Stereoscopic Image Generating Apparatus and Method

摘要

A depth map generating device. A first depth information extractor extracts a first depth information from a main two dimensional (2D) image according to a first algorithm and generates a first depth map corresponding to the main 2D image. A second depth information extractor extracts a second depth information from a sub 2D image according to a second algorithm and generates a second depth map corresponding to the sub 2D image. A mixer mixes the first depth map and the second depth map according to adjustable weighting factors to generate a mixed depth map. The mixed depth map is utilized for converting the main 2D image to a set of three dimensional (3D) images.
