System and method for measuring potential eyestrain of stereoscopic motion pictures

摘要

A system and method for measuring the potential eyestrain felt by audiences while watching a 3D presentation, e.g., a stereoscopic motion picture, are provided. The eyestrain measurement system and method of the present disclosure is based on the measurement of disparity (or depth) and disparity transition of stereoscopic images of the 3D presentation. The system and method of the present disclosure provide for acquiring a first image and a second image from a first segment, estimating disparity of at least one point in the first image with at least one corresponding point in the second image, estimating disparity transition of a sequence of first and second images, and determining potential eyestrain felt while viewing the 3D presentation based on the disparity and the disparity transition of the sequence of the first and second images.

1. A method of measuring potential eyestrain while viewing a three-dimensional (3D) presentation, the method comprising:
acquiring a first image and a second image from a first segment; estimating disparity of at least one point in the first image with at least one corresponding point in the second image; estimating disparity transition of a sequence of first and second images; and determining potential eyestrain while viewing the 3D presentation based on the disparity and the disparity transition of the sequence of the first and second images, the step of determining potential eyestrain further comprising:
determining an instant eyestrain function for each frame of a sequence of first and second images; andapplying a decaying factor to the instant eyestrain function for each frame of the sequence of first and second images.
