METHOD AND SYSTEM TO CONVERT TWO-DIMENSIONAL VIDEO INTO THREE DIMENSIONAL VIDEO Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC H04N13/02 G06T17/00 

FIELD: information technology.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to a method for estimating the spatial depth of the video sequence, and in particular to a method for converting two-dimensional (2D) video format to a three-dimensional (3D). Conversion of 2D video format into 3D video format is proposed, using the method of providing spatial depth assessment for video sequence, the method comprises classification of an audio-scene, in which the spatial depth categorisation index of a scene is obtained based on the analysis of the audio-information of the scene mentioned, where the spatial depth categorisation indices used for the subsequent assessment of spatial depth, based on the video information for the similar scene.

EFFECT: reduction of computational load, and thus, providing a possibility of more effective assessment of the image spatial depth.
