  • Systems and methods for converting two-dimensional images into three-dimensional images
    Patent number: 9485497
    Abstract: Systems and methods for converting a two-dimensional image or sequence of images into a three-dimensional image or sequence of images are presented. In embodiments, the disclosed techniques employ a suite of interactive image processing tools that allow a user to apply image pixel repositioning depth contouring effects and algorithms to efficiently create high-quality three-dimensional images.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: November 1, 2016
    Assignee: RealD Inc.
    Inventors: Jonathan Karafin, Matthew Dejohn, Benoit Doidic
  • Methods and systems for pre-processing two-dimensional image files to be converted to three-dimensional image files
    Patent number: 8831273
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods and systems of efficiently, effectively, and accurately preparing images for a 2D to 3D conversion process by pre-treating occlusions and transparencies in original 2D images. A single 2D image, or a sequence of images, is ingested, segmented into discrete elements, and the discrete elements are individually reconstructed. The reconstructed elements are then re-composited and ingested into a 2D to 3D conversion process.
