Abstract: Stereoscopic three-dimensional (3D) content essentially brings to the viewer a binocular cue to better understand the depth of a scene. A disparity map associated with the stereoscopic content is key data to ensure that the 3D effect is well accepted by the user. In this paper, the limitations of the human vision system in terms of binocular cue acceptance are presented. We explain when specific video processing can improve the quality of the experience. Several uses cases, either in post-production or on the end-user side, are presented. All of them use the dense disparity map as additional input data. Means to generate this disparity map are introduced. Then, technical details of disparitybased algorithms are presented, as well as their positioning in the global 3D workflow. Some standardization challenges are also addressed.

Blonde Laurent
bio
Laurent Blondé is principal scientist atTechnicolor Research & Innovation, Cesson Sevigne, France. He received an MSc. degree in optical engineering from the Institut d'Optique, ParisTech, France in 1985. Hired as a research engineer at Thomson Research Labs, he participated in many R&D projects including infrared image synthesis, special effects and virtual studio, display processing, anti-camcorder and color management for dinema applications, color and 3D perception. An image, color, and vision expert and multiproject technical advisor at Technicolor, Laurent likes to be a creative technical leader enriching image processing with physics and perception. He is author and co-author of more than 70 invention disclosures and is associate member of Technicolor's Fellowship Network.
Borel Thierry
bio
Borel Thierry began his career at Technicolor (formerly Thomson) in 1987 in Germany and has mainly been involved in R&D activities linked to new display technologies including plasma, OLED, and slim rear-projection; first as an engineer and then as display lab manager since 1998. In 2005, he was appointed signal processing research lab manager and led various teams working on color processing for cinema and post-production applications. He has led two European research projects addressing 2D and 3D display technologies. From 2007 to 2008, he was temporarily appointed to Beijing's Technicolor Center to develop the local research lab. Since July 2008, has been the leader of a worldwide 3D research project at Technicolor, aimed at proposing innovative solutions for 3DTV and 3D Cinema workflows with and without glasses.
