Abstract

A Depth Template based 2D-to-3D Video Conversion and Coding system (DTVCC) is proposed by this paper. In DTVCC, triangle meshes are exploited to describe depth template for scenes in 2D video, an interactive system is designed to generate reliable depth template, depth map can be automatically reconstructed based on the depth template and 2D video frame pixels information, and the generated 3D video is compressed just by coding the 2D video plus depth template. Experiment results show that not only high quality 3D video is generated, but also the bit rate of coding the converted 3D video is saved by 12%~38% with our proposed system of DTVCC.
