A Re-examination of Dichoptic Tone Mapping.

ABSTRACT: Dichoptic tone mapping methods aim to leverage stereoscopic displays to increase visual detail and contrast in images and videos. These methods, which have been called both binocular tone mapping and dichoptic contrast enhancement, selectively emphasize contrast differently in the two eyes' views. The visual system integrates these contrast differences into a unified percept, which is theorized to contain more contrast overall than each eye's view on its own. As stereoscopic displays become increasingly common for augmented and virtual reality (AR/VR), dichoptic tone mapping is an appealing technique for imaging pipelines. We sought to examine whether a standard photographic technique, exposure bracketing, could be modified to enhance contrast similarly to dichoptic tone mapping. While ass
