20130278597 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR REAL-TIME CONVERSION OF VIDEO INTO THREE-DIMENSIONS - Disclosed herein are systems and methods for enhancing a sequence of video images to add depth and presenting the enhanced images to the user through a lenticular lens arrangement on a display screen for viewing the enhanced images in three-dimensions (3D). The embodiments include the application of image enhancing algorithms which measure spatial and temporal differences between sequential images in an input video stream in order to measure depth within the images and produce one or more interleaved images with depth. Multiple sequential interleaved images may then be created in real-time as the images from the video stream are received, and the sequence of interleaved images may then be presented immediately as a video stream on a display fitted with a lenticular lens to effectively display a 3D video to the user. | 2013-10-24 |
20130278598 | TEXTURE MAPPING DEVICE - An area information generating unit generates plural pieces of area information each showing a partial area of a texture image. A polygon information generating unit generates polygon information including plural pieces of vertex information and an area ID. A rendering unit carries out interpolation on the texture coordinates of the vertices of a polygon on an output image to assign texture coordinates to each pixel located inside the polygon, and further acquires area information by referring to the area ID added to the polygon information and converts the texture coordinates assigned to each pixel of the output image in such a way that the texture coordinates fall within the area. | 2013-10-24 |
20130278599 | TECHNIQUES FOR ENHANCING MULTIPLE VIEW PERFORMANCE IN A THREE DIMENSIONAL PIPELINE - Techniques may be directed to enhancing multiple view performance in a three dimensional pipeline. A plurality of view transformations associated with an image may be received. The vertex data associated with the image may be received. Operation data may be determined by performing the view transformations on the compiled vertex data. A plurality of display lists may be determined through a single run of a vertex pipeline. A display list may be based on the operation data. Other embodiments are described and claimed. | 2013-10-24 |
20130278600 | RENDERING INTERACTIVE PHOTOREALISTIC 3D MODEL REPRESENTATIONS - The present invention relates to a system, method, and apparatus that combine a novel specialized software program and a novel viewing program. The novel software program creates one or more photorealistic images of a 3D model at various camera angles. The novel viewing program allows the user to view the photorealistic images interactively directly on a web browser without third party proprietary software plugins. Also, the viewing program provides a novel approach to changing the colors of objects, by changing them dynamically. | 2013-10-24 |
