Abstract: A method for modifying images for display on a three dimensional display includes receiving a first image and a corresponding second image which together represent a three dimensional image when displayed on the display. Glasses suitable to be worn by a viewer of the display provide depth perception of the three dimensional image. The glasses selectively send a signal to the display indicating whether the viewer selectively observes either two dimensional or three dimensional content by the display. The glasses also selectively send a signal to the display indicating the depth strength and image brightness of the perceived images.

Abstract: Among other things, methods, systems and computer program products are described for detecting and tracking a moving object in a scene. One or more residual pixels are identified from video data. At least two geometric constraints are applied to the identified one or more residual pixels. A disparity of the one or more residual pixels to the applied at least two geometric constraints is calculated. Based on the detected disparity, the one or more residual pixels are classified as belonging to parallax or independent motion and the parallax classified residual pixels are filtered. Further, a moving object is tracked in the video data. Tracking the object includes representing the detected disparity in probabilistic likelihood models. Tracking the object also includes accumulating the probabilistic likelihood models within a number of frames during the parallax filtering.
