The main purpose of this project is to accomplish 2D video to 3D video. The depth map extraction and 3D image warping stereo image.
For the extraction of the depth map includes three parts, image block motion Extraction, color segmentation, Depth map average fusion. the propose of image block motion Extraction is to use 2D image of foreground and background which extract the predominant lines and vanishing point of the background base on geometry method and motion, the background depth map is considered. The depth of the object have used the motion extraction to obtain the motion depth map and then divided according to the color of the object to give the object region segmentation depth map.
Then, to analyze the basic principles of stereoscopic vision of human eyes, thus, to analyze the depth map generation.
2. Introduction and Overview
With the rapid development of technology, three-dimensional video is becoming increasingly prevalent in our lives. Stereoscopic video to give the viewer a more intense visual stimulation, increased realism. 3D technology enables sophisticated 3D movies get better returns than 2D movies. And now, more and more researchers in Europe focused on the development of three-dimensional TV. In addition, many TV manufacturers launched 3D TV market, so that people can enjoy watching 3D video at home. All the facts are proved, 3D dynasties come faster than we expected.
The 2D video to 3D has great practical significance. First, it can lead to more intense visual stimulation to the audience, to increase realism. Secondly, 2D to 3D 3D video capture is also able to reduce costs in the process, realize the possibilities of ordinary camcorders shoot 3D video. In addition, 2D to 3D, 3D video will meet the need...

The spectacular qualities within the contemporary films that use VFX became progressively important to Hollywood. The popularity of the ever growing special effects has been increased by a growing demand for products in different multimedia forms such as computer games, theme-park rides and many other secondary outlets that frequently generated more profits then the films they were based on.
Stop Motion using a camera – Stop-motion animation involves taking a process of pictures of a model, then moving it a small amount and taking the next photo. After this you then put all of the photos together and the small movements of the model appear to be a human-type action.
Creating just the right effect can be difficult if not impossible without many of the tricks employed by today’s directors and special effects artists. Once the exclusive domain of Hollywood, blue screen imaging is fast becoming a readily accessible visual tool for today’s vidographer. It is hard to imagine movies like Jurassic Park without its dinosaurs or the Matrix without it’s impressive visual effects. But many effects like these could not be completed without effective blue screen techniques.

Movies are a great way to take a break from your hectic life and just relax. Movies have been entertaining you and everyone around the world since the mid 1800’s. The evolution movie went from black and white pictures to color and sound to finally 3-D film. Directors, artists, and inventors took hundreds of years to just perfect putting the one by one captured pictures in a fluid motion to make a ten second movie. So, just think about trying to create the 3D effect or even how movies were created.
This was a revolutionary step for the film industry. The first computer generated imagery in 1973 was 2D (two dimensional). Westworld featured humans digitally enhanced to look like robots. Expressions were altered to make the characters more realistic, jerking movements, and subtle inconsistencies in the characters makeup and presentation. Westworld’s sequel, Futureworld, came out in the year 1976 and used three dimensional computer generated imagery. Two dimensional computer generated imagery was used to express depth and to produce new shades that could not be depicted just through animation and drawing. 2D computer generated imagery paved the way for its 3D brother. Three dimensional CGI was used to create shapes, creatures, and settings that did not exist in the movies or real
One of the films most important and groundbreaking technology is the use of motion capture. Motion capture technology has the ability to capture more realistic eye movements. Special reflective markers are placed onto the actors, which are wearing tight suits. Cameras recognize these markers and therefore the movements of the actor can be recorded. The captured data that was recorded is transformed into a digital model and transferred to a 3D software which would show the characters moving exactly how the actors did when they were performing for the scene. The data is cleaned up and animators will bring the character to life, with movement, texture, skeleton and muscles. An advantage that is offered in motion capture is it is more rapid and producing the animate...
Computer Generated Images, or CGI, is a form of Computer Graphics design, and animations, that make a image look 3D. These images are shown all throughout the media world, industry, and business, such as print media, tv, movies, pictures, commercials, etc. CGI’s have improved rapidly on software that helps our world improve on computer generated imaging. CGI software’s is used to make graphical design for purposes like movies in the theater. CGI companies and software’s, has made the technology age, and its computer has increase in speeds, and has allowed computer graphics programmers, and other companies, to make better quality films, games, and electronic digital photos on their CPU’s, or laptops. Because of the new advancement in software technology in CGI, and graphics designing, it has brought new internet religious cultures, its own new experiences, such as celebrities, and newer technological vocabulary. Technology advancement has increased so much that CGI’s has lead to the new beginning or era of virtual cinema photography.

