This paper proposes a method to generate a stereoscopic image pair from a digital hologram by considering the situation that digital hologram data is serviced but the end-user does not have the proper display equipment, etc. We use Fresnel transform as the method to convert a digital hologram into an image. Each image of the stereoscopic image pair uses a part of the given digital hologram and the sizes of the two partial digital holograms for the two images are chosen to be the same. Here, the size of the image is adjusted by the size of the partial digital hologram and the disparity between the pair images is adjusted by the distance between the centers of the two partial hologram. This paper also deals with how to adjust the size and the disparity of the images. In this paper the generated stereoscopic images are implemented as an anaglyphic display type to confirm the feeling of distance by wearing the red-blue glasses.

In this paper, an effective method for reconstruction of stereoscopic image pair through the regularized adaptive disparity estimation is proposed. Although the conventional adaptive disparity window matching can sharply improve the PSNR of a reconstructed stereo image, but there still exist some problems of overlapping between the matching windows and disallocation of the matching windows, because the size of the matching window tend to changes adaptively in accordance with the magnitude of the feature values. In the proposed method, the problems relating to the conventional adaptive disparity estimation scheme can be solved and the predicted stereo image can be more effectively reconstructed by regularizing the extimated disparity vector with the neighboring disparity vectors. From the experimental results, it is found that the proposed algorithm show improvements the PSNR of the reconstructed right image by about 2.36${\sim}$2.76 dB, on average, compared with that of conventional algorithms.

Recently, advancement in the visual technology has lead to the further development of the three dimensional (3D) imaging systems. The visual perception to view a pair of images simultaneously, is a crucial factor to build a stereoscopic 3D image. In this paper, we present the depth cues between the intensities of the two images when viewing with both eyes. Due to this stereoscopic effect, objects at different distances from the eyes differ in their horizontal positions, giving the depth cue of horizontal disparity. By simple image processing technique, we also present the binocular disparity map between the two images. A median filter has been used to filter out all the noises occurring in the disparity map image.

In this paper, the problem of a viewer's head tracking in a desktop-based interactive stereoscopic display system is considered. A fast and low-cost approach to the problem is important for such a computing environment. The system under consideration utilizes a shuttle glass for stereoscopic display. The proposed method makes use of an image taken from a single low-cost video camera. By using a simple feature extraction algorithm, the obtained points corresponding to the image of the user-worn shuttle glass are used to estimate the glass center, its local 'yaw' angle, as measured with respect to the glass center, and its global 'yaw' angle as measured with respect to the camera location. With these estimations, the stereoscopic image synthetic program utilizes those values to interactively adjust the two-view stereoscopic image pair as displayed on a computer screen. The adjustment is carried out such that the so-obtained stereoscopic picture, when viewed from a current user position, provides a close-to-real perspective and depth perception. However, because the algorithm and device used are designed for fast computation, the estimation is typically not precise enough to provide a flicker-free interactive viewing. An error concealment method is thus proposed to alleviate the problem. This concealment method should be sufficient for applications that do not require a high degree of visual realism and interaction.

A new stereoscopic PIV is introduced. The system works with CCD cameras, stereoscopic photogrammetry, and a 3D-PTV principle. Virtual images are produced for the construction of a benchmark testing tool of PIV techniques. The arrangement of the two cameras is based on angular position. The calibration of cameras and the pair-matching of the three-dimensional velocity vectors are based on 3D-PTV technique.

In this paper, a new rectification scheme to transform the uncalibrated stereo image pair into the calibrated one is suggested and its performance is analyzed by applying this scheme to the reconstruction of the intermediate views for multi-view stereoscopic display. In the proposed method, feature points are extracted from the stereo image pair by detecting the comers and similarities between each pixel of the stereo image pair. These detected feature points, are then used to extract moving vectors between the stereo image pair and the epipolar line. Finally, the input stereo image pair is rectified by matching the extracted epipolar line between the stereo image pair in the horizontal direction. Based on some experiments done on the synthesis of the intermediate views by using the calibrated stereo image pairs through the proposed rectification algorithm and the uncalibrated ones for three kinds of stereo image pairs; 'Man', 'Face' and 'Car', it is found that PSNRs of the intermediate views reconstructed from the calibrated images improved by about 2.5${\sim}$3.26 dB than those of the uncalibrated ones.

A new Stereoscopic PTV was developed using two CCD cameras, stereoscopic photogrammetry based on a 3D-PTV principle. Virtual images were produced for the benchmark test of the constructed Stereoscopic PTV technique. The arrangement of the two cameras was based on angular position. The calibration of cameras and the pair-matching of the three-dimensional velocity vectors were based on the Genetic Algorithm based 3D-PTV technique. The constructed Stereoscopic PTV technique was tested on the standard images of the impinged jet proposed by VSJ. The results obtained by the constructed system showed good agreements with the original data.

This paper describes a full color stereoscopic video display system using a LCD shutter. Human apprehends the world with a natural stereo vision. The left eye sees through a slightly different perspective from the right eye; proposed vision system combines two images into a single image that has stereo depth. That is, when the left image is on the screen, the left shutter opens and the right shutter closes - and vice versa. The LCD shutter channels the left image to the left eye, and the right image to the right eye. The brain then fuses the stereo pair into a single high-resolution, flicker-free 3D image. The designed vision system is a real-time system that shows stereoscopic images without the loss of image information from video cameras.

Horizontally-moving method (HMM) stereoscopic camera has a liner relationship between ver-gence and focus control. We introduced the automatic control method for a stereoscopic camera system that uses the relationship between vergence and focus of an HMM stereoscopic camera. the Automatic control method uses disparity compensation of the acquired image pair from the stereoscopic camera. For faster extraction of disparity information, the proposed binocular dispar-ity estimation method by the one-dimensional cepstral filter algorithm would be investigated. The suggested system in this study substantially reduced the controlling time and error-ratio so as to make it possible to achieve natural and clear images.

A new high-definition stereoscopic PTV was constructed using two CCD cameras, stereoscopic photogrammetry based on a 30-PTV principle. The arrangement of the two cameras was based on angular position. The calibration of cameras and the pair-matching of the three-dimensional velocity vectors were based on Genetic Algorithm based 30-PTV technique. The constructed Stereoscopic PTV technique was tested on the standard images of the Impinging jet proposed by VSJ. The results on the turbulent properties of the jet obtained by the constructed system showed a good agreement with the original LES data.
