摘要:We propose a new 3D-input method using a relief-like depth map generation algorithm (REAL). REAL is based on the concept of reproducing a depth map, like the relief of a coin, from 3D input. Using REAL, a portable 3D-input system can be achieved using only a monocular camera and a photoflash. REAL is very simple and convenient compared with conventional technology that requires triangulation. In this paper, we describe an overview of the concept and the calculations of the depth map. We also report a subjective test of 3D images generated by REAL. The subjective test results indicated that observers perceive REAL images as natural 3D images.
