Abstract:
An embodiment of the present invention relates to a method and apparatus for correcting errors in stereo images. The apparatus for correcting errors in stereo images according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises: a space histogram generation unit generating space histogram information using the depth map information on the input image data; a peak frequency generation unit generating a peak frequency using the 2D image data of the input image data; an object analysis unit determining the error in each frame of the input image data on the basis of the space histogram and peak frequency; a depth map error correction unit correcting the depth map information to reduce the error; and a rendering processing unit generating left and right eye images, which are stereo images, by using the corrected depth map information. According to an embodiment of the present invention, errors in depth map information can be determined and reduced so as not to reduce stereoscopic perception due to the errors in the depth map information from the process of providing stereo image contents in which the depth map information is applied to the input 2D image contents.
Abstract:
Disclosed are an apparatus and method for converting 2D input image signals into 3D stereoscopic image signals and outputting the converted 3D stereoscopic image signals. According to a method of converting image signals according to an embodiment of the present inventive concept, first, motion information about a current frame that is 2D input image signals is acquired, and then a motion type of the current frame is determined using the acquired motion information. As a result of the determination, if the motion type of the current frame is a horizontal motion frame, it is determined whether the current frame is a scene change frame. If the current frame is the horizontal motion frame and is not the scene change frame, 3D output image signals are generated using a current image and a delayed image. If the current frame is not the horizontal motion frame, or if the current frame is the horizontal motion frame and the scene change frame, a depth map is applied to the current image and 3D output image signals are generated. In this case, the depth map is acquired using the horizontal boundary and a difference in a sense of depth according to a vertical location to embody a stereoscopic image.
