Abstract:
A 3D video encoding rate controlling method and an apparatus using the method are disclosed. An image encoding method includes encoding first and second images at a first encoding ratio, with an encoding rate of the first image different from an encoding rate of the second image and after encoding the first and second images at the first encoding ratio, encoding the first and second images at a second encoding ratio. Accordingly, it may be possible to provide a viewer with 3D images while minimizing visual fatigue in consideration of a human visual characteristics.
Abstract:
Provided is a geometric correction apparatus and method based on a recursive Bezier patch sub-division. A geometric correction method may include: receiving, from a camera, a first image that is obtained by photographing a black screen that is projected by a projector onto a projection surface; receiving, from the camera, a second image that is obtained by photographing a predetermined pattern that is projected by the projector onto the projection screen; generating a third image by subtracting the first image from the second image; and performing geometric correction with respect to the predetermined pattern to correct a distortion between the predetermined pattern and the third image.
Abstract:
An image synthesizing method according to the present invention includes generating a depth image in a current picture by searching depth information using a plurality of color images obtained at different view points, performing filtering on the depth image using a 3-dimensional (3D) joint bilateral filter, and generating a synthesized image using the plurality of color images and the filtered depth image, wherein the 3D joint bilateral filter performs filtering on the generated depth image using color image information for at least one of previous pictures, the current picture, and subsequent pictures, and the color image information includes information on a boundary of an object in the color images and color information of the color images. According to the present invention, image processing performance may be enhanced.
Abstract:
An apparatus and a method for correcting colors of an image projection device are provided. The method includes: acquiring a photographed image by photographing a sample image projected on projection surface; generating input-output color information for n regions, based on color values of a block in the sample image and corresponding color values of the block in the photographed image; selecting one of the n regions of photographed images as a reference region; generating look-up tables (LUTs) for non-reference regions, based on the reference region and the input and output color information; and correcting colors of input images to be projected by the image projection device using the look-up tables, thereby minimizing color difference of the input images on the projection surface for both intra and inter projection device color correction while simplifying the correction procedure.
