METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR PRESENTING THREE-DIMENSIONAL MOTION PICTURES WITH CONTENT ADAPTIVE INFORMATION Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC G06T15/00 G06T11/60 H04N13/00 

FIELD: physics, video.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to means of producing three-dimensional (3D) motion picture subtitles. The method comprises receiving a 3D image sequence; receiving a subtitle file for the 3D image sequence, the subtitle file comprising a subtitle element and timing information; associating the subtitle element with a segment of image frames based on the timing information; generating an abstract image for the right and left eyes from the segments; computing, by a computing device, an abstract depth map from said abstract images, the computing device having a processor; computing a proxy depth based on the abstract depth map for the subtitle element; using the proxy depth to determine a rendering attribute for the subtitle element; and outputting the rendering attribute.

EFFECT: optimising production of subtitles on a displayed 3D image with high parallax.
