  • Publication number: 20110074933
    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 three dimensional display. Based upon the first and second image, the method determines whether their content is expected to cause substantial discomfort to a viewer when displayed on the three dimensional display. At least one of the first and second images are modified based at least in part on a physical value related to the pixel pitch of the display, in such a manner to reduce the expected discomfort to the viewer.

  • Publication number: 20100322513
    Abstract: An image enhancement technique that includes a filter that receives an image and generates a filtered image primarily including lower frequency content and sharp edges of the image. A skin color processing is based upon the filtered image to enhance skin tone regions of the image. A sky color processing is based upon the filtered image to enhance sky color regions of the image. A combiner calculates an output image based upon the skin color processing, the sky color processing, and higher frequency content of the image.

  • Publication number: 20100284614
    Abstract: An image enhancement technique includes a filter that receives an input image and provides a low-pass filtered image that maintains a substantial number of edges therein. The low pass filtered image is provided a likelihood of being a sky color for each pixel of the low pass filtered image. The low-pass filtered image is filtered based upon a user selection to selectively enhance the sky color. The low-pass filtered image and the filtered low-pass filtered image are blended based upon the user selection based upon the likelihood. The blended image is combined with a high pass filtered input image to provide an enhanced image.
