DEVICE AND METHOD FOR CONVERTING TWO-DIMENSIONAL VIDEO INTO THREE-DIMENSIONAL VIDEO

摘要

The characteristic amounts of videos about the far and near images are extracted from a plurality of parallax calculating areas set in one field picture at every field based on two-dimensional input video signals. Then, parallax information is generated at every predetermined unit area in one field picture based on the characteristic amount of videos extracted at every parallax area. Thereafter, first and second video signals having a horizontal phase difference are generated from the signals in each predetermined unit area of the two-dimensionaI input video signals in accordance with the parallax information corresponding to the predetermined unit areas.
