Abstract

Color video algorithm, which permits to convert 2D video sequence to 3D one, is presented. Optical flow approach based on differential technique and warping theory is used, obtaining the disparity estimation from two frames in a color video sequence, and finally, the estimation of the depth map. Formed depth map is employed in construction of 3D video sequence by means of an anaglyph employment. The depth map manipulation via P-th law compression is used permitting to avoid ghosting in anaglyph synthesis. The results of the proposed 3D reconstruction method are compared with the same obtained by Photoshop algorithm demonstrating better performance of the proposal. Numerous simulation experiments with several color video sequences have confirmed good visual performance of novel framework in reconstruction of 3D sequences.
