Ghost-compensation for improved stereoscopic projection
First Claim
1. A method for reducing visual ghost artifacts in plano-stereoscopic image transmissions, comprising:
- dividing a hypothetical screen representation into a plurality of regions corresponding to regions on a projection screen;
computing at least one ghost artifact coefficient depending upon expected ghosting within an associated region established by said dividing, each ghost artifact coefficient representing ghost artifacts leaking from a left eye image into a right eye image and from the right eye image into the left eye image;
applying at least one ghost artifact coefficient for a left eye projected image to a right eye projected image to form a compensated right eye projected image; and
removing the compensated right eye projected image from the right eye projected image.

Abstract
A method and system for reducing ghost images in plano-stereoscopic image transmissions is provided. The method comprises establishing a plurality of expected ghosting profiles associated with a plurality of predetermined regions on a screen, and compensating for leakage in each predetermined region of a projected left and right eye images by removing an amount of ghost images leaking from the projected left eye image into the projected right eye image and vice versa. The system comprises a processor configured to receive the quantity of ghost artifacts and compute ghost compensation quantities for left eye images and right eye images. The processor is further configured to remove an amount of actual image ghost artifacts leaking from a projected left eye image into a projected right eye image and vice versa. The processor is also configured to compute ghost compensation quantities for each of a plurality of zones, each zone corresponding to a region on a screen having an expected ghosting profile associated therewith.
