In projectors and head-mounted displays, an out-of-focus image appears blurred. Even when a display itself is in focus, computer operation may be hindered if the display is far from the user or if a user has poor visual acuity, because the…
Foveated rendering methods usually reduce spatial resolution in the periphery of the users' view. However, using foveated rendering to reduce temporal resolution, i.e., rendering frame rate, seems less explored. In this work, we present the…
Deep learning has made great strides for object detection in images. The detection accuracy and computational cost of object detection depend on the spatial resolution of an image, which may be constrained by both the camera and storage…
