APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR GENERATING DEPTH INFORMATION
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for generating depth information comprising:
- receiving an input image comprising a plurality of frames;
identifying a first frame that is selected from the plurality of frames;
obtaining first depth information of a first object that is selected from the first frame;
selecting a second frame from the plurality of frames;
tracing a second object on the second frame based on the first object; and
generating second depth information of the second object from the first depth information based on a comparison result between a position of the first object on the first frame and a position of the second object on the second frame.

Abstract
A method for generating depth information includes: receiving an input image including a plurality of frames; identifying a first frame that is selected from the plurality of frames; obtaining first depth information of a first object that is selected from the first frame; selecting a second frame from the plurality of frames; tracing a second object from the second frame based on the first object; and generating second depth information of the second object from the first depth information based on a comparison result between a position of the first object on the first frame and a position of the second object on the second frame.

8. A method for generating depth information comprising:
-
receiving an input image comprising a plurality of frames; identifying a first frame that is selected from the plurality of frames; obtaining first depth information of a first object that is selected from the first frame; identifying a second frame that is selected from the plurality of frames; obtaining second depth information of a second object that is selected from the second frame; selecting a third frame from the plurality of frames; tracing a third object on the third frame based on the first object; and generating third depth information of the third object from the first and second depth information based on a comparison result between a position of the first object on the first frame and a position of the third object on the third frame and a comparison result between a position of the second object on the second frame and the position of the third object on the third frame. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 30)

15. An apparatus for generating depth information comprising:
-
a receiver which receives an input image comprising a plurality of frames; and a depth information generator which identifies a first frame that is selected from the plurality of frames, obtains first depth information of a first object that is selected from the first frame, selects a second frame from the plurality of frames, traces a second object on the second frame based on the first object, and generates second depth information of the second object from the first depth information based on a comparison result between a position of the first object on the first frame and a position of the second object on the second frame. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)

22. An apparatus for generating depth information comprising:
-
a receiver which receives an input image comprising a plurality of frames; and a depth information generator which identifies a first frame that is selected from the plurality of frames, obtains first depth information of a first object that is selected from the first frame, identifies a second frame that is selected from the plurality of frames, obtains second depth information of a second object that is selected from the second frame, selects a third frame from the plurality of frames, traces a third object on the third frame based on the first object, and generates third depth information of the third object from the first and second depth information based on a comparison result between a position of the first object on the first frame and a position of the third object on the third frame and a comparison result between a position of the second object on the second frame and the position of the third object on the third frame. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28)

31. A method for generating depth information comprising:
-
receiving an input image comprising a plurality of frames; identifying a first frame that is selected from the plurality of frames; obtaining first depth information of a first object that is selected from the first frame; selecting a second frame from the plurality of frames; tracing a second object, which is substantially similar to the first object, on the second frame; and generating second depth information of the second object from the first depth information based on a position difference between a position of the first object on the first frame and a position of the second object on the second frame. - View Dependent Claims (32)
