A 2D-to-3D chip and its application to TV systems

In this paper, we design a real-time 2D to 3D conversion chip. Architecture of this chip includes three key modules: 2D to 3D conversion core, 3D format conversion and peripheral I/O circuit. Specially, calculation precision and smooth filter are carefully designed and implemented according to the features of chip, such that the quality of output 3D video is largely improved. The experiment results on the prototypes show that our chip can give promising conversion results and has a broad application foreground.
