Problems solved by technology

[0012] Furthermore, although some existing methods can be used to determine the depth of 3D image content, such existing methods cannot quickly and dynamically determine the depth of 3D image content
Traditional stereo matching methods cannot give accurate and consistent disparity results due to the inability of the method to adapt to time-varying image content
Therefore, the depth of 3D subtitles calculated based on traditional stereo matching methods may be inconsistent in time, which may cause discomfort for viewers.
Furthermore, conventional stereo matching methods cannot be used effectively and sufficiently reliably for automated and real-time computing applications

Embodiment Construction

[0045] Certain aspects and embodiments of the inventive inventive concepts disclosed herein relate to methods and systems for displaying a three-dimensional (3D) image with additional information, such as subtitles, at a certain position and depth according to the content of the 3D image. While the disclosed methods are generally applicable to any type of 3D stereoscopic display system, the methods are particularly applicable to 3D cinemas with immersive viewing environments.

[0046] In some embodiments, additional information (subtitles) is displayed at the same depth as the content in the displayed 3D image, or is otherwise displayed based on the depth. figure 2 One embodiment is depicted where the displayed depth of the subtitle element 214 is based on the depth of the main image object 106 in the 3D image. By displaying the subtitle element 214 at a depth based on the content of the 3D image, the viewer 104 can comfortably watch the 3D image and read the subtitle at the ...

Abstract

The present invention relates generally to methods and systems for the production of 3D motion picture subtitles adapted to image content for improved viewer experience. Some embodiments of the present invention relate to positioning subtitles at variable, scene-dependent depth. Certain aspects of the present invention may be applicable to general 3D display applications and / or digital projection of 3D motion pictures.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application Serial No. 61 / 200,725, filed December 1, 2008, entitled "Methods and Systems for Presenting Three-Dimensional Motion Pictures with Content Adaptive Three-Dimensional Subtitles," by The entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference. technical field [0003] The present disclosure relates generally to three-dimensional (3D) image processing, and more particularly, to processing images based on the content of the three-dimensional image to display additional information such as subtitles along with the three-dimensional image. Background technique [0004] Subtitles are the textual representation of dialogue and other audio content in motion graphics for a film, which has usually been translated into a different language from the original language of the film. Subtitles also include subtitles used to describe dialogue and sound effec...
