Deformed example 1

[0126] Figure 12 It is a block diagram showing a configuration example of the video processing device 101 according to Modification 1. In the present embodiment, the depth information is acquired separately from the video, but the video processing device 101 according to Modification 1 is configured to acquire the depth information through various calculations based on the video acquired by the video acquisition unit 111 . Specifically, since the configurations of the video acquisition unit 111 and the depth information acquisition unit 112 are different, the above differences will be mainly described below.

[0127] The video acquisition unit 111 acquires a video to be processed to improve the stereoscopic or depth perception, and outputs the acquired video to the video segmentation unit 13 and simultaneously outputs it to the depth information acquisition unit 112 .

[0128] The depth information acquisition unit 112 inputs the video output from the video acquisition unit ...

Deformed example 2

[0133] Figure 13 It is a block diagram showing a configuration example of the video processing device 201 according to Modification 2. In the present embodiment, the highlight information is acquired separately from the video, but the video processing device 201 according to Modification 2 is configured to acquire the highlight information through various calculations based on the video acquired by the video acquisition unit 211 . Specifically, since the configurations of the image acquisition unit 211 and the highlight information acquisition unit 214 are different, the above differences will be mainly described below.

[0134] The video acquisition unit 211 acquires a video of a video processing target to enhance a sense of stereoscopic or depth, especially a video of a moving image coded in units of objects such as a background and a person, and outputs the acquired video to the video segmentation unit 13, and at the same time It is output to the highlight information acq...

Deformed example 3

[0141] In the embodiment, a frame-shaped frame object H3 was exemplified as a depth-enhanced video for enhancing the depth of the video, but the video processing device 1 according to Modification 3 is configured to display a curtain object H301 instead of the frame object H3. Specifically, the video processing device 1 according to Modification 3 includes a curtain object generation unit (not shown) instead of the frame object generation unit 15 .

[0142] Figure 14 It is a schematic diagram showing a curtain object H301 as an example of a depth-enhanced video. The curtain object generation unit stores curtain objects H301 in the shape of curtains located on both sides of the video in the horizontal direction, and outputs the curtain objects H301 to the video synthesis unit 16 . The shape and color of the curtain object H301 are fixed regardless of the content of the video. In addition, obviously, the curtain object generation unit may also be configured to input the foreg...

Abstract

A video processing device which, without using a special video display apparatus and special glasses, can improve the perceived depth of video through image processing only. The video processing device (1) enhances the perceived depth of video acquired by a video acquisition unit (11) and is provided with: a depth information acquisition unit (12) which acquires depth information showing the distances in the depth direction of a plurality of video portions which are components of the video; a video dividing unit (13) which, based on the depth information acquired at the depth information acquisition unit (12) and based on the video, divides the video into a plurality of video portions having differing distances in the depth direction; and a video combining unit (16) which combines the video portions and a depth-enhancing image, so that a depth-enhancing video for enhancing the depth of the video is superposed over one of the video portions gained from division at the video dividing unit (13), and further so that the other video portion having a distance in the depth direction shorter than that one video portion is superposed over the depth-enhancing image.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a video processing device for enhancing the sense of depth of an input video, a video processing method, and a computer program for causing a computer to operate as the video processing device. Background technique [0002] Various techniques have been proposed for improving the three-dimensionality and depth of two-dimensional images displayed on video display devices such as televisions and mobile phones. For example, as one of methods for improving the sense of depth and depth, a stereoscopic viewing method utilizing binocular parallax has been proposed. The stereoscopic viewing method is a method of giving a sense of three-dimensionality or depth to a two-dimensional plane by sending parallax images for the left eye and parallax images for the right eye to the left and right eyes of the viewer, respectively, to give the viewer an illusion. [0003] Among the methods of sending the parallax image for the left eye an...
