Abstract :
An efficient 2D to 3D video conversion method which utilizes the H.264 motion estimation process is proposed. The relationship between motion and depth was approximated via our non-linear scheme, that is based on the characteristics of 3D visual perception. Performance evaluations show that our approach outperforms other existing motion-based depth map estimation technique by 1.84 dB PSNR via providing more realistic depth information for the scene. Subjective comparisons also confirm the efficiency of our method.
