Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An apparatus and method for measuring 3-dimensional (3D) interocular crosstalk is disclosed. A light sensor detects luminance of a stereoscopic image displayed in a display and outputs a luminance value indicating the detected luminance. A controller calculates 3D interocular crosstalk based on a gray difference and a residual luminance ratio.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An apparatus for measuring 3-dimensional (3D) interocular crosstalk, comprising: a light sensor configured to detect luminance of a stereoscopic image displayed in a display and output a luminance value indicating the detected luminance; and a controller configured to calculate 3D interocular crosstalk based on a gray difference and a residual luminance ratio, wherein the gray difference is calculated based on gray levels of a first view image and a second view image included in the stereoscopic image and the residual luminance ratio is calculated based on the luminance value. 2. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the stereoscopic image is displayed in a glasses method or a non-glasses method. 3. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the light sensor detects luminance of the stereoscopic image passing 3D glasses. 4. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the gray difference is multiplied by the residual luminance ratio to calculate the 3D interocular crosstalk. 5. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the gray difference is calculated further based on the display's Gamma (γ) value. 6. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the gray difference is calculated by the following equation (1), D G ⁢ ⁢ 1 , G ⁢ ⁢ 2 = ( G ⁢ ⁢ 2 255 ) γ - ( G ⁢ ⁢ 1 255 ) γ The following equation (1) wherein, in the equation (1), G 1 is the first view image's gray level, G 2 is the second view image's gray level, D G1,G2 means the gray difference, and Γ is the display's Gamma(γ) value. 7. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the residual luminance ratio is calculated by the following equation (2), R G ⁢ ⁢ 1 , G ⁢ ⁢ 2 = L G ⁢ ⁢ 1 , G ⁢ ⁢ 2 - L G ⁢ ⁢ 2 , G ⁢ ⁢ 2 L G ⁢ ⁢ 2 , G ⁢ ⁢ 1 - L G ⁢ ⁢ 2 , G ⁢ ⁢ 2 The following equation (2) wherein, in the equation (2), G 1 is the first view image's gray level, G 2 is the second view image's gray level, L G1,G2 is a luminance value indicating the luminance detected by the light sensor when the first view image is for an observed image and the second view image is for an unobserved image, L G2 , G1 is a luminance value indicating the luminance detected by the light sensor when the first view image is for an unobserved image and the second view image is for an observed image, L G2,G2 is a luminance value indicating the luminance detected by the light sensor when the stereoscopic image includes two second view images and one of the two second view images is for an observed image and another is for an unobserved image, and R G1,G2 means the residual luminance ratio. 8. The apparatus according to the claim 1 , wherein the controller calculates the 3D interocular crosstalk using the following equation (3) or the following equation (4), X LO , G ⁢
