Abstract
A method of generating a synthesized 3D image from a source 2D image for display on a 3D display device including mapping a position on the display device to a fractional view number, and determining a source pixel of the 2D image to represent the said fractional view number, wherein the source pixel is determined as a function of the depth of a pixel at the position.
Claims27
A method of generating a synthesized 3D image from a source 2D image for display on a 3D display device including:
- mapping a position on said display device to a fractional view number, wherein the fractional view number is a non-integer value;
- and
- determining a source pixel of said 2D image to represent said fractional view number;
- wherein said source pixel is determined as a function of a depth of a pixel at said position;
- and mapping said source pixel to said position to generate said synthesized 3D image.
A method of generating a 3D image for display on a multi-view autostereoscopic display device including:
- receiving a source 2D image and depth map;
- determining a fractional view number for a position on said display device, wherein the fractional view number is a non-integer value;
- and
- determining a source pixel for display at said position as a function of said fractional view number and a depth assigned to an original pixel located at said position on said source 2D;
- and mapping said source pixel to said position to generate said 3D image.
A method of generating a synthesized 3D image for display on a 3D display device including:
- receiving a source 2D image, depth map, and a fractional view array;
- for a position on said display device, determining an offset location for a pixel based on said depth map and a fractional view number from the fractional view array, wherein the fractional view number is a non-integer value;
- and
- mapping a pixel at said offset location to said position to generate said synthesized 3D image.
A system for creating images suitable for display on a multi-view autostereoscopic display device including:
- a view calculation means to determine a fractional view number for a given position on said display device, wherein the fractional view number is a non-integer value;
- a source pixel calculation means for mapping a source pixel to said position as a function of a depth of a pixel at said position and said fractional view number at said position.
