Abstract :
A method of optimal 3D viewing based on adaptive displays of stereo images is presented for advanced telemanipulation. The method provides the viewer with the capability of accurately observing a virtual 3D object or local scene of his/her choice with minimum distortion. The viewer is allowed to define a virtual 3D object or local scene at a desired depth as a scaled version of a real 3D object or local scene which he/she wants to focus on. The key result is an algorithm which determines in real-time the optimal parameter values associated with stereo imaging and image projection on a video screen. The selected parameter values implement the optimal stereo viewing adapted to the viewer´s focus of attention. Simulation results are shown
