METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR THREE DIMENSIONAL VISUALIZATION OF DISPARITY MAPS

摘要

The present invention relates to a three dimensional video processing system. In particular, the present invention is directed towards a method and system for the three dimensional (3D) visualization of a disparity map. The 3D visualization system selectably provides 3D surface visualization for disparity map, 3D bar visualization for the disparity map and the 3D line meshing visualization for the disparity map. Based on the 3D visualization system, a user can analyze the disparity map of a stereo content, and then adjusting for different viewing environments to promote comfortable viewing standards.

1. A method comprising the steps of:
receiving a disparity map having a plurality of values; selecting a portion of said plurality of values to generate a sparse disparity map; filtering said values of said sparse disparity map to generate a smoothed disparity map; generating a color map in response to a user input; applying said color map to said smoothed disparity map to generate a visualization of said smoothed disparity map; and displaying said visualization of said smoothed disparity map.
