Solution Overview

Problem

Multi-view stereoscopic image displays face challenges with large data storage and transmission bandwidth requirements due to limited resolution partitioning, which affects image quality and user experience.

Innovation Solution

A dual stereoscopic image display method that separates background and foreground images from multi-view stereoscopic data, outputting the background at a higher resolution and the foreground at a lower resolution, and synchronizing them for improved image quality and efficient storage and transmission.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If multi-view stereoscopic image data is displayed using traditional binocular or multi-view imaging types, then stereoscopic effect and user convenience are improved, but data storage space and transmission bandwidth requirements increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestereoscopic effectVSAvoiddata storage space
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments multi-view stereoscopic image data into two distinct components: background image data and foreground object image data. This segmentation allows each component to be processed and stored separately, enabling more efficient data management. The background image, which has less variation across different views, can be stored with lower resolution or fewer views, while the foreground objects receive higher resolution treatment, thus reducing overall storage requirements while maintaining stereoscopic quality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies local quality by assigning different resolution levels and processing methods to different regions of the image. Specifically, foreground objects are rendered with high resolution and multiple view directions to preserve detailed stereoscopic information, while background areas use lower resolution with fewer view directions since they exhibit less visual field variation. This localized quality differentiation significantly reduces total data storage needs while maintaining perceived image quality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Adaptability or versatility

If limited resolution is partitioned according to direction in multi-view stereoscopic image display, then multiple view images are provided, but overall image quality deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenumber of view imagesVSAvoidimage quality
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by assigning different resolution levels and processing methods to different regions of the image. Specifically, foreground objects are rendered with high resolution and multiple view directions to preserve detailed stereoscopic information, while background areas use lower resolution with fewer view directions since they exhibit less visual field variation. This localized quality differentiation significantly reduces total data storage needs while maintaining perceived image quality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the parameters of image processing by applying different resolution levels, view direction counts, and processing algorithms to different image components. Background images use lower resolution parameters with fewer view directions, while foreground objects use higher resolution parameters with more view directions. This parameter differentiation allows the system to provide multiple view images without uniformly sacrificing overall image quality.

AI summary

Disclosed herein are dual stereoscopic image display apparatus and method. The dual stereoscopic image display method is performed by a dual stereoscopic image display apparatus, and includes separating a background image including a background and a foreground object image including a foreground object from multi-view stereoscopic image data, setting the background image so that the background image is output via a first display at a first resolution, and setting the foreground object image so that the foreground object image is output via a second display at a second resolution, and synchronizing the background image and the foreground object image into a single stereoscopic image via the first display and the second display, and outputting the stereoscopic image.
