Abstract
For transforming a 2D image into a 3D image, or for transforming a 2D animation into a 3D animation, depths of the 2D image or the 2D animation are required and corrected by enhancing edges. Moreover, a 3D model is generated according to a corrected 2D depth map, and the 3D model is then filmed by virtual cameras to generate the 3D image or the 3D animation. While generating the 3D animation, key frames are selected for reducing processing time, and depths of unselected frames between the key frames are calculated by using interpolation.
