Abstract


A simple and efficient method is presented to enhance the depth perception of an image. The approach termed Depth-Stretch (D-stretch) is a tone mapping operation that is applied to the shading component of the given image. Although re-rendering a scene under geometric transformations typically requires extracting the 3D model of the scene, we show that under very simple assumptions D-stretch can be implemented without 3D reconstruction, while still providing a convincing effect of depth enhancement.
