  Abstract

In this paper, we propose an algorithm for creating stereoscopic video from a monoscopic video. Parallel straight lines in a 3D space get narrower as they are farther from the perspective images on a 2D plane and finally meet at one point that is called a vanishing point. A viewer uses depth perception clues called a vanishing point which is the farthest from a viewer’s viewpoint in order to perceive depth information from objects and surroundings thereof to the viewer. The viewer estimates the vanishing point with geometrical features in monoscopic images, and can perceive the depth information with the relationship between the position of the vanishing point and the viewer’s viewpoint. In this paper, we propose a method to estimate a vanishing point with edge direction histogram in a general monoscopic image and to create a depth map depending on the position of the vanishing point. With the conversion method proposed through the experimental results, it is seen that stable stereoscopic conversion of a given monoscopic video is achieved.
