Signed: …Iman……………… Iman Abdel Hamid Date: …. 28 October 2012..… 2 Abstract Chromo-Stereoscopic Visualisation in Dynamic Marine Operations Iman Abdel Hamid Chromo-Stereoscopy (CS) is a simple and cost effective 3D system that can easily deliver geospatial information. CS has been used in several scientific data presentations, including remote sensing, physical modelling and hydrographic applications. In some of these applications the 3D effect was solely CS-related, while others integrated CS with other methods of implementing 3D. CS has been mainly used in static visualisation, but no dynamic applications were found. Also, the restricted use of colour was acknowledged as a limitation for CS suggesting its unsuitability for applications where colour conventions are significant. This research focuses on CS for marine applications and aims to: (i) investigate user’s perception to CS effect and its interaction with other depth cues, (ii) assess the acceptance of the potential users to the changes in conventional colouring systems, and (iii) evaluate the usability and practicality of CS as an additional visualisation system in dynamic marine applications. To address these, visual scenarios were developed and expert human participants were recruited and interviewed for the evaluation. CS was well perceived among the participants. The interaction between different depth cues has advantages of increasing the depth perception and comprehending the 3D nature of the surrounding environment. For instance, from a certain view angle where two objects block each other, CS enhances the interposition effect, that indicates which object is in the front and gives a qualitative estimation of the spatial separation between them. Shading increases the realism of surface objects, and provides information for their undulation. It also dilutes the colours used in CS and increases the range of colours perceived and enhances the effect perceived from CS. The advantage of using the colour coding system to indicate distance is a valuable and original outcome of this thesis. This coding improved the participants understanding of the behaviour of moving objects (whether vessels coming closer or drifting apart) and enabled users to locate them in reference to the surrounding topography. Such knowledge is important to attain safer operations in a 3D environment. Accepting changes in colours in a visual presentation is linked to experience gained during interaction with the system, and the changes would be tolerated by the users in favour of improvements in situation awareness. Blind navigation and underwater operations are examples of where CS can be beneficial. 3 Table of Contents Copyright Statement

  • Spacespex™ Anaglyph—The Only Way to Bring 3Dtv to the Masses
    SPACESPEX™ ANAGLYPH—THE ONLY WAY TO BRING 3DTV TO THE MASSES By Michael Starks © M. Starks 2009 May be reproduced provided nothing is added, omitted or changed-- including this copyright notice. SpaceSpex™ is the name I applied to my versions of the orange/blue anaglyph technique in 1993. In fact the Gang Li/ColorCode and some models of SpaceSpex use amber or orange/brown rather than yellow, but they are on a continuum. Like all the bicolor anaglyph methods it is compatible with all video equipment and displays and I think it’s the best of the methods using inexpensive paper glasses with colored lenses. Until someone comes up with a way to put hundreds of millions of new 3D TV’s in homes which can use polarized glasses or LCD shutter glasses, anaglyph is going to be the only way for mass distribution of full color high quality 3D over cable, satellite, the web or on DVD. However the solution I have proposed for Set Top Boxes, PC’s, TV sets and DVD players for the last 20 years is to have user controls, so those with display hardware that permits polarized or shutter glasses or even autostereo viewing or who want 2D can make that choice from the single 3D video file. This is the method of the TDVision codec, Next3D, and of Peter Wimmer’s famous StereoScopic Player (a new version due end of 2009), (all of which should appear in hardware soon) and probably the best stereoplayer of all in Masuji Suto’s StereoMovie Maker, and is being incorporated in most well known software DVD and media players.

  • Virtual Reality and Visual Perception by Jared Bendis
    Virtual Reality and Visual Perception by Jared Bendis Introduction Goldstein (2002) defines perception as a “conscious sensory experience” (p. 6) and as scientists investigate how the human perceptual system works they also find themselves investigating how the human perceptual system doesn’t work and how that system can be fooled, exploited, and even circumvented. The pioneers in the ability to control the human perceptual system have been in the field of Virtual Realty. In Simulated and Virtual Realities – Elements of Perception, Carr (1995) defines Virtual Reality as “…the stimulation of human perceptual experience to create an impression of something which is not really there” (p. 5). Heilig (2001) refers to this form of “realism” as “experience” and in his 1955 article about “The Cinema of the Future” where he addresses the need to look carefully at perception and breaks down the precedence of perceptual attention as: Sight 70% Hearing 20% Smell 5% Touch 4% Taste 1% (p. 247) Not surprisingly sight is considered the most important of the senses as Leonardo da Vinci observed: “They eye deludes itself less than any of the other senses, because it sees by none other than the straight lines which compose a pyramid, the base of which is the object, and the lines conduct the object to the eye… But the ear is strongly subject to delusions about the location and distance of its objects because the images [of sound] do not reach it in straight lines, like those of the eye, but by tortuous and reflexive lines. … The sense of smells is even less able to locate the source of an odour.

