The 3D image warping equations for DIBR are introduced first. In our system the shift-sensor camera setup is used, and the 3D image warping equations are simplified to a formula which implies horizontal sensor parallax. Then, the geometry of 3D TV display system is analyzed, and the perceived depth is expressed as a function of horizontal screen parallax. Finally, the relationship between horizontal sensor parallax and horizontal screen parallax is given. Based on this relationship, a depth adjustment method which controls the amount of horizontal sensor parallax of stereoscopic images by changing the values of variables in camera space during the processing of DIBR is proposed. Subjective evaluations show that the proposed depth adjustment method can generate comfortable stereoscopic images with different perceived depths that people desire. Keywords: 3D TV; Depth Image Based Rendering; Depth Adjustment; 3D Image Warping; Visual Fatigue 1 Introduction With the success of 3D movie "Avatar", 3D TV has become more and more popular, and people desire a number of high-quality 3D contents to be produced. Currently, the most popular 3D contents ("Avatar" included) are acquired and transmitted with the conventional 3D video format, which is composed of two streams of video [1, 2]. However, even if the 3D contents represented by conventional 3D video format are filmed with high quality (e.g. high definition, precise control of the shooting conditions), they are not suitable for all people. This is because the naturalness and comfort of 3D content can be distorted when the viewing circumstances or the target display are changed, and furthermore, there is a difference in depth appreciation over different groups Project supported by the Fundamental Research Funds for the Central Universities (No. CDJZR ).

It is therefore important to provide the viewer with the ability to adjust the reproduction of depth to suit his/her own personal preferences [3]. Fortunately, the depth-image-based 3D video format, which consists of regular 2D color video and an accompanying depth-image sequence with the same spatial-temporal resolution, provides the ability to adjust the perceived depth for different people [1, 3, 4, 5]. The key to this advantage lies in the fact that this kind of 3D video uses so-called depth-image-based rendering (DIBR) techniques to generate stereoscopic images instead of providing two channels of left- and right-eye video directly [1, 3, 4]. A well-known problem in the 3D video is visual fatigue. Several studies have been carried out to avoid this trouble [3, 6, 7, 8]. Most of them reduce the visual fatigue by changing shooting conditions and viewing circumstances, which are not suitable for the newly depth-image-based 3D video format. Different from these traditional methods, we tried to introduce depth adjustment, which uses DIBR techniques for the newly developed format, to reduce visual fatigue. Two main processing steps are closely concerned with this topic: (1) stereo pair creation, which is completed in the camera space; (2) stereo image display, which is conducted in the viewer space. The remaining portions of this paper are organized as follow. In Section 2, we illustrate how stereo pairs are created using the DIBR techniques, and provide the simplified 3D image warping equations that imply the horizontal sensor parallax. Section 3 is devoted to investigating the geometry of 3D TV display system on which the generated images will be displayed, the nonlinear relationship between horizontal screen parallax and perceived depth is thoroughly discussed. By connecting horizontal sensor parallax with horizontal screen parallax, Section 4 provides a depth adjustment method, which can fulfill the function by only changing the values of variables in camera space during the processing of DIBR. Section 5 provides a discussion of experimental results. Conclusions can be found in Section 6. 2 Stereo Pair Creation Using DIBR As mentioned above, if a 3D TV system adapts the depth-image-based 3D video format, then DIBR is required to be performed at the receiver side so as to create stereo pairs. This section mainly discusses 3D image warping, which is the core step in DIBR [4, 9]. The procedure of 3D image warping can be illustrated by Fig. 1 (for simplicity, we only consider the commonly used shift-sensor camera setup). Assume I l is the reference image whose width size is W i (in pixels), point u l = [u l v l 1] T I l, and I r is the destination image with the same size that needs to be synthesized, point u r = [u r v r 1] T I r. Without loss of generality, we assume that the world coordinate system x w y w z w equals the camera coordinate system of the first camera (left camera). In order to generate both negative and positive parallaxes, sensor shift is introduced to the camera setup: images I l and I r are horizontally shifted h in opposite direction relative to their original positions respectively (h is measured in pixels, and h 0). Thus the equations of 3D image warping can be described as D c = u r u l = 2h f s x B z w, v l = v r, where f represents the focal length, and s x is the pixels per unit length (for example millimeter) along x-axis; z w equals the depth value of point u l ; D c is usually called horizontal sensor parallax; (1)

