APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING MEDIA CONTENT

摘要

A system that incorporates teachings of the present disclosure may include, for example, a set top box having a controller to receive two-dimensional image content comprising a plurality of images, identify an object in a first image of the plurality of images, identify the object in a second image of the plurality of images, determine a perspective angle difference between the first and second images, generate a third image using the first and second images when the perspective angle difference satisfies a three-dimensional angle threshold, generate three-dimensional image content using the first image and the third image, and provide the three-dimensional image content to a display device operably coupled with the set top box. Other embodiments are disclosed.

主权项

1. A media processor, comprising:
a memory that stores instructions; and a controller coupled with the memory, wherein the controller, responsive to executing the instructions, performs operations comprising:
receiving, over a network, two-dimensional image content comprising a stream of moving images;receiving an identification of an item to be provided with depth as a selected item;searching for a plurality of objects in the stream of moving images using image recognition;identifying the selected item of the plurality of objects in a first image of the stream of moving images as a first object;identifying the first object in a second image of the stream of moving images using image recognition;identifying a second object in the first image and the second image, wherein the second object comprises a non-moving feature of the first image and the second image;determining a perspective angle difference between the first image and the second image based on a calculation of camera angles at which the first object has been captured in each of the first image and the second image based on a translational movement of the first object with respect to a second object in the first image and the second image;generating a third image using the first image and the second image when the perspective angle difference satisfies a three-dimensional angle threshold;generating three-dimensional image content using the first image and the third image based on the perspective angle difference; andproviding the three-dimensional image content to a display device operably coupled with the media processor.
