Stereoscopic format converter

摘要

A device and method for converting one stereoscopic format into another. A software-enabled matrix is used to set forth predefined relationships between one type of format as an input image and another type of format as an output image. The matrix can then be used as a look-up table that defines a correspondence between input pixels and output pixels for the desired format conversion.

1. A method of format conversion comprising:
receiving input image data having an input image format; determining whether a conversion from the input image format to a stereoscopic output format is supported; only if the conversion is determined to be supported, processing the conversion, wherein the processing comprises converting the input image format to the supported stereoscopic output format according to a predefined relationship between the input image format and the supported stereoscopic output format, thereby creating output image data for displaying an output image on a display, the output image data having the supported stereoscopic output format; and providing the output image data.