A young cinematographer by the name of Morton Heilig once said “If we're going to step through the window into another world, why not go the whole way?' (Tate,Scott 1996) In 1957 he created the device known as the Sensorama. The device was designed to use all your senses and also projected a form of stereoscopic 3D to the front and the sides of your head. It was patented the "experience theatre", however it failed to work commercially because it was very expensive to make films and the process was t...
IT WILL BE HAILED AS THE GROUND-BREAKING 3D RELEASE OF ITS TIME. “A quote by Mark Wilson, an editor in a website called Gizmodo that focuses on design, technology and science fiction. Avatar was the point of interest stereo film around the time it was released. Taking 3D innovation higher than ever, and changing the way many individuals considered 3D film and visual impacts. For example, Weta Digital, a Visual effects company, built up another age of visual-impacts strategies to understand this film. And additionally, achieving enormous advancements in facial identification, 3D movement, detail, and motion of Avatar demonstrated that PC created filmmaking had achieved the point where it could convey the story, and keep up suspension of doubt, through a whole motion
Suggestion to improve the study where is the human should cooperate in the development virtual reality technology is that technology is increasingly transformative. Besides, improves computer performance, especially on 3D graphics so that progress can be achieved in the field of virtual reality. Application that virtual reality has should provide unlimited interactivity, so that the user becomes actives and literate users with cutting edge technology. Even, cost to the consumer should be offered affordable to more and more users use this technology.
Offering the unique ability to visually and audibly convey a story, films remain a cornerstone in modern society. Combined with a viewer’s desire to escape the everyday parameters of life, and the excitement of enthralling themselves deep into another world, many people enjoy what films stand to offer. With the rising popularity of films across the world, the amount of film makers increases every day. Many technological innovations mark the advancement of film making, but the essential process remains the same. Pre-production accounts for everything taken place before any shooting occurs, followed by the actual production of the film, post-production will then consist of piecing the film together, and finally the film must reach an audience. Each step of this process contributes to the final product, and does so in a unique right. The process of film making will now start chronologically, stemming from the idea of the story, producing that story into a film, editing that footage together, and finally delivering that story to its viewers.
Computer technology invades the film industry. The existence of computers have aided in the production of genres of film ranging from action movie special effects, to cartoon animation and claymation. Computer Generated Imagery, better known as CGI, assists filmmakers in many ways. An image can be made two-dimensional from a three-dimensional scene, camera angles can be altered to make a character seem larger and thus more important than its surrounding bodies, and colors can be brightened or neutralized, among other things (Parsons, Oja 1). Without the aid of computers, movies would not have the ability to be what they are today.
Computer Generated Imagery is the special effects used in motion pictures to create a visual depiction of an illusion that can not be easily created in real life. Directors of major motion pictures have been using these technologies since the early days of the personal computer. Early on, when and special effects were in their beginning stages, it was difficult to make efficient and effective effects that are well accepted by the movie critics and the general public. An evolution of special effects and the introduction of computerized animation brought the standards for movie effects to a higher level. The development of new methods of Computer Generated Imagery for less money and more effective than in the past has allowed even fairly low budget movies to incorporate such technology. Today, movies use CGI to create special effects to replace thousands of extras, stunt people, and puppet like characters, as witnessed in the Lord of the Rings Trilogy. The evolution of special effects and Computer Generated Imagery technologies has taken the film industry to a whole new level.
