Patent Images

1. A method for conversion using a processor of a series of two dimensional images into a series of three dimensional images comprising:

  • (a) said processor receiving said two dimensional images where each of said series of two dimensional images are from a same viewpoint, where said series of two dimensional images do not include any images from a viewpoint other than said same viewpoint;

    (b) said processor processing said two dimensional images all of which are from said same viewpoint and do not include any images from a viewpoint other than said same viewpoint to determine a depth map associated with said two dimensional images where all of said series of two dimensional images are from said same viewpoint, where said series of two dimensional images do not include any images from a viewpoint other than said same viewpoint;

    (c) said processor modifying at least four non-zero depths in said depth map in such a manner that said at least four non-zero depths of said depth map are changed from a first non-zero depth to a second non-zero depth based upon a concentration of a plurality of depths of said depth map;

    (d) processing said modified depth map to render said two dimensional images all of which are from the same viewpoint and do not include any images from a viewpoint other than said same viewpoint on a display as said three dimensional images;

    (e) rendering said two dimensional images all of which are from the same viewpoint and do not include any images from a viewpoint other than said same viewpoint based upon said processed depth map on a display.
