ABSTRACT:
A method for generating three-dimensional images based on a sequence of two-dimensional images is characterized by the steps of: analyzing a two-dimensional image with respect to its scene type, selecting a deformation assigned to the defined scene type with which the two-dimensional image is deformed, deforming the two-dimensional image and transmitting the deformed two-dimensional image to at least one viewing channel. The method also contemplates applying various transition functions to the two-dimensional image to provide a continuous and smooth transition from one scene type to another. The method can be carried out by an apparatus for performing these functions.
