Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The parallax range of stereoscopic images often mismatch the parallax range supported by stereoscopic display devices, leading to suboptimal 3D display effects and underutilization of the display device's parallax performance capability.
Innovation Solution
A method and system that adjust the parallax range of stereoscopic images by determining an offset value and direction for the horizontal coordinates of each pixel, shifting them to align the image's parallax range with the display device's supported range, thereby improving 3D display effects.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If the parallax range of stereoscopic images is fixed after generation, then the image processing is simple, but the parallax range may mismatch the display device's supported range, affecting 3D display effects
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by adjusting the parallax range of stereoscopic images before display. The system calculates the difference between the image's parallax range and the display device's supported range, then pre-adjusts the image data to ensure optimal 3D display effects. This prevents mismatch issues from occurring during actual display.
2Ease of operation
If the parallax range of stereoscopic images does not match the display device's supported range, then the image can be displayed without adjustment, but the display device's parallax performance capability is underutilized
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by making the parallax adjustment adaptive rather than fixed. The system dynamically determines the adjustment amount based on the specific mismatch between the image parallax range and the display device's supported range. This allows the system to optimize parallax performance utilization while maintaining simple operation through automated adjustment.
3Reliability
If the horizontal coordinates of pixels are shifted by offset values, then the parallax range alignment is improved, but additional processing steps are required
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies parameter changes by modifying the horizontal coordinate parameters of pixels through offset values. The system calculates appropriate offset values based on the parallax range mismatch and adjusts the pixel coordinates accordingly. This transforms the image data parameters to achieve proper alignment between the image parallax range and the display device's supported range.
