Real-time 3D rendering processor for 2D-to-3D conversion of stereoscopic displays

Since consumer electronic products grow rapidly, 3D display technology becomes popular in recent years. Now, there are more and more 3D products such as 3D camera, 3D projector, and 3D-TV. However, how to convert traditional 2D video contents to 3D one is a vital issue to solve it. This paper proposes a real-time 3D rendering processor for view synthesis in 2D-to-3D conversion. Moreover, the proposed fractional precision image warping and hole filling architecture can effectively decrease the output buffer size about 94.4% than the traditional. The real-time processor throughput can achieve up to 60 frames per second and full HD resolution (1920×1080) on stereoscopic displays.
