Abstract
Methods and systems to process stereo images and video information, and, in particular, to methods and devices to transfer and/or transform stereo content to decrease eye fatigue of a user during viewing of 3D video. The methods and systems can compute an initial map of disparity/depth for stereo images from 3D video, smooth a depth map, change depth perception parameters according to the estimation of eye fatigue, and generate new stereo image according to the depth perception parameters.
Claims27
A method of transforming stereo content to decrease eye fatigue of a user from a three dimensional (3D) video image, the method comprising:
- computing an initial depth map of stereo images from a 3D video signal;
- smoothing the computed depth map;
- changing depth perception parameters of the smoothed depth map according to an estimation of eye fatigue;
- and
- generating a new stereo image as the 3D video image according to the changed depth perception parameters.
A system to transform stereo content to reduce eye fatigue when a user views a three-dimensional (3D) video image, the system comprising:
- a computation and smoothing unit to compute a depth map of stereo images from a 3D video signal and smoothing the depth map;
- a depth control unit to adjust a depth perception;
- and
- an output unit to visualize a new stereo image using the depth map according to the adjusted depth perception.
A method of transforming stereo images to display three dimensional video, the method comprising:
- receiving a stereo image signal with a display apparatus;
- determining a depth map with a processor of the display apparatus for the received stereo image signal;
- receiving at least one depth perception parameter with the display apparatus;
- and
- transforming the stereo image signal with the processor according to the received at least one depth perception parameters and the determined depth map and displaying the transformed stereo images on a display of the display apparatus.
A three dimensional display apparatus to display three dimensional video, comprising:
- a computation and smoothing unit to determine a depth map of a received stereo image signal;
- a depth control unit having at least one depth perception parameter to adjust the depth map;
- and
- an output unit to generate a three dimensional image to be displayed on a display of the three dimensional display apparatus by transforming the received stereo image signal with the depth map and the at least one depth perception parameter.
