In this paper, An algorithm which converts 2D video frames into 3D video frames of parallel looking stereo camea is proposed. The proposed algorithm finds the disparity information between two consecutive video frames and generates 3D video frames from the obtained disparity maps. The disparity information is obtained from the modified iterative convergence algorithm. The method of generating 3D video frames from the disparity information is also proposed. The proposed algorithm uses coherence method which overcomes the video pattern based algorithms.

An efficient control parameter extraction scheme required for auto-focusing control of a stereo camera is proposed. Without loss of generality, it is assumed that an interesting object exists in the center of a captured image by a stereo camera. In such a case. we apply a 2-dimensional wavelet transform to the center area with specific image size in the captured image. Next, we extract required focus control parameters using an Ll-norm for doubly high-pass filtered components. Experimental results show that the proposed scheme is effectively applicable to the auto-focusing for a stereo camera compared to the conventional control scheme using discrete cosine transform (DCT).

Recently, 3D displays are supplied in the 3D markets so that the demand for 3D stereoscopic contents increases. In general, a simple method is to use a stereoscopic camera. As well, the production of 3D from 2D materials is regarded as an important technology. Such conversion works have gained much interest in the field of 3D converting. However, the stereoscopic image generation from a single 2D image is limited to simple 2D to 3D conversion so that the better realistic perception is difficult to deliver to the users. This paper presents a new stereoscopic content production method where foreground objects undergo alive action events. Further stereoscopic animation is viewed on 3D displays. Given a 2D image, the production is composed of background image generation, foreground object extraction, object/background depth maps and stereoscopic image generation The alive objects are made using the geometric transformation (e.g., translation, rotation, scaling, etc). The proposed method is performed on a Korean traditional painting, Danopungjung as well as Pixar's Up. The animated video showed that through the utilization of simple object transformations, more realistic perception can be delivered to the viewers.

Recently, RGB images and depth maps have been supplied to academic fields. The depth maps are utilized to the generation of stereoscopic images in the diverse formats according to the users' preference. A variety of methods that use depth maps have been introduced so far. One of applications is a medical field. In this area, the improvement of the perceptual quality of 2D medical images has gained much interest. In this paper, we propose a novel scheme that expands the conventional method to 3D stereoscopic image, thereby achieving the perceptual depth quality improvement as well as 3D stereoscopic perception enhancement at the same time. For this, contrast transformation as well as depth darkening are proposed and their performance is validated through the subjective test. Subjective experiments peformed for stereoscopic enhancement as well as visual fatigue validate that the proposed method achieves better 3D perception than the usage of the original stereoscopic image and suggests the limitation in terms of the visual fatigue.

3D conversion technology has been studied over past decades and integrated to commercial 3D displays and 3DTVs. The 3D conversion plays an important role in the augmented functionality of three-dimensional television (3DTV), because it can easily provide 3D contents. Generally, depth cues extracted from a static image is used for generating a depth map followed by DIBR (Depth Image Based Rendering) rendering for producing a stereoscopic image. However except some particular images, the existence of depth cues is rare so that the consistent quality of a depth map cannot be accordingly guaranteed. Therefore, it is imperative to make a 3D conversion method that produces satisfactory and consistent 3D for diverse video contents. From this viewpoint, this paper proposes a novel method with applicability to general types of image. For this, saliency as well as edge is utilized. To generate a depth map, geometric perspective, affinity model and binomic filter are used. In the experiments, the proposed method was performed on 24 video clips with a variety of contents. From a subjective test for 3D perception and visual fatigue, satisfactory and comfortable viewing of 3D contents was validated.

In this paper, we propose the algorithm using optical flow and machine learning-based segmentation for the 3D conversion of 2D video. For the segmentation allowing the successful 3D conversion, we design a new energy function, where color/texture features are included through machine learning method and the optical flow is also introduced in order to focus on the regions with the motion. The depth map are then calculated according to the optical flow of segmented regions, and left/right images for the 3D conversion are produced. Experiment on various video shows that the proposed method yields the reliable segmentation result and depth map for the 3D conversion of 2D video.

최근 3DTV 등의 3D 디스플레이의 공급으로 기존의 입체 콘텐츠뿐만 아니라, 일반 2D 영상도 자동적으로 입체 콘텐츠로 변환하여 3D로 시청할 수 있다. 이러한 콘텐츠를 시청할 때에 주로 사용하는 3D 디스플레이에는 자체적인 UI를 내장하고 있는데, 입체 모드에서의 이러한 UI를 3D로 변환하여 사용할 수 있는 3D UI기술에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있다. 본 논문에서는, 3D UI의 관심도 증가에 따라 좀 더 편리하고 이해도가 높은 3D UI의 개발 방법에 대하여 제안한다. Directshow를 이용하여, 문자와 UI 배경을 합성한다. 여기에 UI의 투명도, 시차, 밝기 등을 조절 가능하게 하여 사용자의 편의에 따라 선택할 수 있게 한다. 사전에 입체로 제작된 실험 영상을 실행하여 그 위에 메뉴 화면, 메뉴 글씨 등을 띄워 입체감 있는 3D UI를 제작, 증강을 체험할 수 있는 3D UI 플레이어를 구현한다.

In this paper, we propose a method to convert 2D image to 3D anaglyph using quadratic & cubic B$\acute{e}$zier Curves in HTML5. In order to convert 2D image to 3D anaglyph image, we filter the original image to extract the RGB color values and create two images for the left and right eyes. Users are to set up the depth values of the image through the control point using the quadratic and cubic B$\acute{e}$zier curves. We have processed the depth values of 2D image based on this control point to create the 3D image conversion reflecting the value of the control point which the users select. All of this work has been designed and implemented in Web environment in HTML5. So we have made it for anyone who wants to create their 3D images and it is very easy and convenient to use.
