StereoEditor: controllable stereoscopic display by content retargeting

We report a stereoscopic editing method, named as StereoEditor, to achieve controllable stereoscopic display. By taking content-aware, depth-adaptive and object-selective retargeting into account, the resolution, depth and object of stereoscopic input are simultaneously edited to create flexible stereoscopic output. The retargeting semantics from retinal disparity limits, viewing distance, and object's scaling factors can be adjusted flexibly to achieve particular stereoscopic display, which can be controlled by user's preference and practical viewing conditions. Compared with previous methods, our method can achieve a better tradeoff among shape preservation, depth control and object layout, leading to promising viewing experience.
