APPARATUS CONVERTING HOLOGRAM IMAGE OF TWO-DIMENSIONAL IMAGE AND METHOD THEREOF

摘要

Provided are an apparatus for converting a two-dimensional image into a hologram image and a method thereof. The apparatus for converting a two-dimensional image into a hologram image includes a selected-image matching unit for searching an object pattern, which is the most similar to a two-dimensional image to be converted into a hologram image, for an object pattern database which stores classified object patterns; an object image extracting unit for rotating a three-dimensional object pattern according to a preset rotation angle to extract two-dimensional images at each viewing point according to an angular velocity after the two-dimensional image is restored to the three-dimensional object in a virtual space based on information about the searched object pattern by the selected-image matching unit; and a hologram generating unit for extracting information about a hogel having a three-dimensional depth in each directions based on the two-dimensional extracted image according to the rotation angle and for rearranging the extracted hogel information to generate a hologram corresponding to the two-dimensional image. As described above, the apparatus for converting a two-dimensional image into a hologram image may provide an effect of a real hologram based on a two-dimensional image, thereby allowing everyone to easily enjoy 3D images.
