Abstract

A method to convert two-dimensional (“2D”) image content into three-dimensional (“3D”) image content for display on a display device, comprises the steps of: analyzing the 2D image content for predefined indicators and generating a depth map for each of the predefined indicators; determining a combined depth map as a function of the generated depth maps; and generating the 3D image content for display on the display device as a function of the combined depth map.
