Abstract
Provided is an information processing apparatus that includes a viewpoint position detection unit and a correction processing unit. The viewpoint position detection unit detects a viewpoint position (PS) of an observer. The correction processing unit detects a gaze point (GP) on a viewpoint image (VPI) corresponding to the viewpoint position (PS). The correction processing unit blurs an outer edge of the viewpoint image (VPI) away from the gaze point (GP) in a parallax direction.
Claims6
An information processing apparatus, comprising:
- at least one processor configured to:
- detect a viewpoint position of an observer, wherein the viewpoint position corresponds to viewpoint position information;
- detect a gaze point on a viewpoint image, wherein
- the viewpoint image is on a screen, and
- the gaze point corresponds to the viewpoint position;
- blur an outer edge of the viewpoint image away from the gaze point in a parallax direction;
- vary a blur amount of the blur of the outer edge in the viewpoint image based on a moving speed of the viewpoint position;
- determine, based on the viewpoint position information, a correspondence relation between each of the viewpoint image, the blur amount, and a pixel group of the screen;
- and
- generate a multistage blurred image based on the determined correspondence relation between each of the viewpoint image, the blur amount, and the pixel group of the screen.
An information processing method comprising:
- in an information processing apparatus:
- detecting a viewpoint position of an observer, wherein the viewpoint position corresponds to viewpoint position information;
- detecting a gaze point on a viewpoint image, wherein
- the viewpoint image is on a screen, and
- the gaze point corresponds to the viewpoint position;
- blurring an outer edge of the viewpoint image away from the gaze point in a parallax direction;
- varying a blur amount of the blur of the outer edge in the viewpoint image based on a moving speed of the viewpoint position;
- determining, based on the viewpoint position information, a correspondence relation between each of the viewpoint image, the blur amount, and a pixel group of the screen;
- and
- generating a multistage blurred image based on the determined correspondence relation between each of the viewpoint image, the blur amount, and the pixel group of the screen.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon, computer-executable instructions which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to execute operations, the operations comprising:
- detecting a viewpoint position of an observer, wherein the viewpoint position corresponds to viewpoint position information;
- detecting a gaze point on a viewpoint image, wherein
- the viewpoint image is on a screen, and
- the gaze point corresponds to the viewpoint position;
- blurring an outer edge of the viewpoint image away from the gaze point in a parallax direction;
- varying a blur amount of the blur of the outer edge in the viewpoint image based on a moving speed of the viewpoint position;
- determining, based on the viewpoint position information, a correspondence relation between each of the viewpoint image, the blur amount, and a pixel group of the screen;
- and
- generating a multistage blurred image based on the determined correspondence relation between each of the viewpoint image, the blur amount, and the pixel group of the screen.
