efficient composition of a stereoscopic image for a 3-D TV
The present invention relates to a method for efficiently composing multiple images into one stereoscopic image comprising the steps of: (a) receiving a first image of said multiple images; (b) blending said first image with a mask, using a pixel base blender, for producing a first blended image; (c) receiving a second image of said multiple images; and (d) blending said second image with said first blended image, using a pixel base blender, for composing said stereoscopic image.
1 . A method for efficiently composing multiple images into one stereoscopic image comprising the steps of:
a. receiving a first image of said multiple images;
b, blending said first image with a mask, using a pixel base blender, for producing a first blended image;
c. receiving a second image of said multiple images; and
d. blending said second image with said first blended image, using a pixel base blender, for composing said stereoscopic image.
2 . A method according to claim 1 , where the mask is a checkerboard mask.
3 . A method according to claim 1 , where the mask is a line interleaved mask.
4 . A method according to claim 1 , where the blender, for blending the first image with a mask, performs the A atop B operation.
5 . A method according to claim 1 , where the blender for blending the first image with a mask performs the A in B operation.
6 . A method according to claim 1 , where the blender for blending the second image with the first blended image performs the A over B operation.
7 . A method according to claim 1 , where the first and second images belong to the AVC standard.
8 . A method according to claim 1 , where the mask is a predesigned mask stored in the system.
9 . A method for efficiently composing multiple images into one stereoscopic image comprising the steps of
a. receiving a first image of said multiple images;
b. receiving a second image of said multiple images;
c. blending said first image with second image, using a pixel base blender, for producing a first blended image;
d. blending said first blended image with a mask, using a pixel base blender, for producing a second blended image;
e. receiving a third image of said multiple images;
f. blending said third image with said second blended image, using a pixel base blender, for producing a third blended image;
g. receiving a fourth image of said multiple images; and
h. blending said fourth image with said third blended image, using a pixel base blender, for producing said stereoscopic image.
10 . A method according to claim 9 , where the mask is a checkerboard mask.
11 . A method according to claim 9 , where the mask is a line interleaved mask.
