Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立臺灣大學 === 資訊管理學研究所 === 99 === This thesis presents a novel gradient-domain stereoscopic image cloning technique which performs both color blending and shape adjustment so that the stereoscopic composite is seamless in both color appearance and the perceived shape. The core of the proposed method is an iterative disparity adaptation process which alternates between two steps: gradient-domain disparity estimation, which re-estimates the disparities in the gradient domain so that the disparities are continuous across the boundary of the cloned region; and perspective-aware warping, which re-adjusts the shape and size of the cloned region according to the updated disparities. This procedure guarantees not only depth continuity across the boundary but also models perspective foreshortening, leading to more natural stereoscopic composites. Our method allows cloning objects with transparency, intricate silhouette and vague boundaries easily because it does not require precise segmentation of the objects. We demonstrates stereoscopic image cloning on several challenging cases including water surface, firework and rainbow.
