摘要 |
In conventional multi-view stereoscopic image generation syst ems, stereoscopic images should be generated by performing co mplicated interpolation calculations using original images of a plurality of viewpoints in real time, consuming a large amo unt of resources and requiring a highly specialised and expen sive computer or the like. Furthermore, the inability to outp ut or transmit the original images of a plurality of viewpoint s in a standard format is a major challenge for the diffusion of the stereoscopic technology. By generating in advance int ermediate images which have the same resolution as a stereosc opic image that is the final output image, and which integrate pixels for respective viewpoints, generation of a stereoscop ic image is possible only by converting the pixel arrangement without using a high-speed and specialised computer or the li ke. Furthermore, using intermediate images in which images f or respective viewpoints are arranged in a shape of tiles, a c ompletely new stereoscopic image generation system can be rea lised in which a simple and low-cost stereoscopic image gener ation device generates stereoscopic images from intermediate images output or transmitted in a more standard format by a st andard image output device such as a Blu-ray player, an STB, o r an image distribution server. |
