Patent Images
1. In an image pre-processor, a method for processing 2-dimensional image content having a plurality of scenes, comprising the steps of:
- determining how many scenes exist within the image content;
determining complexity of each scene;
adding the scene complexities to a boundary complexity value to yield an overall complexity value indicative of the complexity of converting of image content from 2-dimensions to 3-dimensions; and
calculating a cost of conversion and likely success rate of the image content from 2-dimensions to 3-dimensions.

Abstract
Automatic determination of the complexity associated with converting image content from 2-dimensions to 3-dimensions commences by first determining how many different scenes exist within the image content. Each scene then undergoes analysis to determine its complexity based on the motion, texture and occlusion within the scene. The scene complexities are added to the scene transition complexity and the total gets weighted to yield an overall indication of the complexity of converting of image content from 2-dimensions to 3-dimensions.
