Abstract

Image-based visualization is popular for various virtual tour applications, due to high-quality photorealism or simplicity for rendering. Stereo panorama representations of the virtual world are already a common part of this, either in small (computer screen) format or on large-scale stereo displays or screens. This paper discusses methods for determining optimum parameters, both for high-accuracy stereo panoramic image recording and displaying, with a special focus on automatic image disparity enhancement while displaying (e.g., including zooming) a stereo panorama. Experiments show that the discussed parameters are indeed critical for ensuring high-quality stereo viewing. Derived formulas in this study are applicable to various kinds of technologies for stereo panorama imaging or stereoscopic displaying.
