CONVERSION OF A DIGITAL STEREO IMAGE INTO MULTIPLE VIEWS WITH PARALLAX FOR 3D VIEWING WITHOUT GLASSES

摘要

A method for generating additional views from a stereo image defined by a left eye image and a right eye image. The method includes receiving as input at least one stereo image. The method includes, for each of the stereo images, generating a plurality of additional images. The method includes interlacing the additional images for each of the stereo images to generate three dimensional (3D) content made up of multiple views of the scenes presented by each of the stereo images. The interlacing may be performed such that the generated 3D content is displayable on a 3D display device including a barrier grid or a lenticular lens array on the monitor screen. The additional images may include 12 to 40 or more frames providing views of the one or more scenes from differing viewing angles than provided by the left and right cameras used to generate the original stereo image.
