Abstract:
A two dimensional image which has a semitransparent object in the foreground of the image has three contributions to the final color shown in a pixel where the semitransparent object is present. Properties of a semitransparent object and background in the given two dimensional image are processed to determine the contribution of the background color of the image, the foreground color of the object, and the alpha channel of the object. Once these properties are determined, the accurate stereoscopic rendering of the semitransparent object in front of the background allows the two dimensional image to be converted to three dimensions.
Abstract:
There are two modes for binocular stereographic imaging: a two-take imaging mode in which a 3D image file is created from left and right two-point-of-view monocular images captured by two monocular imagings and is recorded and a one-take imaging mode in which a 3D image file is created from images of left and right points of view captured by one binocular imaging, and is recorded. As tag information in a header information section of a 3D image file, information on the mutual homogeneity of monocular images, that is, a homogeneity tag where which of the high-homogeneity one-take imaging mode and the low-homogeneity two-take imaging mode is used to capture the two monocular images is written is recorded in 3D metadata when a 3D image file is recorded. The 3D image file is handled as a minimum unit of 3D image handling. An image device creates such a 3D image file and records it. An image reproducing device reproduces such a 3D image file.
Abstract:
Die Erfindung betrifft ein System zum Verarbeiten von Bilddaten mit einer ersten Datenverarbeitungseinrichtung (10) zum Verarbeiten von Bilddaten von mindestens zwei Kameras (12, 14), wobei weiterzuverarbeitende Daten erzeugt werden, und einer zweiten Datenverarbeitungseinrichtung (16) zum Weiterverarbeiten der weiterzuverarbeitenden Daten; wobei die Funktionen der ersten Datenverarbeitungseinrichtung (10) im Wesentlichen auf speziell für die Funktionen konfigurierter Hardware basieren, und die Funktionen der zweiten Datenverarbeitungseinrichtung (16) im Wesentlichen auf speziell für die Funktionen konfigurierter Software basieren.
Abstract:
An optical viewing device comprising a panel (23) for use in combination with a two-dimensional display (11) of an anaglypic stereogram, the panel (23) being placed between the display and a viewer. The panel comprises a filter (14) and a lens system (12, 13). The filter (14) blocks a first one of the half images from passing through a first portion of the panel (23) whilst allowing the second half image to pass through the first portion and blocks the second half image from passing through a second portion of the panel (23) whilst allowing the first half image to pass through the second portion. The lens system refracts the second half image that passes through the first portion towards one eye of a user and refracts the first half image that passes through the second portion towards the other eye of the user.
Abstract:
An interactive imaging system (1) with a perception of depth includes at least two screens (2) configured to show a three dimensional image, where the user can manipulate the image via control means (3). The control means (3) can comprise touch screen controls, or means adjacent to the screens such as buttons, touchpads or a joystick. Image information may be transmitted over the Internet or other communication means. Applications include computer games and simulators. Advertising messages may be displayed on one screen while images are being displayed on other screens.
