Abstract:
A view extrapolation apparatus and a view extrapolation method to generate images at a plurality of virtual points uses a relatively small number of input images. The view extrapolation apparatus and the view extrapolation method output a view at a reference point, the view at the reference point being formed of frames generated chronologically, integrate a plurality of successive frames of the view at the reference point to generate an integrated frame, and generate an extrapolated view at a virtual point using the integrated frame.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for generating a skeleton model using motion data and image data. The apparatus for generating the skeleton model may synchronize the image data and the motion data, and generate a three-dimensional (3D) skeleton model of an entire body of a user using a silhouette extracted from the image data and also using a position or orientation of a joint of the user extracted from the motion data. The skeleton model may be generated using the image data and the motion data, thereby improving accuracy of the skeleton model of the entire body of the user.

A method and apparatus for dithering for multi-toning are provided. The apparatus includes a mask-pattern-generating unit that generates a mask pattern on R channel, G channel and B channel by selecting pattern values constituting the mask pattern on the channels based on randomly-determined seed values; a spatial-weight-determining unit that determines the weight for spatial dithering by using the pattern values and K-bit LSB data of the high-tone input image; and an output unit that outputs an M-bit image by applying the weight to M-bit input image data, exempting the K-bit LSB data, in a dithering apparatus for expressing an M+K bit high-tone input image in an M-bit low-tone output device.
Abstract:
A virtual object control method is provided. The virtual object control method includes selecting a gesture to control a virtual object on the basis of motion information of a virtual object control unit. The gesture is related to a user's action to operate the virtual object control unit, and appropriately selected so that a user can intuitively and remotely control the virtual object. Selection criteria may be varied depending on the motion information including at least one of a pointing position, the number of pointed to points, a moving type for the virtual object control unit, and a moving position for the virtual object control unit acquired based on the position information.

An apparatus and method are provided for correcting a color reproduced by a video device according to peripheral brightness so that the visibility of the video device is guaranteed under peripheral conditions brighter than the video device. The apparatus for correcting a color reproduced by a video device according to peripheral brightness includes: a lookup-table-creation unit which creates a lookup table based on saturation of the video device and brightness of peripheral conditions; a color-correction unit which corrects the color reproduced by the video device according to the created lookup table; and a color-error-compensation unit which compensates for color error resulting from correction of the color. The method of correcting a color reproduced by a video device according to peripheral brightness includes: creating a lookup table based on saturation of the video device and brightness of peripheral conditions; correcting the color reproduced by the video device according to the created lookup table; and compensating for color error resulting from correction of the color.
