Apparatus and method for converting 2D content into 3D content
First Claim
1. A method of converting two-dimensional (2D) video contents into three-dimensional (3D) video contents by using a content converting apparatus, the method comprising:
- determining an object to be extracted from a plurality of frames which include 2 D contents;
selecting at least one key frame from among the plurality of frames based on a degree of completeness of a shape of the object contained in the frame;
extracting the object from the selected at least one key frame;
assigning a depth for conversion into 3 D contents to the extracted object; and
performing tracking upon all of the plurality of frames except for the selected at least one key frame.

Abstract
Disclosed are an apparatus and method for converting video contents, each of which converts 2D contents into 3D contents. The method includes: determining an object to be extracted from a plurality of frames which contain 2D contents; determining a respective possession degree of information about the object to be extracted, with regard to each of the plurality of frames; selecting at least one key frame from among the plurality of frames in accordance with the determined possession degrees of information about the object to be extracted; extracting an object with regard to the selected key frame; assigning depth for conversion into 3D contents to the object to be extracted; and performing tracking upon all but the key frame from among the plurality of frames. Accordingly, the 2D-3D conversion can be performed with high accuracy and reliability.
