In cooperation with IITP RAS
About the Report
The ninth report presents results from an analysis of 105 S3D movies that examined temporal shifts between views and introduces a new metric for detecting stuck-to-background objects in converted S3D scenes. The report also introduces a classifier that determines which technique was used during production of a scene (capture, conversion or CGI).

Examined problems:
- Temporal shift
- Stuck-to-background objects
- Detection of 2D-3D conversion and natively captured shots
Over 100 films analysed, including: |
|

|
The report comprises three main parts:
- Firstly, we present our approach to analyzing stereoscopic video for temporal shift. We provide the results of our analysis for 105 S3D films and present overall charts for these films.
- Then we present our new metric for detecting foreground objects stuck to the background of a scene. The report also presents visualizations of these scenes.
- Finally, we introduce our algorithm which classifies shots in S3D films into three categories: natively captured, 2D-3D converted and CGI. The section contains a lot of examples with converted shots in natively captured films and natively captured shots in converted S3D films.
Example of a "stuck-to-background" object
Professional stereographers have contributed to the analysis by providing valuable comments and general feedback.
