Abstract
A three-dimensional (3D) imaging system and method are disclosed. A motion estimation and motion compensation (MEMC) unit performs the motion estimation (ME) and the motion compensation (MC) on a reference frame and a current frame, thereby generating an MEMC generated frame and motion vector (MV) information. A depth controller partitions the reference frame into multiple regions according to the MV information, thereby generating depth information. A scene-mode depth generator generates a depth map according to the reference frame and the depth information. A depth-image-based rendering (DIBR) unit generates a scene-mode generated frame according to the reference frame and the depth map.
