61.1: Control of Subjective Depth in Stereoscopic Motion Pictures by Quantified Aerial Perspective

Abstract

Our previous study showed that the algorithm using quantified aerial perspective could control subjective depth in stereoscopic still pictures. Being integrated with a motion-estimation technique, this algorithm can be applied to motion pictures. In this paper, details of the algorithm and results of subjective assessment will be presented and discussed.
