Abstract
In some embodiments, a method of rendering stereoscopic images includes receiving a plurality of stereoscopic image frames to be rendered on a display screen, detecting the occurrence of an improper rendering condition in the stereoscopic image frames, and performing an action for protecting a viewer's vision when the improper rendering condition is detected. In other embodiments, systems of rendering stereoscopic images are also described.
Claims20
A method of rendering stereoscopic images, comprising:
- receiving a plurality of stereoscopic image frames to be rendered on a display screen;
- detecting the occurrence of an improper rendering condition in the stereoscopic image frames;
- and
- performing an action for protecting a viewer's vision when the improper rendering condition is detected.
A stereoscopic rendering system comprising:
- a display unit;
- and
- a processing unit coupled with the display unit, the processing unit being configured to:
- receive a plurality of stereoscopic image frames;
- detect the occurrence of an improper rendering condition in the image frames;
- and
- perform an action for protecting a viewer's vision when the improper rendering condition is detected.
A computer readable medium comprising a sequence of program instructions which, when executed by a processing unit, causes the processing unit to:
- detect an improper rendering condition from a plurality of stereoscopic image frames, wherein the improper rendering condition includes a pseudo stereo condition, a hyper-convergence condition, a hyper-divergence condition, and the concurrent occurrence of a scene change and a significant disparity change;
- and
- perform an action for protecting a viewer's vision when the improper rendering condition is detected.
