Conversion, correction, and other operations related to multiplexed data sets

摘要

Conversion of interleaved data and/or correction of color samples or other data are corrected by recognizing an underlying arrangement or format of different data sets within a data stream and a conversion process applied that causes bleeding between the sets The data sets are, for example, separate channel views of a 3D display, and the corruption occurs, for example, upon up-conversion of color samples that take into account both views together rather than individually. The invention is embodied, for example, as part of a playback device, display, or as a stand alone converter box that corrects the corrupted samples by at least one of substitution, filtering, or interpolation with appropriately selected samples (e.g., neighboring samples of a same view). In one embodiment, the invention comprises a conversion from a received format (e.g., checkerboard) to a delivery format (e.g., native format of a 3D ready display).

主权项

1. A method for correcting stereoscopic image data, comprising:
receiving stereoscopic image data, said stereoscopic image data comprising 3D image data interleaved with a first view image data and a second view image data, said stereoscopic image data comprising a checkerboard data format of said interleaved first view and second view image data; decoding said stereoscopic image data for rendering on a target display; and correcting a color error in at least one pixel of a first view in a stereoscopic video stream wherein the color error comprises color bleeding from said at least one pixel of a first view into a pixel of a second view in the stereoscopic video stream; and wherein further said color error is caused by de-interleaving said checkerboard data format.
