Abstract:
Stereoscopic image processing methods and apparatus are described. Left and right eye images of a stereoscopic frame are examined to determine if one or more difference reduction operations designed to reduce the luminance and/or chrominance differences between the left and right frames is within a range used to trigger a difference reduction operation. A difference reduction operation may involve assigning portions of the left and right frames to different depth regions and/or other region categories. A decision on whether or not to perform a difference reduction operation is then performed on a per regions basis with at the difference between the left and right eye portions of at least one region being reduced when a difference reduction operation is to be performed. The difference reduction process may, and in some embodiments is, performed in a precoder which processes left and right eye images of stereoscopic frames prior to stereoscopic encoding.

Claim (Index 11):
The method of  claim 10 , wherein determining if said first overall disparity value is in the first difference range used to control performing of the first difference reduction operation further includes:\n determining that said overall disparity value is in the first difference range when said comparing steps indicate that said first overall disparity value is above said first threshold and below said second threshold.
