Abstract
A method for adapting 3D video content to a display under different viewing conditions is disclosed. The method has the steps of: retrieving a stereoscopic image pair; obtaining a maximum disparity value for the stereoscopic image pair; determining a largest allowable shift for the stereoscopic image pair using the obtained maximum disparity value; calculating an actual shift for a left image and a right image of the stereoscopic image pair using the determined largest allowable shift; and shifting the left image and the right image in accordance with the calculated actual shift.
Claims13
A method for adapting 3D video content to a display, the method comprising the steps of:
- retrieving a stereoscopic image pair;
- obtaining a maximum disparity value for the stereoscopic image pair;
- determining a largest allowable shift for the stereoscopic image pair using the obtained maximum disparity value;
- calculating an actual shift for a left image and a right image of the stereoscopic image pair using the determined largest allowable shift;
- and
- shifting the left image and the right image in accordance with the calculated actual shift.
An apparatus for adapting 3D video content to a display, the apparatus comprising:
- an input for retrieving a stereoscopic image pair;
- a disparity determination unit for obtaining a maximum disparity value for the stereoscopic image pair;
- a maximum shift determination unit for determining a largest allowable shift for the stereoscopic image pair from the obtained maximum disparity value;
- an actual shift calculation unit for calculating an actual shift for a left image and a right image of the stereoscopic image pair from the determined largest allowable shift;
- and
- an image shifting unit for shifting the left image and the right image in accordance with the calculated actual shift.