Note that B usually takes a value of 65 mm for capturing stereo videos, which equals the average human interpupillary distance. If I l is taken as the left view, the right view I r can be easily generated with Eq. (1). If D c = 0, then z w = f s x B/(2h), which just represents the ZPS (zero-parallax setting) plane. As f, s x and B are usually constants for a shift-sensor camera setup, the choice of ZPS plane is mainly determined by the setting of h. 3 Geometry of 3D TV Display System screen screen center W = [x i y i z i ] T Hs x l x r V screen parallax W s e l = [-t x/2 0 0] T o y z x e r = [t x/2 0 0] T t x Fig. 2: Geometry of 3D TV display system The geometry of 3D TV display system can be illustrated by Fig. 2, in which the world

4 4236 R. LIU et al. / Journal of Information & Computational Science 8: 16 (2011) coordinate system xyz is used for all objects in viewer space, and the unit length is millimeter (mm). Without loss of generality, we assume that the z-axis passes through the screen center, and the viewer s left eye is located at e l = [ t x /2 0 0] T, and right eye, at e r = [t x /2 0 0] T (t x > 0). Under this viewing condition, the origin o is located at the position of cyclopean eye. With reference to Fig. 2, the following variables are used in the derivation of geometric of 3D TV display system: W s : screen width; H s : screen height; V : viewing distance, i.e. the distance from the viewer s eyes to the screen of 3D TV; t x : the human interpupillary distance. Let W = [x i, y i, z i ] T denote a "virtual" point in viewer space, i.e. the point can only be stereoscopically viewed by the viewer when displayed on the screen. Note that due to the viewing condition shown in Fig. 2, the coordinate z i always satisfies z i > 0, for the viewer cannot see the objects behind him. If observing W through e l and e r, we will get stereo pairs x l = [x l y l z l ] T and x r = [x r y r z r ] T, which lie on the screen. From the geometry shown in Fig.2 we have d = D s V t x D s, (2) where d = z i V, D s = x r x l. d directly reflects the depth perception that the parallax brings to viewer s eyes. We call d the perceived depth, and D s is usually called horizontal screen parallax in contrast to horizontal sensor parallax. From Eq. (2) we know that, as variables V and t x are constants for the display configuration, d only varies with variable D s. The curve of Eq. (2), which is drawn with parameters shown in Table [1], is shown in Fig.3. The values of W s and H s are chosen exactly equal the size of a 59 inches screen, and the viewing distance V is set to 3H s, which is recommended by [7] d Ds Fig. 3: Plot of the horizontal screen parallax D s versus the perceived depth d Fig.3 illustrates a nonlinear relationship between D s and d. It can be seen that the curve becomes flatness when D s tends to W s, and gives a steep rise when D s tends to t x, which may lead to wrongly perceived depth. Only when D s locates near 0, the curve changes approximate

LIU et al. / Journal of Information & Computational Science 8: 16 (2011) Table 1: Parameter setting for creating the curve shown in Fig.3 Parameter Value Screen width W s 1306 mm Screen height H s 735 mm Viewing distance V 3H s 2200 mm Human interpupillary distance t x 65 mm linearly. Hence the objects of interest in viewer space should be located near the surface of the screen. 4 Depth Adjustment As described in previous sections, the depth d that the viewer perceived is determined by the horizontal screen parallax D s ; and the value of D s is determined by the horizontal sensor parallax D c. The relation between D s and D c can be described in Fig.4. Consequently, depth adjustment can be realized by controlling the amounts of the horizontal sensor parallax of stereoscopic images. Note that D c and D s belong to different spaces, and the variable D c is measured in pixels while D s is expressed in millimeters. So it is W i and W s.

