Attention-Aware Disparity Control in interactive environments
Cataloged from PDF version of article.Our paper introduces a novel approach for controlling
stereo camera parameters in interactive 3D environments
in a way that specifically addresses the interplay
of binocular depth perception and saliency of scene contents.
Our proposed Dynamic Attention-Aware Disparity
Control (DADC) method produces depth-rich stereo rendering
that improves viewer comfort through joint optimization
of stereo parameters. While constructing the optimization
model, we consider the importance of scene elements, as
well as their distance to the camera and the locus of attention
on the display. Our method also optimizes the depth
effect of a given scene by considering the individual user’s
stereoscopic disparity range and comfortable viewing experience
by controlling accommodation/convergence conflict.
We validate our method in a formal user study that also reveals
the advantages, such as superior quality and practical
relevance, of considering our method.© Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2013
