Abstract
A method and device for transforming 2D images into 3D are disclosed. The disclosed device includes a dictionary storage unit configured to store a word-depth gradient dictionary; a color patch obtainer unit configured to obtain color patches from an input image; a matching word search unit configured to transform each of the color patches obtained by the color patch obtainer unit into a SIFT descriptor form and search for words closest to the SIFT descriptors of the obtained color patches from among the words of the word-depth gradient dictionary; a matching depth gradient obtainer unit configured to obtain depth gradient information of the words matching the obtained color patches from the word-depth gradient dictionary; and a depth map generation unit configured to compute a depth from the obtained matching depth gradient for each of the obtained color patches and generate a depth map.
