Analysis and design of stereoscopic television systems

Abstract

Abstract. The performance of stereoscopic television systems and its dependence on various parameters are investigated. It is shown that the extent of the region of space which can be displayed in three dimensions without causing undue eyestrain to the observer, and also the minimum detectable depth interval, are related to and may therefore be controlled by the system geometrical and optical parameters. Distortion in three-dimensional images due to the difference between the depth magnification and the magnification of the xy-plane is also analysed. Finally, it is demonstrated that the expressions defining the relationship between the performance of a 3D television system and its various parameters form a useful basis for the design of a system of this type for a given application.

The Differences Between Toed-in Camera Configurations and Parallel Camera Configurations in Shooting Stereoscopic Images

“…Determining appropriate shooting and viewing conditions is equivalent to determining the method of converting from real space to stereoscopic images, which is one of the most fundamental tasks in constructing the stereoscopic image system. Great effort has been made on analyzing this conversion using binocular parallax as a parameter [1]- [4]. In particular, an orthostereoscopic condition under which the shooting space as a whole can be theoretically projected onto stereoscopic images has been examined [5] [6].…”
