Design and Implementation of Stereoscopic Image Generation

Abstract

In this paper, we proposed the design and implementation of a new stereoscopic image generation system. In the conventional system, the smoothness of depth map can reduce the incidence of image holes, but cause geometric distortions of the image depth. To solve the problems, the depth map is first refined to increase the accuracy of image depth and the quality of images. Next, we derive a hardware-oriented method for 3D warping and improve hole-filling procedures to enhance the performance of image. Finally, the circuit design is presented according to the proposed stereoscopic image generation system to achieve real-time applications. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed system can improve by 10–27% when compared to existing methods.