(3) Eq. (3) has nothing to do with the resolution of screen, hence it adapts to screens with different

6 4238 R. LIU et al. / Journal of Information & Computational Science 8: 16 (2011) resolution. Substituting Eq. (1) and Eq. (2) into Eq. (3), then leads to the following equation: d = = D c W s V t x W i D c W s (2hz w fs x B)W s V t x z w W i (2hz w fs x B)W s (t x z w W i (2hz w fs x B)W s ), (4) where z w is the depth value of a point in left view. Based on Eq. (4), perceived depth d in viewer space can be calculated according to the variables in camera space. As for specific display and viewing conditions, variables in viewer space such as W s, V and t x are unadjustable. Thus, depth adjustment can only be realized by changing the value of variables in camera space (e.g. B, f or h) during the processing of DIBR. This is the reason why depth-image-based 3D video is easier to provide safe and comfortable 3D experience than that of traditional 3D video. 5 Experiment In this paper, "Ballet" sequence and its corresponding calibration parameters are used for depth adjustment test. Due to limited space, only frame 0 (labeled I l ) captured by camera 4 along with its depth image (labeled D) are shown here for illustration, and frame 0 is taken as the left view. Both the resolutions of I l and D are (W i = 1024). The intrinsic parameters of camera 4 satisfy f s x = In the following experiment, f = 0.08, s x = The purpose of this experiment is to subjectively evaluate the perceived depth of stereo pairs generated with different parameters by 3D image warping. In order to simplify the adjustment, parameter h is set adjustable while other parameters are kept unchanged during the experiment. One can repeat the experiment in this way on other parameters. The experiment was conducted with dozens of viewers, and they sat approximately 2.2m from the screen. The values of unchanged parameters can be found in Table [1]. In our experiment, the value of h started from 0 and gradually increased to 256 (W i /4), and the step is 25. Correspondingly, the viewer should see the objects out of screen "moves" into screen. The viewers were required to pay more attention to the women and man in "Ballet" sequence, whose depths are easier to perceive. Fig.5 shows the right views that synthesized by Eq. (1) with different values of h. Because of limited space, only the images when h = 0, 100, 200, 256 are shown in Fig.5. In order to show the influence of different h on holes, pre-processing of depth image and hole-filling are not performed here. As can be seen from Fig.5, the larger h is, the larger black margin appears at the left side of images, which indicates a small h is preferred to generate high quality images. Obviously, the "margin" effect appears due to the image shift for ZPS plane setting, and it seems unavoidable for shift-sensor camera setup. Another interesting result that can be found in Fig.5 is that holes in the "contents" of these images (e.g. holes beside the woman) are not changed much when h takes different value. This is because this kind of hole is mainly determined by parameter B and f. Comparing Fig.6 with Fig.5 (a), one can see that holes beside the woman have been reduced due to the decrease of B or f. The subjectively evaluations from viewers about the perceived depth produced by the stereo pairs reveal a wide range of responses. Some of the viewers could only perceive a small range of

Some people could see more easily into the screen than out of the screen and others could more easily see out of the screen than into the screen, which is consistent with the description in [7]. Some people are more sensitive to depth change. To most viewers, values of h between 0 and 25 provide more comfortable 3D experience than other values. This indicate that in order for a stereoscopic image on a screen to be viewed by as many people as possible, the depth range should be minimized. In other word, the primary area of interest should be located near the surface of the screen by the appropriate choice of h, and people can perceive more comfort 3D scene by depth adjustment in DIBR system.

8 4240 R. LIU et al. / Journal of Information & Computational Science 8: 16 (2011) In the experiment above, the values of h were arranged in a increasing manner. We also conducted the experiment with the values of h arranged in a random manner, and found that the viewers were easier to perceive the depth changes and easier to determine the values of h that may cause less visual fatigue. 6 Conclusions This study provides a depth adjustment method for the depth-image-based 3D video format. We give the relations between the perceived depth and other variables in camera space in the form of mathematical formula. As a result, depth can be adjusted according to the formula by changing the values of variables in camera space during the processing of DIBR. We also performed experiments to verify the method. The experimental results show that, most viewers can perceive obvious depth changes when the parameters h (or B, f) changes according to the proposed depth-adjustment formula. Hence by this depth adjustment method one can control the reproduction of depth to suit his/her own personal preferences. Note that in our experiment camera calibration parameters, such as intrinsic and extrinsic matrices, are used for DIBR in the experiment. However, the depth-image-based 3D video format defined in HDMI 1.4 ("L + depth" and "L + depth + graphics + graphics-depth") does not contain any calibration parameters [10]. How to apply the depth adjustment method to this format is our important research work in further. References [1] A. Smolic, K. Mueller, P. Merkle, A.
