Display system with image conversion mechanism and method of operation thereof

A method of operation of a display system comprising:

• receiving an input image having input pixels;
• generating an input histogram from a pixel value of the input pixels;
• classifying input peaks of the input histogram corresponding to a semantic category,
• assigning a pixel information for the input pixels based on comparison with the input peaks, the pixel information corresponding to the semantic category;
• detecting input background pixels from the input pixels with the pixel information;
• identifying input foreground pixels from the input pixels with the input background pixels;
• assigning a pixel depth to the input background pixels and input foreground pixels;
• generating a depth map with the input background pixels and the input foreground pixels;
• and
• generating a processed image from the input image with the depth map for displaying on a device.

A display system comprising:

• a communication unit for receiving an input image having input pixels;
• a semantic assignment module, coupled to the communication unit, for assigning a pixel information for the input pixels corresponding to a semantic category;
• a background detection module, coupled to the semantic assignment module, for detecting input background pixels from the input pixels with the pixel information;
• a foreground detection module, coupled to the background detection module, for detecting input foreground pixels from the input pixels with the input background pixels;
• a background depth module, coupled to the semantic assignment module, for assigning pixel depth to the input background pixels;
• an object depth module, coupled to the background depth module;
• for assigning pixel depth to the input foreground pixels;
• a depth map module, coupled to the semantic assignment module;
• for generating a depth map with the input background pixels and the input foreground pixels;
• and
• an image display module, coupled to the depth map module, for generating a processed image, from the input image with the depth map, for displaying on a device.
