Solution Overview

Problem

Current technologies face challenges in reducing the amount of data processing required for high-definition naked-eye 3D imaging, which involves generating high-resolution left-eye and right-eye views.

Innovation Solution

The method involves processing a 2D image to generate a first view and a second view, where the image quality of the first view is lower than that of the second view. This is achieved by processing the first image at a lower resolution for the first view and at a higher resolution for the second view, leveraging the human brain's ability to fill in missing content.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Manufacturing precision

If high resolution is used for both left-eye and right-eye views, then 3D image quality is improved, but data processing amount increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improve3D image qualityVSAvoiddata processing amount
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies different resolution qualities to different views: one view (first view) is processed at lower resolution while the other view (second view) is processed at higher resolution. This local differentiation in quality allows the system to maintain overall 3D image quality while reducing the total data processing amount, as the human brain can compensate for the lower quality in one view through the high quality in the other view

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Manufacturing precision

If high resolution is used for both views, then image quality is improved, but processing time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimage qualityVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

By processing one view at lower resolution and the other at higher resolution, the patent reduces the total processing time while maintaining acceptable image quality. The lower resolution processing for one view significantly reduces computational time, and the human visual system compensates for this reduction through the high quality of the other view

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

AI summary

An image processing method includes: obtaining a first image, the first image being a two-dimensional (2D) image; and processing the first image to obtain a first view and a second view, the first view corresponding to a first viewpoint, the second view corresponding to a second viewpoint, and an image quality of the first view is lower than an image quality of the second view. The first view and the second view are used to achieve three-dimensional (3D) image output.
