Abstract: According to one embodiment, a method of processing image data using a processor includes acquiring a motion history of areas of a frame image based on motion information for the areas determined by frame images comprised in one of scenes of a video and identifying a plurality of areas each having a similar motion as object areas comprising a same object.

Abstract: An electronic apparatus according to an embodiment is provided with circuitry to separate a video signal for stereoscopic video display into a first signal of a background and a second signal of a foreground, and to determinate a first maximum depth position and a first maximum projection position with respect to the first signal, and to determinate a second maximum depth position and a second maximum projection position with respect to the second signal.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, an image processing apparatus includes a first setting unit, a second setting unit, and a specifying unit. The first setting unit detects a position of at least a part of an object in an image so as to obtain, for one pixel or each of a plurality of pixels in the image, a first likelihood that indicates whether the corresponding pixel is included in a region where the object is present. The second setting unit obtains, for one pixel or each of a plurality of pixels in the image, a second likelihood indicating whether the pixel is a pixel corresponding to a 3D body by using a feature amount of the pixel. The a specifying unit specifies a region, in the image, where the object is present by using the first likelihood and the second likelihood.

Abstract: According to an embodiment, a stereoscopic video display device displays images for a plurality of view point directions on a displaying device while switching between the images at predetermined time intervals. The stereoscopic video display device includes a calculator configured to calculate a crosstalk amount of a first image for one view point direction, which is an image to be corrected, by using a pixel value of the first image, a pixel value of a second image for a view point direction different from that of the first image, the second image being an image to be displayed at a time before the first image, and characteristics data including response characteristics of the displaying device; and a corrector configured to correct the first image by using the crosstalk amount.

Abstract: There is provided a stereoscopic image displaying apparatus that displays a stereoscopic image to a viewer wearing glasses, in which the image displaying unit has a plurality of display pixels, the correcting unit corrects gray levels of pixels of the image signal for the right eye or the left eye, the writing unit writes the image signal corrected by the correcting unit, into the display pixels of the image displaying unit, the timing controlling unit controls timing to open and close the right and the left of the glasses in accordance with timing of the writing by the writing unit, and the correcting unit corrects the gray levels of the pixels of the image signal in accordance with a difference between the timing of the writing by the writing unit and the timing to open and close the right and the left of the glasses.

Abstract: According to an embodiment, an image processing apparatus creates a depth map representing distribution of depths of pixels in an image. The apparatus includes an area detecting unit configured to detect an area of a vertical object included in an image; a base depth adding unit configured to add a base depth to the image, the base depth being a basic distribution of depths of pixels in the image; and, a depth map creating unit configured to acquire at least one depth of a vicinity of a ground contact position of the vertical object from the base depth added to the image, and create the depth map by setting the acquired depth onto the base depth as a depth of the area of the vertical object.

Abstract: According to an embodiment, an image processing apparatus includes a detecting unit configured to detect at least one object included in an image; a selecting unit configured to select a depth model to be a base of information about depth of the object in accordance with a property of the object; a segment unit configured to segment an area of the object detected from the image; and a depth map creating unit configured to create a depth map representing a depth of the image. The depth map creating unit arranges the depth model at a position on the depth map corresponding to a position of the segmented area of the object in the image, compares an area of the depth model and the area of the object, and gives a corrected depth value to a position not superimposed on other.
