Abstract
A method and apparatus for converting a two dimensional image or video to three dimensional image or video. The method includes segmenting objects in at least one of a two dimensional image and video, performing, in the digital processor, a depth map generation based on low-level features, performing face detection and scene classification on at least one of a two dimensional image and video, and utilizing face detection and scene classification in enhancing the depth map and for converting the at least one of a two dimensional image and video to three dimensional image and video.
