2D–to–Stereo 3D Conversion Using Depth Maps
For 2D–to–stereo 3D conversion, YUVsoft’s products explicitly use depth maps. Such approaches have proven their practicality and versatility in a number of projects for 2D-to-3D conversion of theatrical movies. Explicit depth maps greatly simplify depth grading and dynamic change of parallax when creating different releases.
- 2d to 3d conversion
The resulting stereo video is generated from semiautomatically constructed depth maps and original 2D video.
The key steps of our 2D-to-2D+Depth conversion process are
- Automatically create plausible depth maps for a scene
- Select and edit the best depth maps for a few frames, making these frames key frames; the depth map for other frames is mostly generated automatically
- Rotoscope critical foreground objects where necessary
- Use depth propagation to protract semiautomatically generated depth maps of selected frames to entire scene
- Refine depth using special brushes or other manual editing tools and repeat propagation until acceptable quality is achieved; results are evaluated by generating stereo for intermediate depth maps
