Method of converting two-dimensional image into three-dimensional image
First Claim
1. A method of converting a two-dimensional image into a three-dimensional image, comprising the steps of:
- taking a two-dimensional image which is constitute by a plurality of frame images which are continuous in time as an image for one eye, while taking a two-dimensional image obtained by shifting said image for one eye by N frames, where N includes the number zero and is not a fixed number, as an image for the other eye, therein to produce a three-dimensional image, wherein said N which is a frame difference is adjusted for each switching of scenes on the two-dimensional image.

Abstract
A two-dimensional image which is constitute by a plurality of frame images which are continuous in time is taken as an image for one eye, while a two-dimensional image obtained by shifting the frame image by N frames (N includes zero and is not fixed), thereby to produce a three-dimensional image. For example, the two-dimensional image is not changed, that is, the frame difference (N) is adjusted to "0" with respect to a portion of the two-dimensional image whose content is not easily converted into a three-dimensional image, while the frame difference (N) is adjusted to (N) larger than (N) for a normal three-dimensional image with respect to a portion of the two-dimensional image whose content is very easily converted into a three-dimensional image, thereby to give further three-dimensional feeling to a viewer as well as reduce the fatigue of the eyes of the viewer.

-
taking a two-dimensional image which is constituted by a plurality of frame images which are continuous in time as an image for one eye, while taking a two-dimensional image obtained by shifting said image by N frames, where N includes the number zero and is not a fixed number, as an image for the other eye, and gradually changing said N which is a frame difference so that the image for one eye and the image for the other eye have frame images on which a common scene is projected at a changed point of scenes on the two-dimensional image. - View Dependent Claims (5, 6, 7, 8)
