1. A method for enhancing a two-dimensional (2D) image, comprising:
- performing spatial filtering on the 2D image to generate an edge map;
performing weighted filtering on the edge map to generate a depth map, wherein the depth map can be used to convert the 2D image to a three-dimensional (3D) image; and
enhancing the 2D image using the depth map.

Abstract
In accordance with at least some embodiments of the present disclosure, a process for enhancing a two-dimensional (2D) image is described. The process may include generating a depth map for the 2D image based on edges detected from the 2D image, wherein the depth map can be used to convert the 2D image to a 3D image. The process may further include enhancing the 2D image using the depth map.

11. A method for enhancing a two-dimensional (2D) video, comprising:
-
extracting a 2D image from the 2D video; generating a depth map associated with the 2D image; de-interlacing the 2D image to generate a de-interlaced 2D image; performing noise reduction on the de-interlaced 2D image to generate a noise-reduced 2D image; enhancing contrast of the noise-reduced 2D image to generate a contrast-enhanced 2D image using the depth map; enhancing color of the contrast-enhanced 2D image to generate a color-enhanced 2D image using the depth map; enhancing sharpness of the color-enhanced 2D image to generate a sharpness-enhanced 2D image; and scaling the sharpness-enhanced 2D image to generate an enhanced 2D image. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14)
