Zusammenfassung:We propose a new scene-aware foveated rendering method, which incorporates the scene awareness and characteristics of the human visual system into the mapping-based foveated rendering framework. First, we generate the conservative visual importance map that encodes the visual features of the scene, visual acuity, and gaze motion. Second, we construct the pixel size control map using a convolution kernel method. Third, we utilize the pixel size control map to guide the foveated rendering. At last, a temporal coherent refinement strategy is used to maintain the smooth foveated rendering for the adjacent frames. Compared to the state-of-the-art mapping-based foveated rendering methods using the same compression ratio, our method achieves smaller MSE, higher PSNR, and SSIM in the fovea, periphery, salient regions, and the whole image. We also conducted user studies, and the results proved that the perceptual quality of our method has a high visual similarity with the around truth rendered with the full resolution
