Embodiment Construction

[0042] The term 3-D or 3D is used to describe a visual representation or display technique aimed at reproducing 3D images or video with the optical illusion of depth. For the left-eye image and the right-eye image, the viewer's visual cortex recognizes the two images as one 3D image.

[0043] 3D display technology is employed for 3D image processing and display by devices capable of displaying 3D images. Alternatively, devices capable of displaying 3D images may have to use dedicated viewing devices in order to effectively provide 3D images to the viewer.

[0044] Examples of devices capable of displaying 3D images include liquid crystal displays (LCDs), digital televisions, computer monitors, etc. equipped with hardware and / or software adapted to support 3D display technology. Examples of dedicated viewing devices are dedicated glasses, goggles, head gear, eyewear, and the like.

[0045] Specifically, 3D image display technologies include: red-green eye anaglyph (usually us...

Abstract

The present invention provides a stereoscopic image reproducing apparatus which provides a user interface (UI) appropriate for a 3D image signal, comprising: a user interface generating unit which generates the user interface; a UI-scaling unit which scales the generated UI in accordance with the mode of the 3D image signal; a first storage unit which stores the scaled UI together with a first position value; a second storage unit which copies the UI stored in the first storage unit, and stores the copied UI together with a second position value in accordance with the mode of the 3D image signal; and an integrated storage unit which integrates the UIs stored in the first storage unit and in the second storage unit in accordance with the position value of each of the UIs, and stores the integrated UIs. Preferably, the UI-scaling unit performs a downscaling process for reducing the generated UI in the horizontal direction when the 3D image signal has a side-by-side mode. In addition, the UI-scaling unit preferably performs a downscaling process for reducing the generated UI in the vertical direction when the 3D image signal has a top-down mode. The present invention thereby provides a user interface which causes no distortion in a stereoscopic image display.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for reproducing a three-dimensional image, and in particular, to an apparatus and method for displaying a user interface (UI) in a three-dimensional image. Background technique [0002] Recently, as interest in three-dimensional (3D) image services has increased, devices capable of providing 3D images have been continuously developed. A stereoscopic method is one of methods for realizing a 3D image. [0003] The basic principle of the stereo method is that images set to be perpendicular to each other enter the left and right eyes of a person independently, and a stereoscopic image is generated by combining these images in the human brain. Here, setting these images to be perpendicular to each other means that these images do not cause interference with each other. [0004] Some specific methods used to eliminate interference include polarimetric, temporal, and spectral methods. [0005] First,...