    ChromoStereoscopic Rendering for Trichromatic Displays Le¨ıla Schemali1;2 Elmar Eisemann3 1Telecom ParisTech CNRS LTCI 2XtremViz 3Delft University of Technology Figure 1: ChromaDepth R glasses act like a prism that disperses incoming light and induces a differing depth perception for different light wavelengths. As most displays are limited to mixing three primaries (RGB), the depth effect can be significantly reduced, when using the usual mapping of depth to hue. Our red to white to blue mapping and shading cues achieve a significant improvement. Abstract The chromostereopsis phenomenom leads to a differing depth per- ception of different color hues, e.g., red is perceived slightly in front of blue. In chromostereoscopic rendering 2D images are produced that encode depth in color. While the natural chromostereopsis of our human visual system is rather low, it can be enhanced via ChromaDepth R glasses, which induce chromatic aberrations in one Figure 2: Chromostereopsis can be due to: (a) longitunal chro- eye by refracting light of different wavelengths differently, hereby matic aberration, focus of blue shifts forward with respect to red, offsetting the projected position slightly in one eye. Although, it or (b) transverse chromatic aberration, blue shifts further toward might seem natural to map depth linearly to hue, which was also the the nasal part of the retina than red. (c) Shift in position leads to a basis of previous solutions, we demonstrate that such a mapping re- depth impression. duces the stereoscopic effect when using standard trichromatic dis- plays or printing systems. We propose an algorithm, which enables an improved stereoscopic experience with reduced artifacts.

  • A Novel Walk-Through 3D Display
    A Novel Walk-through 3D Display Stephen DiVerdia, Ismo Rakkolainena & b, Tobias Höllerera, Alex Olwala & c a University of California at Santa Barbara, Santa Barbara, CA 93106, USA b FogScreen Inc., Tekniikantie 12, 02150 Espoo, Finland c Kungliga Tekniska Högskolan, 100 44 Stockholm, Sweden ABSTRACT We present a novel walk-through 3D display based on the patented FogScreen, an “immaterial” indoor 2D projection screen, which enables high-quality projected images in free space. We extend the basic 2D FogScreen setup in three ma- jor ways. First, we use head tracking to provide correct perspective rendering for a single user. Second, we add support for multiple types of stereoscopic imagery. Third, we present the front and back views of the graphics content on the two sides of the FogScreen, so that the viewer can cross the screen to see the content from the back. The result is a wall- sized, immaterial display that creates an engaging 3D visual. Keywords: Fog screen, display technology, walk-through, two-sided, 3D, stereoscopic, volumetric, tracking 1. INTRODUCTION Stereoscopic images have captivated a wide scientific, media and public interest for well over 100 years. The principle of stereoscopic images was invented by Wheatstone in 1838 [1]. The general public has been excited about 3D imagery since the 19th century – 3D movies and View-Master images in the 1950's, holograms in the 1960's, and 3D computer graphics and virtual reality today. Science fiction movies and books have also featured many 3D displays, including the popular Star Wars and Star Trek series. In addition to entertainment opportunities, 3D displays also have numerous ap- plications in scientific visualization, medical imaging, and telepresence.

    There are 500 Stories at 3D-Con: This is One of Them I would like to welcome you to 3D-Con, a combined convention for the ISU and NSA. This is my second convention that I have been chairman for and fourth Southern California one that I have attended. Incidentally the first convention I chaired was the first one that used the moniker 3D-Con as suggested by Eric Kurland. This event has been harder to plan due to the absence of two friends who were movers and shakers from the last convention, David Washburn and Ray Zone. Both passed before their time soon after the last convention. I thought about both often when planning for this convention. The old police procedural movie the Naked City starts with the quote “There are eight million stories in the naked city; this has been one of them.” The same can be said of our interest in 3D. Everyone usually has an interesting and per- sonal reason that they migrated into this unusual hobby. In Figure 1 My Dad and his sister on a keystone view 1932. a talk I did at the last convention I mentioned how I got inter- ested in 3D. I was visiting the Getty Museum in southern Cali- fornia where they had a sequential viewer with 3D Civil War stereoviews, which I found fascinating. My wife then bought me some cards and a Holmes viewer for my birthday. When my family learned that I had a stereo viewer they sent me the only surviving photographs from my fa- ther’s childhood which happened to be stereoviews tak- en in 1932 in Norwalk, Ohio by the Keystone View Com- pany.

