Content-aware disparity adjustment for different stereo displays

摘要

In this paper, we present an effective disparity mapping method for binocular stereoscopic image. It is inspired by the observation that its displayed depth would change, when a stereoscopic image is displayed on different size screens. The phenomenon may bring an uncomfortable experience for viewers. To make a comfortable stereoscopic image for viewers, moreover to adapt a stereoscopic image to a target display screen, we propose a content-aware disparity adjustment method. Firstly, the disparity mapping is established to control and retarget the depth of a stereoscopic scene. Then, the relationship between the disparity editing and image content editing is established to guide the proposed warping model. At last, to implement the disparity mapping operator, we propose a content-aware stereoscopic mesh warping model, which can simultaneously avoid the salient region distortion and adjust disparity to a target range by establishing the relationship. Experimental results show that the proposed method can effectively adjust disparity of stereoscopic image, which not only avoids the salient region distortion and adjusts disparity to a target range.
