Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method of processing a 3D image data includes calculating shift values of gray-scales for a reference view using a 3D effect selection signal having a selection depth value of the 3D image inputted by a user. Shift values of the gray-scales respectively corresponding to a plurality of views are calculated using the shift values of the gray-scales for the reference view. The shift values of the gray-scales respectively corresponding to the plurality of views are applied to a source image signal to generate a plurality of image frames.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method of processing a three-dimensional (“3D”) image, the method comprising: receiving a source image; receiving a 3D image depth selection value from a user; calculating shift values for shifting the received source image based on the received 3D image depth selection value; and applying the calculated shift values to the source image signal to generate a 3D depth-adjusted image, wherein calculating the shift values of the gray-scales for the ref…
