Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Image sensors and a depth sensor of a monoscopic video sensing device are utilized to capture a 2D video and corresponding depth information. Regions of interest (ROIs) for the captured 2D video are selected based on the captured corresponding depth information. The monoscopic video sensing device selectively processes the captured 2D video and the captured corresponding depth information based on the selected ROIs. A 3D video is composed from the processed 2D video for display. The captured depth information that is synchronized to the captured 2D video is stored as metadata, and may be interpolated to match video resolution of the captured 2D video. The captured 2D video and the captured corresponding depth information are enhanced through scalable video coding. With 3D video rendering, relevant image/video components of the captured 2D video are selected based on the selected ROIs to compose the 3D video together with the corresponding depth information.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method, comprising: capturing a video via one or more image sensors of a monoscopic video sensing device; capturing corresponding depth information for said captured video via a depth sensor of said monoscopic video sensing device; synchronizing said captured corresponding depth information to said captured video; selecting one or more regions of interest in said captured video; and composing a modified video from said captured video and said captu…
