Manipulating perceived depth and creating the illusion of motion in 2D images

We introduce a novel con- cept called perceptually meaningful image editing and present techniques for manipulating the apparent depth of objects and creating the illusion of motion in 2D images. Our tech- niques combine principles of human visual perception with approaches developed by traditional artists. For our depth manipulation technique, the user loads an image, selects an object and specifies whether the object should appear closer or further away. The system automatically determines luminance or color temperature target values for the object and/or back- ground that achieve the desired depth change. Our approach for creating the illusion of motion exploits the differences between our peripheral vision and our foveal vision by introducing spatial imprecision to the image.

我们引入了一个名为“具有感知意义的图像编辑”的新概念，并提出了用于操纵物体表观深度以及在二维图像中创造运动错觉的技术。我们的技术将人类视觉感知原理与传统艺术家所开发的方法相结合。对于我们的深度操纵技术，用户加载一张图像，选择一个物体，并指定该物体应该看起来更近还是更远。系统会自动确定物体和/或背景的亮度或色温目标值，以实现所需的深度变化。我们用于创造运动错觉的方法通过向图像引入空间不精确性，利用了我们的周边视觉和中央凹视觉之间的差异。
