Abstract
A system and computer-implemented method of altering perceptibility of depth in an image. The method comprises receiving a desired change in the perceptibility of depth in the image; receiving a depth-map corresponding to the image; and determining at least one characteristic of the image. The method further comprises applying an image process to the image, the image process varying in strength according to the depth map, and in accordance with a non-linear predetermined mapping relating a strength of the applied image process to a change in the perceptibility of depth, the mapping being determined with respect to the identified characteristic.
