3d Image Generation from Single 2d Image using Monocular Depth Cues

Abstract

There has been a tremendous increase in the popularity of 3D hardware such as TV's, Smartphone's, gadgets for gaming, medical equipments, 3D printing and many more. 2D to 3D conversion is applied at various levels to get 3D content. In this paper, 3D image is generated from a single 2D image. we try to convert our own Karate and Bharathanatyam (KB) Dataset which contains both indoor and outdoor poses to 3D. Here, Watershed algorithm is employed to segment the image. Depth map is generated by sharpness and contrast as depth cues. The 3D image from single 2D image is created by depth image based rendering method.
