Abstract: A processor system and computer-implemented method are provided for assigning view numbers to display elements of an autostereoscopic display for use in interleaving image data of different viewpoints of a scene on the basis of said assigned view numbers. The assignment is performed in an efficient yet accurate manner and may be easily adapted to different optical designs of such autostereoscopic displays, for example, in terms of pitch and/or slant of the optical elements used in such autostereoscopic displays, or to different sub-pixel layouts of the display panel.

Abstract: A display processor and computer-implemented method are provided for processing three-dimensional [3D] image data for display on a 3D display. The 3D display is arranged for emitting a series of views of the 3D image data which enables stereoscopic viewing of the 3D image data at multiple viewing positions. The series of views may be displayed on the 3D display using overscan. The degree of overscan may be determined as a function of one or more depth range parameters, the one or more depth range parameters characterizing, at least in part, a degree of depth perceived by a viewer when the series of views is displayed on the 3D display.

Abstract: Some embodiments are directed to an integrated circuit and computer-implemented method for estimating a depth map from an image using a joint bilateral filter at reduced computational complexity. For that purpose, image data of an image is accessed as well as depth data of a template depth map. A joint bilateral filter is then applied to the template depth map using the image data as a range term in the joint bilateral filter, thereby obtaining an image-adapted depth map as output. The applying of the joint bilateral filter includes initializing a sum-of-weighted-depths volume and a sum-of-weights volume as respective empty data structures in a memory, performing a splatting operation to fill said volumes, performing a slicing operation to obtain an image-adapted depth volume, and performing an interpolation operation to obtain an image-adapted depth value of the image-adapted depth map for each pixel in the image.

Abstract: A display apparatus is disclosed for enabling a user to experience a 3D perception when visual information is presented by the display apparatus. The display apparatus has an image forming unit having a two-dimensional array of image subpixels arranged to emit light for presenting associated visual information, and an optical system having an array of diffractive optical elements associated with respective ones of the array of image subpixels. Each diffractive optical element is arranged to diffract light from the associated image subpixel into a diffraction pattern with a plurality of diffraction orders to provide the visual information from the associated image subpixel to a plurality of directional viewing regions associated with the plurality of diffraction orders.

Abstract: A system-on-chip is provided which is configured for real-time depth estimation of video data. The system-on-chip includes a monoscopic depth estimator configured to perform monoscopic depth estimation from monoscopic-type video data, and a stereoscopic depth estimator configured to perform stereoscopic depth estimation from stereoscopic-type video data. The system-on-chip is reconfigurable to perform either the monoscopic depth estimation or the stereoscopic depth estimation on the basis of configuration data defining a selected depth estimation mode. Both depth estimators include shared circuits which are instantiated in hardware and reconfigurable to account for differences in the functionality of the circuit in each depth estimator.
