Image processing method and display device

摘要

An image processing method to obtain a high sense of depth or high stereoscopic effect for an image and a display device utilizing the method are provided. Image data of an image is separated into image data of a plurality of objects and a background. A feature amount is obtained from the image data of each object, so that the objects are identified. The relative distance between viewer's eye and any of the objects is determined by the data of the sizes of the objects in the image and the sizes of the objects stored in the database. The image data of each object is processed so that an object with a shorter relative distance is enlarged. The image data of each object after image processing is combined with the image data of the background, so that a sense of depth or stereoscopic effect of an image is increased.

主权项

1. An image processing method comprising the steps of:
separating first image data of a two-dimensional image into image data of objects and image data of background; obtaining feature amounts of two-dimensional objects from the image data of objects; comparing the feature amounts of the two-dimensional objects with data stored in a database; determining front-back relations among the two-dimensional objects using results of the comparisons, based on proximity of the two-dimensional objects with regard to a front side of the two-dimensional image; processing the image data of the two-dimensional objects according to the front-back relations among the two-dimensional objects; and combining the image data of the two-dimensional objects after the processing with the image data of the background to generate second image data in which a sense of depth or stereoscopic effect is increased compared to the first image data.
