Modifying images for a 3-dimensional display mode

摘要

Modifying images for a 3-dimensional display mode includes receiving a third image encoded for a 3-dimensional display mode, receiving a first image not encoded for the 3-dimensional display mode, modifying the first image to generate a second image encoded for the 3-dimensional display mode, and displaying the third image and the second image in the 3-dimensional display mode.

1. A method, comprising:
receiving a first image for display in a 3-dimensional display mode, wherein the first image is not encoded for the 3-dimensional display mode; receiving a third image for display in the 3-dimensional display mode, wherein the third image is encoded for the 3-dimensional display mode, and where the third image comprises a set of side-by-side images further comprising a right view image and a left view image and further wherein the first image is to be merged with the third image to result in a 3-dimensional composite image; detecting that the first image has not been encoded for the 3-dimensional display mode based on an analysis of the first image, wherein the detecting that the first image has not been encoded for the 3-dimensional mode comprises comparing two different portions of the first image and determining a degree of similarity between the two different portions of the first image; detecting that the third image has been encoded for the 3-dimensional display mode based on an analysis of the third image, wherein the analysis of the third image generates 3-dimensional display mode information; modifying the first image to generate a second image encoded for the 3-dimensional display mode, wherein the second image comprises a right view image and a left view image that, when composed with the third image, renders a 3-dimensional image substantially depicting the 2-dimensional first image in 3-dimensions, and wherein the modifying the first image to generate the second image is responsive to the detecting that the first image has not been encoded for the 3-dimensional display mode and is based on the 3-dimensional display mode information; and displaying the second image in the 3-dimensional display mode; wherein the method is performed by one or more devices that comprise a processor.
