Abstract

A method is used for compensating a boundary of an image, in which each scan line in the image is shifted by a corresponding line shift amount. The method determines a boundary region for the image and moves each pixel in a scan line from an original position to a new position within the boundary region, in which the new position is determined according to the width of the boundary region, the original position, and a line shift amount, and the scan line is shifted by the line shift amount. Then, the method interpolates at least one pixel into the scan line according to the moved pixels for generating a compensated image.

Claims (18)

1. A method for compensating a boundary of a video image, wherein each scan line in the video image is shifted by a corresponding line shift amount, the method comprising:

determining a boundary region for the video image;

moving each pixel in a scan line from an original position to a new pixel position within the boundary region, wherein the new pixel position is determined through a boundary compensator of a video processing system according to the width of the boundary region, the original position, and a line shift amount, wherein the scan line is shifted by the line shift amount; and

interpolating at least one pixel into the scan line according to the moved pixels for generating a compensated video image,

wherein the new pixel position is evaluated as the following:

P new =P ori1 +D shift ×P ori1 ÷N

Wherein P new represents the new position, P ori1 represents the original position before the scan line is shifted by the line shift amount, D shift represents the line shift amount, and N represents the width of the boundary region.

2. The method for compensating a boundary of a video image as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the line shift amount, the width of the boundary region, the original positions and the new position are evaluated in pixels.

3. The method for compensating a boundary of an video image as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the at least one interpolated pixel is generated by mixing at least two adjacent moved pixels.

4. A video processing system for compensating a boundary of an image, wherein each scan line in the image is shifted by a corresponding line shift amount, and the video processing system comprises:

a boundary detector for determining a boundary region for the image;

a boundary compensator for, within the boundary region, moving each pixel in a scan line from an original position to a new position, wherein the new position is determined through the boundary compensator according to the width of the boundary region, the original position, and a line shift amount, wherein the scan line is shifted by the line shift amount; and

a pixel interpolator for interpolating at least one pixel into the scan line according to the moved pixels for generating a compensated image,

wherein the boundary compensator evaluates the new position is evaluated as the following:

P new =P ori1 +D shift ×P ori1 ÷N

Wherein P new1 represents the new position, P ori1 represents the original position before the scan line is shifted by the line shift amount, D shift represents the line shift amount, and N represents the width of the boundary region.

5. The video processing system for compensating a boundary of an image as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the line shift amount, the width of the boundary region, the original position and the new position are evaluated in pixels.

6. The video processing system for compensating a boundary of an image as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the image is for left or right eye.
