Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A system and method for combining and/or displaying text with three-dimensional content. The system and method inserts text at the same level as the highest depth value in the 3D content. One example of 3D content is a two-dimensional image and an associated depth map. In this case, the depth value of the inserted text is adjusted to match the largest depth value of the given depth map. Another example of 3D content is a plurality of two-dimensional images and associated depth maps. In this case, the depth value of the inserted text is continuously adjusted to match the largest depth value of a given depth map. A further example of 3D content is stereoscopic content having a right eye image and a left eye image. In this case the text in one of the left eye image and right eye image is shifted to match the largest depth value in the stereoscopic image. Yet another example of 3D content is stereoscopic content having a plurality of right eye images and left eye images. In this case the text in one of the left eye images or right eye images is continuously shifted to match the largest depth value in the stereoscopic images. As a result, the system and method of the present disclosure produces text combined with 3D content wherein the text does not obstruct the 3D effects in the 3D content and does not create visual fatigue when viewed by a viewer.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method for combining text with three-dimensional image content to prevent obstruction in a three-dimensional image, the method comprising: receiving three-dimensional image content; determining a maximum depth value of the three-dimensional content; and combining text with the three-dimensional image content at the maximum depth value.
