Abstract:
Provided is an image processing device including a congruence degree detecting unit which detects a degree of congruence of each of multiple scenes with respect to an input image made of a two-dimensional image, a depth image generating unit which generates, with respect to the input image, depth images each obtained by a technique corresponding to each of the scenes, a blending unit which blends the depth images, which are generated by the depth image generating unit and each generated by a technique corresponding to each of the scenes, at a blending ratio based on the degree of congruence of each of the scenes, to generate a blended depth image, and a three-dimensional image generating unit which generates a three-dimensional image, which can be viewed three-dimensionally, made of a left-eye image and a right-eye image generated by shifting each pixel of the input image using the blended depth image.
Abstract:
An image processing apparatus that outputs, if three-dimensional stereoscopically viewable left-eye and right-eye images are not alternately supplied at accurate timings, only one of the three-dimensional stereoscopically viewable left-eye or right-eye image when the three-dimensional stereoscopically viewable left-eye and right-eye images are supplied.
Abstract:
There is provided an image display apparatus which automatically detects a picture defect and shifts an image region to eliminate the picture defect. The image display apparatus includes a memory unit for temporarily storing an input image signal, a memory control unit for controlling a readout start address for the memory unit, a display unit to which the image signal read out of the memory unit is supplied, a detection unit of an aspect ratio of the input image signal, and an address control signal generation unit to which an aspect ratio detection output is supplied from the detection unit and which generates a readout start address control signal for the memory unit from the input image signal. When the input image signal having an aspect ratio different from an aspect ratio of image screen display of the display unit is supplied, a readout start address is controlled on the basis of the address control signal generated by the address control signal generation unit. By this, an image region is automatically shifted and a picture defect is prevented without changing the aspect ratio of the input image signal when an object is a human figure.
Abstract:
The present invention provides an image signal processing apparatus and a method thereof in which each of the fields forming the unit-frame is specified, with respect to the inputted image signal, based on a difference value calculated in signal level between a detected pixel in a current field and a detected pixel at the same position in a field which comes one frame behind the current field, a motion vector for a field which comes two frames behind the current field is detected, with respect to the detected pixel in the current field, the detected pixel is shifted, with respect to the specified first field, in a direction opposite to the motion vector within the range of the detected motion vector, the detected pixel is shifted, with respect to the specified fourth field, in a direction along the motion vector, and the detected pixels is shifted, with respect to the specified second and third fields, so as to make the pixels gradually closer to the pixel position shifted with respect to the fourth field, in the consecutive order of the fields from the first field, in the direction along the motion vector or in the direction opposite to the motion vector.
Abstract:
This invention relates to a video signal converter, a conversion method of video signal, respectively suitable to be applied when a video signal according to National Television System Committee (NTSC) is illustratively converted to a video signal corresponding to an extended graphics array (XGA), an image display unit using the converter and conversion method, and a television receiver. A signal in each field of a video signal SNT according to NTSC in which the number of lines is 252.5 (effective line number is 240) is converted to a signal in each frame of a video signal SXG corresponding to XGA in which the number of lines is 840 (effective line number is 768). A video signal converter is composed of an image adaptive double-speed conversion circuit for converting a video signal SNT to a video signal S2N according to an interlaced scanning method in which the number of lines is doubled and an interpolation circuit for converting the video signal S2N to a video signal SXG. A video signal S2N acquired by image adaptive conversion processing is a video signal of high image quality. A video signal SXG acquired by interpolation processing based upon the video signal S2N is a video signal of high image quality free of the deterioration of the quality of an image, compared with a video signal SXG acquired only by interpolation processing based upon a video signal SNT.
