An apparatus and a method for detecting traffic lanes in real time are disclosed. The disclosed real-time lane detection apparatus may include: a candidate area establisher unit configured to establish as a candidate area for lane detection an area having an intensity value which corresponds to the intensity of a traffic lane marking from among the intensity values in a color space of a color image; and a lane-marking determiner unit configured to determine a traffic lane marking from the established candidate area by using a line component of the candidate area. According to the present invention, traffic lanes can be detected accurately and quickly, even in environments where the lighting conditions of the road vary.

A content retargeting method and apparatus are disclosed. An embodiment of the invention provides a content retargeting method that includes: dividing an original content into a grid having M rows&#xd7;N columns of quads; computing degrees of importance of the divided quads; and scaling the quads based on the computed degrees of importance, the quads axis-aligned by rows or columns.

An apparatus for enhancing a stereoscopic image may include: a color relationship extraction unit, which extracts color relationships between a plurality of first coordinates in a 3-dimensional color space for a first image and second coordinates in a 3-dimensional color space for a second image corresponding to the plurality of first coordinates; a color relationship correction unit, which corrects a color relationship for any one first coordinate from among the plurality of first coordinates based on a color relationship of at least one first coordinate existing within a particular distance from the any one first coordinate; and a color value transformation unit, which transforms a color value of the first image by using the corrected color relationship of the any one first coordinate. The invention provides the advantage of accurately correcting color imbalance between the left image and right image forming a stereoscopic image.
