Abstract

A video including a stationary object region and a background region other than the stationary object region is generated. The background region includes a striped-texture region adjacent to the outline of the stationary object region, and a striped texture having a striped luminance pattern moves in a direction having a component orthogonal to the outline in the striped-texture region.

Claims (18)

1. A video generation device configured to provide illusory motion to a stationary object that is an object which is stationary,

the video generation device comprising processing circuitry configured to generate a video including a stationary object region that is a region of the stationary object and a background region other than the stationary object region or a video including a background region other than a stationary object region in which the stationary object is disposed, wherein

the background region includes a striped-texture region adjacent to an outline of the stationary object region,

a striped texture having a striped luminance pattern moves in a direction having a component orthogonal to the outline in the striped-texture region,

the striped-texture region is adjacent to the outline, and the striped-texture region comprises a width that is sufficiently narrow to maintain the illusory motion of the stationary object as the striped texture having the striped luminance pattern moves in the striped- texture region in the background region.

2. The video generation device according to claim 1 , wherein the striped-texture region includes the striped texture of at least one period.

3. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing a program for causing a computer to function as the video generation device according to claim 1 .

4. A video generation device configured to provide illusory motion to a stationary object that is an object which is stationary,

the video generation device comprising processing circuitry configured to generate a video including a stationary object region that is a region of the stationary object and a background region other than the stationary object region or a video including a background region other than a stationary object region in which the stationary object is disposed, wherein

the background region includes a striped-texture region adjacent to an outline of the stationary object region, and

a striped texture moves in the striped-texture region, the striped texture having a striped luminance pattern having a smaller amplitude of luminance change at a position farther from the outline.

5. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing a program for causing a computer to function as the video generation device according to claim 4 .

6. A video generation device configured to provide illusory motion to a stationary object that is an object which is stationary,

the video generation device comprising processing circuitry configured to generate a video including a stationary object region that is a region of the stationary object and a background region other than the stationary object region or a video including a background region other than a stationary object region in which the stationary object is disposed, wherein

the background region includes a striped-texture region adjacent to an outline of the stationary object region,

the stationary object has a curved outline line adjacent to the striped-texture region, and

a striped texture moves in the striped-texture region, the striped texture having a striped luminance pattern in which a luminance contour line is a curved line geometrically similar to the outline line, the curved line being tilted relative to the outline line.

7. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing a program for causing a computer to function as the video generation device according to claim 6 .
