Abstract
In some embodiments, a method of rendering a stereoscopic image based on a two-dimensional image frame and a depth map comprises generating a saliency map of the two-dimensional image frame, determining a region where is located an object of focus from the saliency map, modifying the depth map such that a range of depth values in the depth map that is associated the object of focus is redistributed toward a depth level of a display screen, and generating a virtual stereoscopic image frame based on the modified depth map and the two-dimensional image frame. In other embodiments, systems of rendering stereoscopic images are also described.
