3D Video Processing Active Space Pixel Fixing for HDMI Compliance
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
3-D videos subjected to image processing may not meet standards like HDMI1.4a, leading to improper delivery or display and potential future compatibility issues.
Innovation Solution
A moving image processing device and method that acquires frame data with parallax images for both eyes across an active space, identifies the active space, and sets its pixel values to fixed values using synchronization signals or a database, ensuring compliance with HDMI1.4a standards.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If image processing is applied to 3-D videos, then image quality and processing capabilities are improved, but compliance with HDMI1.4a standards deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the frame data into distinct regions: the active space containing parallax images for left and right eyes, and the inactive space. By segmenting the data this way, the invention can apply image processing to the active space while maintaining standard-compliant fixed values in the inactive space, thus resolving the contradiction between processing quality and standard compliance
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies different processing characteristics to different parts of the frame data. The active space undergoes full image processing for quality enhancement, while the inactive space maintains fixed values to ensure standard compliance. This local differentiation allows simultaneous optimization of processing quality and standard adherence
2Productivity
If active space position is not accurately identified, then processing efficiency is improved, but display correctness deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses synchronization signals (Vsync and Hsync) as feedback references to accurately determine the active space position. The active space setting unit references these synchronization signals to correctly identify and set the active space, ensuring both accuracy and efficiency in the processing

AI summary
A moving image processing device is configured such that a frame data acquisition unit configured to acquire frame data in which a parallax image for the left eye and a parallax image for the right eye are arranged across an active space. An image processing unit configured to subject the frame data to image processing. An active space setting unit configured to identify the position of the active space processed by the image processing unit and to set the pixel values of the active space to be fixed values.
