3D video conversion system based on depth information extraction

Abstract

3D movies have received more and more attention in recent years. However, the investment in making 3D movies is high and difficult, which restricts its development. And there are many existing 2D movie resources, and how to convert it into 3D movies is also a problem. Therefore, this paper proposes a 3D video conversion system based on depth information extraction. The system consists of four parts: segmentation of movie video frame sequences, extraction of frame image depth information, generation of virtual multi-viewpoint and synthesis of 3D video. The system can effectively extract the depth information of the movie and by it finally convert a 2D movie into a 3D movie.