  • Towards Quantifying Depth and Size Perception in Virtual
    Jannick P. Rolland Towards and Quantifying Depth William Gibson and Size Perception in Virtual Department of Computer Science, Environments CB3I75 University of North Carolina Chapel Hill, North Carolina 27599 Dan Ariely Department of Psychology, CB 3270 Abstract University of North Carolina Chapel Hill, North Carolina 27599 With the rapid advance of real-time computer graphics, head-mounted displays (HMDs) have become popular tools for 3D visualization. One of the most promising and chal- lenging future uses of HMDs, however, is in applications where virtual environments enhance rather than replace real environments. In such applications, a virtual ¡mage is superimposed on a real image. The unique problem raised by this superimposition is the difficulty that the human visual system may have in integrating information from these two environments. As a starting point to studying the problem of information integration in see-through environments, we investigate the quantification of depth and size perception of virtual objects relative to real objects in combined real and virtual environments. This starting point leads directly to the important issue of system calibra- tion, which must be completed before perceived depth and sizes are measured. Finally, preliminary experimental results on the perceived depth of spatially nonoverlapping real and virtual objects are presented. I Introduction Head-mounted displays (HMDs) have become popular tools for 3D visu- alization following the rapid advance of real-time computer graphics. They pro- vide 3D information to the user by presenting stereoscopic images to his eyes, similar to a simple slide stereoscope. The main difference is that the two images are scanned on two head-mounted miniature displays and can be updated in real time using fast computer graphics.

This is enabled with the help of supporting technical equipment or gadgets. This topic has its reach everywhere, majorly in the field of medicine, technology, education, entertainment and business. This paper focuses on the various techniques and models of 3 Dimensional Endoscopic Tele-operations and compares the majorly available imaging techniques used in 3D Endoscopic tele-operations. Keywords: Aesculap, Einstein Vision, cool light, sterile drape. I. INTRODUCTION In the Earlier years, surgeries were performed with great difficulty, by surgical incision of the patient’s target region with loss of excess blood and concluded with stitches. [1] After the surgery, normally the patients are advised for a bed rest along with medication for a longp er eriod of time as blood lose used to be more and surgical cuts are wider and deeper. In most cases, the patients end up with adverse side effects including somnolence and post-operative pain. The most difficult situation is when the scar marks are left behind after surgery. With the entry of Endoscopic Tele-operation, most of the problems related to post-operative pains have been taken care; including sutures, stitches and staples.

    3D television - Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3D_television From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 3D television (3DTV) is television that conveys depth perception to the viewer by employing techniques such as stereoscopic display, multi-view display, 2D-plus-depth, or any other form of 3D display. Most modern 3D television sets use an active shutter 3D system or a polarized 3D system, and some are autostereoscopic without the need of glasses. According to DisplaySearch, 3D televisions shipments totaled 41.45 million units in 2012, compared with 24.14 in 2011 and 2.26 in 2010.[1] As of late 2013, the number of 3D TV viewers An example of three-dimensional television. started to decline.[2][3][4][5][6] 1 History 2 Technologies 2.1 Displaying technologies 2.2 Producing technologies 2.3 3D production 3TV sets 3.1 3D-ready TV sets 3.2 Full 3D TV sets 4 Standardization efforts 4.1 DVB 3D-TV standard 5 Broadcasts 5.1 3D Channels 5.2 List of 3D Channels 5.3 3D episodes and shows 5.3.1 1980s 5.3.2 1990s 5.3.3 2000s 5.3.4 2010s 6 World record 7 Health effects 8See also 9 References 10 Further reading The stereoscope was first invented by Sir Charles Wheatstone in 1838.[7][8] It showed that when two pictures 1 z 17 21. 11. 2016 22:13 3D television - Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3D_television are viewed stereoscopically, they are combined by the brain to produce 3D depth perception.

  • The Center-Of-Gravity Model of Chromostereopsis
    59 Research note The Center-of-gravity Model of Chromostereopsis １ ２ ３ KITAOKA Akiyoshi ）, KURIKI Ichiro ）, and ASHIDA Hiroshi ） We propose the center-of-gravity model to explain chromostereopsis. This new model assumes that we perceive each color position at the center of gravity of diffusely projected color light, and that these positions gives binocular disparities to generate binocular stereopsis. This model fits the paradoxical pieces of findings on chromostereopsis better than do the previous two models. Key words : chromostereopsis, longitudinal chromatic aberration, transverse chromatic aberration, center-of-gravity model Furthermore, it has been reported that the Introduction red-in-front-of-blue stereopsis reverses to the blue-in-front-of-red stereopsis at low Chromostereopsis is a binocular stereoscopic illumination (Kishto, 1965; Sundet, 1972, 1976; phenomenon that for many observers red Simonet and Campbell, 1990a). We have failed stimuli appear to be in front of blue ones even to detect this effect clearly in our casual if they are placed in the same frontoparallel setting. Inversely, we observed that surface (Figure 1). There is, however, a chromostereopsis tends to be enhanced under minority in which observers see blue in front dark adaptation, possibly depending on dilated of red (Hartridge, 1947; Howard and Rogers, pupils. 1995). Our preliminary surveys suggested that about 80% of observers see red in front The longitudinal chromatic aberration model of blue while about 20% see blue in front of red. There are two major models to explain Moreover, chromostereopsis is a function of chromostereopsis. One is the model based viewing distance, as suggested by Faubert upon the longitudinal chromatic aberration, (1994).
