Depth/Disparity Interchange Representation for Post-Production

Peshala V. Pahalawatta, Kevin J. Stec

Depth/disparity information is conducive to various post-production processes, such as compositing, editing, and alternate view rendering. Therefore, this paper describes a display agnostic framework for representing depth and disparity in post-production. The paper details the requirements and constraints associated with the representation. It also shows the manner in which the interchange framework can be used during compositing, conforming and editing. The framework simplifies the exchange of depth/disparity information gathered from Live and CGI sources. Finally, the paper analyzes the robustness of the representation to depth/disparity conversion errors and provides example scenarios in which the representation can be used.
