Availability of 3D content and/or automatic conversion of existing 2D
content into 3D is an essential element for the success of 3D in
mass consumer markets. That’s why we are developing tools for
automated 2D-3D conversion of existing video material, and for
specialized 3D content creation. Automated 2D-to-3D conversion These tools rely on automatic depth computation from the ordinary video by analyzing the image – motion, luminance, texture differences - and estimating a depth map. Based on the quality of the computed depth map, the appropriate depth gain is applied to create the 3D effect. The easy-to-use tools allow designers to profit from their creativity in content creation by automating a large part of the work with no compromise in high-quality standards. Specialized 3D content creation To accelerate the creation of movies and 3D content designed for Philips 3D displays even more, we are also developing and marketing tools and software to support the movie industry and creative agencies to upgrade their legacy video and film content to 3D by adding depth information in the picture in post-production.
