The authors have analyzed binocular disparity included in stereoscopic (3D) images from the perspective of producing depth sensation. This paper described the disparity analysis conducted by the authors for well-known 3D movies. Two types of disparity analysis were performed; full-length analysis of four 3D movies and analysis of emotional scenes from them. This paper reports an overview of the authors’ approaches and the results obtained from their analysis. © (2013) COPYRIGHT Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers (SPIE).
