A method for decoding a compressed image stream, the image stream having a plurality of frames, each frame consisting of a merged image including pixels from a left image and pixels from a right image. The method involves the steps of receiving each merged image; changing a clock domain from the original input signal to an internal domain; for each merged image, placing at least two adjacent pixels into an input buffer and interpolating an intermediate pixel, for forming a reconstructed left frame and a reconstructed right frame according to provenance of the adjacent pixels; and reconstructing a stereoscopic image stream from the left and right image frames. The invention also teaches a system for decoding a compressed image stream.

A 3D format image detection method and an electronic apparatus using the same are provided. The 3D format image detection method includes the following steps. A first image and a second image are obtained by splitting an input image according to a 3D image format. A 3D matching processing is performed on the first image and the second image to generate a disparity map of the first image and the second image. The matching number of a plurality of first pixels in the first image matched with a plurality of second pixels in the second image is calculated according to the disparity map. Whether the input image is a 3D format image conforming to the 3D image format is determined according to the matching number.

An image display apparatus includes a sensor configured to sense an external force applied to the image display apparatus; a memory configured to store at least one instruction; and a processor configured to execute the at least one instruction stored in the memory to activate the imaging device and control the display to display an external image captured by the imaging device in response to the external force being sensed while the image display apparatus is operating in a virtual reality mode of displaying a 360 image.

A depth generation system with adjustable light intensity includes at least one light source, at least one image capturer, a depth map generator, and a controller. Each light source of the at least one light source is used for generating emitted light. Each image capturer of the at least one image capturer is used for capturing an image including at least one reflected light generated by at least one object reflecting the emitted light. The depth map generator is coupled to the each image capturer for generating a corresponding depth map according to the image or the at least one reflected light. The controller is coupled to the depth map generator for determining whether to adjust intensity of the emitted light according to information of the corresponding depth map or intensity of the at least one reflected light.

A broadcast receiver and a method for processing video data are disclosed. The method for controlling a three dimensional (3D) video display output of a broadcast receiver includes receiving a broadcast signal including a video stream, wherein the video stream includes a plurality of video stream sections having different view points, acquiring view point information indicating corresponding view points of the video stream sections, and controlling a three dimensional (3D) video display output of the video stream according to the obtained view point information.

An apparatus for creating a three-dimensional (3D) image may create stereoscopic images based on an input image, and may create a 3D image by performing 3D rendering based on detected eye position information of a user and the stereoscopic images.
