Intermediate view generation for perceived depth adjustment of stereo video

There is significant industry activity on delivery of 3D video to the home. It is expected that 3D capable devices will be able to provide consumers with the ability to adjust the depth perceived for stereo content. This paper provides an overview of related techniques and evaluates the effectiveness of several approaches. Practical considerations are also discussed.
