Patent US8160390 - Minimal artifact image sequence depth enhancement system and method - Google Patents
Motion picture scenes to be colorized/depth enhanced (2D→3D) are broken into separate elements, backgrounds/sets or motion/onscreen-action. Background and motion elements are combined into composite frame which becomes a visual reference database that includes data for all frame offsets used later...http://www.google.com/patents/US8160390?utm_source=gb-gplus-sharePatent US8160390 - Minimal artifact image sequence depth enhancement system and method
