SYSTEM AND METHOD TO GENERATE AND REPRODUCE 3D VIDEO IMAGE Russian patent published in 2011 - IPC H04N13/00 

FIELD: information technologies.

SUBSTANCE: system to generate and reproduce a 3D video image, comprising the following: a complex of generation, a complex of disparity evaluation, a complex of images synthesis and a reproduction complex. Also a method to evaluate and specify disparity values for a stereo mate is proposed, consisting in making serial iterations of specifying the primary evaluation of disparity and providing for performance of the following operations: primary calculation of disparity is made; disparity specification filter parameters are tuned depending on the iteration number; disparity specification filter core size is evaluated depending on the iteration number; disparity map is confirmed in accordance with parameters and size of the filter core; convergence criteria are calculated and evaluated, at the same time, if they are complied with, then the process of filtering is terminated; post-treatment of disparity map is carried out, and the method to generate virtual images from a colour image and according disparity map of depth with the available camera parameters.

EFFECT: production of a high-quality image based on the accurate depth map formed from stereo mates.
