Patent ID: 8264542

Claim:
An apparatus for image processing in a multiview video environment comprising: one or more processors; and one or more memories including software configured to, with the one or more processors, cause the apparatus to perform at least the following: receive first video signals from a first camera and detect at least one region of interest (ROI) in a first image related to the first video signals; utilize a first lookup table to generate an attribute value in response to a type of a block, wherein the type of a block is related to a first vanishing point defined in the first image; identify a first point “p” most close to the first vanishing point, a second point “q” most remote to the first vanishing point and a length “h” between the first point “p” and the second point “q” in each of the at least one ROI, and generate first information on p, q and h; utilize a second lookup table to generate second information on p′, q′ and h′ in response to the first information, wherein p′ is a first point most close to a second vanishing point defined in a second image related to a second camera, q′ is a second point most remote to the second vanishing point and h′ is a length between the first point p′ and the second point q′ in each of at least one ROI in the second image; and transform each of the at least one ROI in the first image into an ROI in the second image based on the second lookup table.
