Abstract: In this paper, we present a novel technique for seam carving of stereoscopic video. It removes seams of pixels in areas that are most likely not noticed by the viewer. When applying seam carving to stereoscopic video rather than monoscopic still images, new challenges arise. The detected seams must be consistent between the left and the right view, so that no depth information is destroyed. When removing seams in two consecutive frames, temporal consistency between the removed seams must be established to avoid flicker in the resulting video. By making certain assumptions, the available depth information can be harnessed to improve the quality achieved by seam carving. Assuming that closer pixels are more important, the algorithm can focus on removing distant pixels first. Furthermore, we assume that coherent pixels belonging to the same object have similar depth. By avoiding to cut through edges in the depth map, we can thus avoid cutting through object boundaries.
