【 摘 要 】

Stereoscopic 3D (S3D) media is pervasive in film, photography and art. However, working withS3D media poses a number of interesting challenges arising from capture and editing. In this thesiswe address several of these challenges. In particular, we address disparity adjustment and presenta layer-based method that can reduce disparity without distorting the scene. Our method wassuccessfully used to repair several images for the 2014 documentary ;;Soldiers’ Stories” directed byJonathan Kitzen. We then explore consistent and comfortable methods for stylizing stereo images.Our approach uses a modified version of the layer-based technique used for disparity adjustmentand can be used with a variety of stylization filters, including those in Adobe Photoshop. Wealso present a disparity-aware painterly rendering algorithm. A user study concluded that ourlayer-based stylization method produced S3D images that were more comfortable than previousmethods. Finally, we address S3D line drawing from S3D photographs. Line drawing is a commonart style that our layer-based method is not able to reproduce. To improve the depth perception ofour line drawings we optionally add stylized shading. An expert survey concluded that our resultswere comfortable and reproduced a sense of depth.
