Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A temporal smoothing apparatus and method for synthesizing an intermediate image, the apparatus including a disparity vector estimator which receives a previous image and a present images and generates a previous disparity vector and a present disparity vector for every image block of a predetermined size, and a temporal smoothing unit which receives the previous and present images and the previous and present disparity vectors and generates a temporally-smoothed disparity vector. The temporal smoothing unit generates a distinct temporally-smoothed disparity vector for each frame on the basis of a mean absolute difference (MAD) between the previous image and the present image, so that a flickering phenomenon of an intermediate image can be removed without deterioration of image quality by adaptively performing a temporal smoothing process in accordance with types of an image.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A temporal smoothing apparatus for synthesizing an intermediate image from a first and a second image, the apparatus comprising: a disparity vector estimator which receives previous images and present images of the first image and the second image and generates a previous disparity vector and a present disparity vector for every image block of a predetermined size; and a temporal smoothing unit which receives the previous and present images of one image of…
