Study of the perception of 3D objects by the human visual system in order to develop methods for converting 2D images into stereoscopic images

摘要

A hypothesis is proposed and experimentally confirmed that explains the mechanism by which a viewer experiences the sensation of depth of space when he observes stereoscopic images and 3D scenes. It is shown that, when a 3D image is formed, the depth map, and then the stereoscopic image based on it, permits very large errors that do not cause appreciable distortions of the image thus formed. A method developed by the authors for converting 2D images into stereoscopic images is described. (C) 2015 Optical Society of America.
