Following another person's gaze in order to achieve joint attention is an important skill in human social interactions. This work analyzes geometric aspects of the gaze following problem and proposes a learning-based computational model for the emergence of gaze following skills in infants. The model acquires advanced gaze following skills by learning associations between caregiver head poses a...

Depth-image-based rendering (DIBR) is a method to represent a stereoscopic content. The DIBR consists of a monoscopic center view and an associated per-pixel depth map. Using these two components and given depth condition from a user, the DIBR renders left and right views. The advantages of DIBR are numerous. The user can choose not only the monoscopic or stereoscopic view selectively, but also...

In this paper, we propose a method to extract depth from motion, texture and intensity. We first analyze the depth map to extract a set of depth cues. Then, based on these depth cues, we process the colored reference video, using texture, motion, luminance and chrominance content, to extract the depth map. The processing of each channel in the Y CRCB−color space is conducted separately. We test...

With the introduction of the original Radeon the general rendering performance landscape changed significantly due to the revolutionary technology that is HyperZ. Today this technology has been upgraded, fine-tuned and improved in several generations and is now a general commodity that everyone expects to have. Yet it is sometimes not well understood or taken proper advantage of. Developing 3D ...

Recently, a variety of stereoscopic contents have been provided to academic and industrial fields for broadcasting, movies and mobile materials. However, few works have been interested in the adjustment of 3D contents for diverse displays. For instance, movie contents suited to large screen frequently do not deliver the same 3D perception to small-size screen such as mobile phone, tabular PCs, ...

The relationship between color and perceived depth for realistic, colored objects with varying shading was explored. Background: Studies have shown that warm-colored stimuli tend to appear nearer in depth than cool-colored stimuli. The majority of these studies asked human observers to view physically equidistant, colored stimuli and compare them for relative depth. However, in most cases, the ...
