本實驗設計並實作自動化可指導立體參數值演算法，旨在加速新製作之立體
動畫的製作流程，以及自動為已完成之三維動畫計算立體相機參數，重做立體版
本。該系統設計去學習立體攝影師經驗法則及滿足導演需求的方式，去自動計算
立體參數以減少整個立體參數設定的工作時程。自動立體設定演算法乃是歸納立
體經驗法則，分別為在立體舒適區中演出、立體變化速度的限制及立體預算的使
用等，及導入導演的指示後，去尋找最佳化及符合這些條件的立體參數值。最
後，我們使用三部動畫短片去驗證此演算法，將其自動算出的結果，與立體攝影
師手動設定的結果作比較，證明本演算法可以計算出與立體攝影師足夠相似的立
體感受。

This work proposes a directable automatic stereoscopic parameter estimation method
(DASPEM) to accelerate the process of setting stereoscopic parameters for computer
graphics animation production. After the director gives his/her instruction, the esti-
mation process is fully automatic. The algorithm is mainly derived from the general
stereoscopic rules of the stereoscopic animators and constrained with the artistic
instructions of the director. The stereoscopic rules derived are as follows: objects
should be placed and played in the comfort zone of stereoscopy, the rate of change
in stereoscopy should be limited for avoidance of discomfort and fatigue and the
amount of stereoscopy should be limited. After formulate these rules and possi-
ble the director's instructions, all a ecting factors are weighed by an opitmization
process to nd an optimal set of stereoscopic parameters for the entire animation.
The algorithm is applied to three CG animations with di erent length and a user
study is conducted to compare the stereoscopic settings of our algorithm and the
stereoscopic animator. The result show that our algorithm can get comparable
stereoscopic settings as the stereoscopic animator.
