  • Publication number: 20110090318
    Abstract: A method for generating a 3D image utilizes a background image and an object image. A camera is used for capturing a 2D image including the background image and the object image. The object image is obtained from the 2D image according the background image. Then, an image from a first angle of view and an image from a second angle of view are generated by rendering the background image and the object image. So, the 3D image is generated by interweaving the image from the first angle of view and the image from the second angle of view.

  • Publication number: 20110050758
    Abstract: In a display system, sums of differences between two consecutive frames are calculated according to differences, which are able to indicate a degree of difference between frames, such as pixel differences or luminance differences. A motion proportion is calculated according to various values of sums of differences of different blocks between frames, so that the degree of difference between the two consecutive frames may be indicated more concretely. At last, according to settings of a lookup table, different motion proportions may respectively correspond to different frame rates and different displaying states for displaying a frame under different requirements, so that the aim of saving power consumption without reducing display quality of frames is fulfilled.
