System and method for controlling perceptual three-dimensional elements for display

A method for controlling an amount of perceptual three-dimensional elements for a display, wherein the method comprises:

• receiving an input image;
• receiving user information for a user, wherein the user information includes one or both of:
• predetermined data specifying a target depth perception preference for the user and predetermined user profile data for the user, wherein the user information specifies or indicates a perceptual 3D control input received from the user, and wherein the perceptual 3D control input is or indicates the predetermined data specifying the target depth perception preference for the user;
• adjusting an amount of perceptual three-dimensional elements, including one or more monocular 3D perception cues, within the input image to obtain an adjusted input image based on depth information of the input image and the user information, wherein the one or more monocular 3D perception cues includes a shading cue, a texture cue, a luminance contrast cue, and/or a motion parallax cue, and wherein the user information is used for determining an adjustment to the one or more monocular 3D perception cues;
• and
• displaying the input image as adjusted on a display.
