Conventionally there exist two major methods to create mosaics in 3D videos. One is to duplicate the area of mosaics
from the image of one viewpoint (the left view or the right view) to that of the other viewpoint. This method, which is
not capable of expressing depth, cannot give viewers a natural perception in 3D. The other method is to create the
mosaics separately in the left view and the right view. With this method the depth is expressed in the area of mosaics, but
3D perception is not natural enough. To overcome these problems, we propose a method to create mosaics by using a
disparity map. In the proposed method the mosaic of the image from one viewpoint is made with the conventional
method, while the mosaic of the image from the other viewpoint is made based on the data of the disparity map so that
the mosaic patterns of the two images can give proper depth perception to the viewer. We confirm that the proposed
mosaic pattern using a disparity map gives more natural depth perception of the viewer by subjective experiments using
a static image and two videos.
