2D to 3D image conversion device and method

摘要

A method to convert two-dimensional (“2D”) image content into three-dimensional (“3D”) image content for display on a display device, comprises the steps of: analyzing the 2D image content for predefined indicators and generating a depth map for each of the predefined indicators; determining a combined depth map as a function of the generated depth maps; and generating the 3D image content for display on the display device as a function of the combined depth map.

1. A method to convert two-dimensional (“2D”) image content into three-dimensional (“3D”) image content for display on a display device, comprising the steps of:
analyzing the 2D image content for predefined indicators and generating a depth map for each of the predefined indicators, wherein the predefined indicators comprise predefined details, wherein a depth-from-details depth map is generated as a function of the analyzed 2D image content, wherein the generation of the depth-from-details depth map comprises the steps of: determining one or more horizontal edges of the 2D image content; determining one or more vertical edges of the 2D image content; and blending the determined one or more horizontal edges and the determined one or more vertical edges to generate the depth-from-details depth map; determining a combined depth map as a function of the generated depth maps; and generating the 3D image content for display on the display device as a function of the combined depth map.
