Abstract The “Computed Image Depth method” (CID) is proposed for converting from all kinds of two‐dimensional (2D) images into three dimensional (3D) images. The 3D images are generated by computing the depth of each separated area of the 2D images with their contrast, sharpness and chrominance. The CID is implemented into a single‐chip LSI with the “Modified Time Difference method”. In this implementation, both methods are used adaptively according to the object's motions in the images. The 2D‐to‐3D image conversion system with this newly developed LSI realizes to generate 3D images automatically in real‐time.
