  • 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.

    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.

  • 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.

  • A Comparative Study of 3D Endoscopic Tele-Operation Techniques
    Advances in Computational Sciences and Technology ISSN 0973-6107 Volume 10, Number 4 (2017) pp. 645-656 © Research India Publications http://www.ripublication.com A Comparative Study of 3D Endoscopic Tele-operation Techniques Adheed Palliyali Department of Computer Science, Christ University Bangalore, India P.Beaulah Soundarabai Associate Professor, Department of Computer Science, Christ University, Bangalore, India Abstract Augmented reality is a technology which uses both real and virtual environments and club them together to form a single view. 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.

  • 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).

  • Distortion of Color Images on Flat Computer Screen Due to Chromostereopsis
    European Scientific Journal May 2014 /SPECIAL/ edition ISSN: 1857 – 7881 (Print) e - ISSN 1857- 7431 DISTORTION OF COLOR IMAGES ON FLAT COMPUTER SCREEN DUE TO CHROMOSTEREOPSIS Maris Ozolinsh Kristine Muizniece Gunta Krumina University of Latvia, Kengaraga Str., Riga, Latvia Abstract Illusory depth sense observing colour planar image such as images presented on computer screen is studied. The effect is binocular and is based on human stereovision, i.e., stereopsis. The colour difference threshold needed to induce the depth sense is determined. The effect polarity reversal – the source image red plane in front of blue plane is observed by partial covering of eye pupils medially or laterally. It is explain by the changes of eye point spread function taking into account coloured ray source and longitudinal chromatic eye aberrations. Image lightness affects the inducing of colour stereopsis due to changes of eye pupil size. Illusory depth sense is essential when designing colour graphical output on computer screen. Keywords: Eye, chromatic aberrations, Stiles-Crowford effect, stereovision, binocular disparity, chromostereopsis, design of digital information for colour displays Introduction Ability of human vision is amazing in spite the fact that optics of human eye is distinctly non-perfect. Human brain due to prolonged experience during extended evolution process has been adapted to non-ideality of his visual system. Various neural pathways of visual inputs correct our visual perception and do that in the most economic manner. During last decades when life changed relatively suddenly conditions and habits, many problems appear to visual perception. This is partly due to the fact that nowadays persons spend long hours looking at colourful however flat visual stimulus.
