See-through HMD type 3D display can provide an advantage of us seeing virtual 3D data used stereoscopic display simultaneously with real object(MR-Mixed Reality). But, when user sees stereoscopic display for a long time, not only eye fatigue phenomenon happens but also de-focus phenomenon of data happens by fixed focal point of virtual data. Dissatisfaction of focus adjustment of eye can be considered as the important reason of this phenomenon. In this paper, We proposed an application of multi-focus in see-through HMD as a solution of this problem. As a result, we confirmed that the focus adjustment coincide between the object of real world and the virtual data by multi-focus in monocular condition.

There has been growing academic interest in revealing the effect of 3D stereoscopic displays, mostly based on the assumption that 3D would enhance the media user's psychological experiences. A 2(Display: 2D, 3D) x 2(Arousal: High, Low) x2(Valence: Positive, Negative) within-between subject experimental design, including both psychophysiological and self-report measurements, was employed to investigate if valence and arousal of the media content interact with the 3D stereo display. The results confirmed that 3D stereo significantly enhances the viewer's skin conductance level, while no meaningful difference for HR was found across the experimental conditions. The viewer's recall memory did not differ depending on the display type either. However, the viewer experienced a greater level of presence and liking of the content when the negative content was displayed in 3D stereo in comparison with the positive content. The practical implications of the results are further discussed.

Generally many kind of phase unwrapping method are used to obtain three-dimensional feature in digital holography. Goldstein algorithm is representative method. But Goldstein algorithm has some problems. We developed a modified Goldstein algorithm that could solve the problem of Goldstein algorithm using the boundary information. Obtained three-dimensional information can be applied to 3-D contents of stereoscopic, multi-view, SMV, or holographic display.

Accommodation error is one of the main factors that degrade the comfort while watching stereoscopic 3D images. We analyze the limit of the expressible 3D depth without an accommodation error using the human factor information and wave optical calculation under Fresnel approximation.

Stereoscopic/autostereoscopic systems have been developed to express 3D images, but have not been successfully use in practise. In order to apply 3D display to promising applications such as advertisements and games, we developed a 42" 2D/3D switchable display. It has characteristics that do not require special glasses for 3D images, uses multi-view technology for improving 3D viewing characteristics, and has a 2D/3D switching function to express dynamic 3D contents as well as conventional 2D contents.

In order to simulate a depth-of-field effect in real world, there have been several researches in computer graphics field. It can represent an out-of-focused scene by calculating focal plane. When a point in a 3D coordinate lies on further or nearer than focal plane, the point is presented as a blurred circle on image plane according to the characteristic of the aperture and the lens. We can generate a realistic image by simulating the effect because it provides an out-of-focused scene like human eye dose. In this paper, we propose a method to calculate a disparity value of a viewer using a customized stereoscopic eye-tracking system and a GPU-based depth-of-field control method. They enable us to generate more realistic images reducing side effects such as dizziness. Since stereoscopic imaging system compels the users to fix their focal position, they usually feel discomfort during watching the stereoscopic images. The proposed method can reduce the side effect of stereoscopic display system and generate more immersive images.

In this paper, we implemented a real-time system which displays 3-dimensional (3D) stereoscopic image with stereo camera. The system consists of a set of stereo camera, FPGA board, and 3D stereoscopic LCD. Two CMOS image sensor were used for the stereo camera. FPGA which processes video data was designed with Verilog-HDL, and it can accommodate various resolutional videos. The stereoscopic image is configured by two methods which are side-by-side and up-down image configuration. After the left and right images are converted to the type for the stereoscopic display, they are stored into SDRAM. When the next frame is inputted into FPGA from two CMOS image sensors, the previous video data is output to the DA converter for displaying it. From this pipeline operation, the real-time operation is possible. After the proposed system was implemented into hardware, we verified that it operated exactly.

In this paper, we propose a DOF (Depth of Field) correction technique by determining the values of the internal parameters of a 3-D camera which consists of stereoscopic cameras of different optical properties. If there is any difference in the size or the depth range of focused objects in the left and right stereoscopic images, it could cause visual fatigue to human viewers. The object size of in the stereoscopic image is corrected by the LUT of zoom lenses, and the forward and backward DOF are corrected by the object distance. Then the F-numbers are determined to adjust the optical properties of the camera for DOF correction. By applying the proposed technique to a main-sub type 3-D camera using a GUI-based DOF simulator, the DOF of the camera is automatically corrected.

Recently, there has been much interest in realistic broadcasting that is a new field following HDTV and 3DTV. In general. the realistic broadcasting is composed of diverse components such as aquisition, authoring, compression, transmission and display, posing many challenging tasks. It is necessary that the types of realistic contents need to be defined prior to the development of realistic broadcasting systems. Based upon them, other components need to be designed and developed. In this paper, we propose some realistic contents suitable to the realistic broadcasting as well as techniques of generating them. Our proposed contents consist of stereoscopic multiview sequences, object-based stereoscopic images, depth map-based image compositing and the composition of stereoscopic real and graphics images. Content generation techniques and their associated software modules are presented with realistic images produced from our experiments. Those contents are produced to deliver stereoscopic perception, immersion and realism to the users as shown in our experimental results.
