  • Patent number: 9865083
    Abstract: An apparatus and a method for rendering three-dimensional stereoscopic images are provided. The apparatus comprises a multi-view processor, an object device, a depth device, and a block filling device. The multi-view processor obtains depth related data of a first pixel and a second pixel which are adjacent to each other on the input image, calculates a difference between the depth related data and determines whether the first pixel and the second pixel are continuous according to the difference. The object device executes a process of object detection to output contour information. The depth device executes a process of object judgment to output distance information. The block filling device detects a hole region in each viewpoint image, searches a search region adjacent to the hole region for a number of original pixels, and fills the hole region.

  • Patent number: 8698797
    Abstract: A method and a device for generating a multi-views three-dimensional (3D) stereoscopic image are based on displaying positions of target image elements of each view image of a multi-views 3D stereoscopic image in a 3D stereo display. Source image elements suitable to be displayed at each displaying position are obtained from a 2D-depth mixed image formed by combining a source 2D image and a corresponding depth map through an inverse view image searching manner, thereby generating a multi-views 3D stereoscopic image from the set target image elements for being displayed in the 3D stereo display.

  • Publication number: 20120105435
    Abstract: An apparatus and a method for rendering three-dimensional stereoscopic images are provided. The apparatus is for use in a three-dimensional image processing system which generates viewpoint images according to an input image and an input depth. The apparatus comprises an object device, a depth device, and a block filling device. The object device executes a process of object detection to output contour information according to the input image. The depth device executes a process of object judgment to output distance information according to the input depth. The block filling device detects a hole region in each viewpoint image, searches a search region adjacent to the hole region for a number of original pixels, and fills the hole region according to the original pixels, the contour information, and the distance information.
