer. This system also uses the off-axis stereoscopic projection for the seamless stereoscopic edge blending of multiple connections of screens. The system has been successfully tested for the general navigation model and the CAU driving simulator with motion platform.

Stereoscopic (3D) content must be viewable in a variety of visual environments, from 3D theaters to 3D mobile displays. However, the depth sensations provided by 3D media are affected by the viewing conditions, such as screen size, viewing distance, and other factors. This user experience (UX) aspect makes it difficult to create multi-purpose 3D content. This paper describes two study cases in which the authors have focused on the UX and the multi-purposing of 3D content. The first case is an evaluation of 3D image quality on a mobile display. The second case is a trial development of a scalable 3D conversion process.

In a dual lens stereoscopic camera, a convergence point determines the stereopsis effects of a video. When a user zooms an object, a convergence point is fixed since it is not coupled with a zoom function. Due to the fixed convergence point, it is possible for a zoom to cause the excessive binocular disparity resulting in visual discomfort. In this paper, to solve this problem, we build the relational model including all phenomena possible to arise and propose the adjustment methods of a convergence point by the positions of a focus, an object and a convergence point. We also evaluate the experiments measuring a binocular disparity and the subjective test to investigate the visual comfort. The results show that one of the proposed methods produced more comfortable 3D images to viewers than the others.
