Image processing method, image processor and stereoscopic image display device using the image processor

摘要

This embodiments herein relate to an image processing method and a stereoscopic image display device that provide high readability of a text area when implementing both 2D images and 3D images. The embodiments described herein convert the left(right)-eye image data corresponding to the left(right)-eye coordinates into a mean of the left(right)-eye image data corresponding to the left(right)-eye coordinates and the left(right)-eye image data adjacent to thereof on the other line. Therefore, the embodiments described herein may compensate for the left(right)-eye conversion data which are not arranged on a 3D format. As a result, the embodiments described herein may improve readability of the text area in the 3D mode. Also, the embodiments described herein may improve readability on the text area by applying a sharpness filter to the original 2D image corresponding to the 2D coordinates which is detected as the text area in the 2D mode.

主权项

1. An image processing method comprising:
(A) converting left-eye image data into left-eye edge data, and right-eye image data into right-eye edge data; (B) extracting left-eye coordinates corresponding to a text area of a left-eye image and right-eye coordinates corresponding to the text area of a right-eye image by analyzing the left-edge data and right-edge data respectively; (C) generating by an image processor, for each left-eye coordinate, left-eye conversion data by converting the left-eye image data corresponding to the left-eye coordinate into an average of the left-eye image data corresponding to the left-eye coordinate and another left-eye image data adjacent to the left-eye image data corresponding to the left-eye coordinate, and generating by the image processor, for each right-eye coordinate, right-eye conversion data by converting the right-eye image data corresponding to the right-eye coordinate into an average of the right-eye image data corresponding to the right-eye coordinate and another right-eye image data adjacent to the right-eye image data corresponding to the right-eye coordinate; (D) generating three dimensional (3D) image data by converting the left-eye conversion data and the right-eye conversion data according to a 3D format method; and (E) displaying a 3D image corresponding to the 3D image data on a display device.
