Patent ID: 8798160

Claim:
A method of adjusting parallax of a three-dimensional (3D) video, the method comprising: receiving an input of a 3D video sequence; determining whether a scene transition occurs between a previous frame and a current frame of the 3D video sequence; if it is determined that a scene transition occurs between the previous frame and the current frame, determining and comparing first depth information of a previous scene which comprises a first plurality of frames including the previous frame and second depth information of a current scene which comprises a second plurality of frames including the current frame; and based on a result of the comparing the first depth information and the second depth information, adjusting parallax between the previous scene and the current scene by selectively adjusting depth information of at least one of the first plurality of frames of the previous scene and the second plurality of frames of the current scene if a difference between the first depth information and the second depth information exceeds a predetermined threshold value.
