DEPTH-MAP GENERATION FOR AN INPUT IMAGE USING AN EXAMPLE APPROXIMATE DEPTH-MAP ASSOCIATED WITH AN EXAMPLE SIMILAR IMAGE

摘要

An image converter receives a two-dimensional image to be converted to a first three-dimensional image. The image converter computes a feature-to-depth mapping function based on an approximate depth map associated with a second three-dimensional image. The image converter applies the feature-to-depth mapping function to a plurality of pixels of the two-dimensional image to determine a depth value for each of the plurality of pixels and generates the first three-dimensional image based on the depth values for the plurality of pixels of the two-dimensional image.
