Real-Time Stereoscopic Conversion with Adaptable Viewing Distance at Personal Stereoscopic Viewing Devices

This paper proposes the real-time stereoscopic conversion method with adaptable viewing distance by the viewer’s eye detection at personal stereoscopic viewing devices. The distance between a screen and viewer is often changed by moving a personal display or moving head position. It causes a visual discomfort and low quality stereoscopy. Our proposed method is divided into two parts; eye detection part to acquire viewer’s eye positions and stereoscopic generation part in real-time. In the first part, we can measure an interocular distance of a single viewer by the proposed eye detection method and also calculate the distance between a screen and a viewer by using the principle of stereoscopic generation. In the other part, we propose an efficient motion-based approach for conversion from 2D video to stereoscopic video. The disparity between left image and right image is adaptively adjusted by viewer’s interocular distance. Adaptation time for a 3D immersion during 3D stereoscopic...
