Abstract

A method includes receiving a first three-dimensional video content, determining a three-dimensional format of the first three-dimensional video content, and converting a two-dimensional video content into a second three-dimensional video content based on the determined three-dimensional format, wherein converting the two-dimensional video content comprises decimating the two-dimensional video content. The method further includes splicing the second three-dimensional video content into the first three-dimensional video content.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method comprising:
 receiving a first three-dimensional video content;   determining, using a processor, a three-dimensional format of the first three-dimensional video content;   converting a two-dimensional video content into a second three-dimensional video content based on the determined three-dimensional format, wherein converting the two-dimensional video content comprises decimating the two-dimensional video content; and   splicing the second three-dimensional video content into the first three-dimensional video content.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the three-dimensional format of the first three-dimensional video content comprises at least one of vertical 3D format, horizontal 3D format, or quincunx 3D format. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the second three-dimensional video content is in the determined three-dimensional format. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein converting the two dimensional video content further comprises copying the decimated two-dimensional video content. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein splicing the second three-dimensional video content into the first three-dimensional video content comprises:
 identifying at least one location within the first three-dimensional video content; and   splicing the second three-dimensional video content into the first three-dimensional video content at the at least one location within the first three-dimensional video content.   
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 receiving a third three-dimensional video content;   generating a converted three-dimensional video content by converting the third three-dimensional video content into the determined three-dimensional format of the first three-dimensional video content; and   splicing the converted three-dimensional video content into the first three-dimensional video content.   
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 6 , wherein generating the converted three-dimensional video content further comprises decimating the third three-dimensional video content. 
     
     
         8 . A system comprising:
 a memory; and   a processor communicably coupled to the memory, the processor to:
 receive a first three-dimensional video content; 
 determine a three-dimensional format of the first three-dimensional video content; 
 convert a two-dimensional video content into a second three-dimensional video content based on the determined three-dimensional format, wherein to convert the two-dimensional video content, the processor is to decimate the two-dimensional video content; and 
 splice the second three-dimensional video content into the first three-dimensional video content. 
   
     
     
         9 . The system of  claim 8 , wherein the three-dimensional format of the first three-dimensional video content comprises at least one of vertical 3D format, horizontal 3D format, or quincunx 3D format. 
     
     
         10 . The system of  claim 8 , wherein the second three-dimensional video content is in the determined three-dimensional format. 
     
     
         11 . The system of  claim 8 , wherein to convert the two dimensional video content, the processor is further to copy the decimated two-dimensional video content. 
     
     
         12 . The system of  claim 8 , wherein to splice the second three-dimensional video content into the first three-dimensional video content, the processor is further to:
 identify at least one location within the first three-dimensional video content; and   splice the second three-dimensional video content into the first three-dimensional video content at the at least one location within the first three-dimensional video content.   
     
     
         13 . The system of  claim 8 , wherein the processor is further to:
 receive a third three-dimensional video content;   generate a converted three-dimensional video content by converting the third three-dimensional video content into the determined three-dimensional format of the first three-dimensional video content; and   splice the converted three-dimensional video content into the first three-dimensional video content.   
     
     
         14 . The system of  claim 13 , wherein to generate the converted three-dimensional video content, the processor is further to decimate the third three-dimensional video content. 
     
     
         15 . A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium storing instructions which, when executed, cause a processor to:
 receive a first three-dimensional video content;   determine a three-dimensional format of the first three-dimensional video content;   convert a two-dimensional video content into a second three-dimensional video content based on the determined three-dimensional format, wherein to convert the two-dimensional video content, the processor is to decimate the two-dimensional video content; and   splice, using the processor, the second three-dimensional video content into the first three-dimensional video content.   
     
     
         16 . The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of  claim 15 , wherein the three-dimensional format of the first three-dimensional video content comprises at least one of vertical 3D format, horizontal 3D format, or quincunx 3D format. 
     
     
         17 . The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of  claim 15 , wherein the second three-dimensional video content is in the determined three-dimensional format. 
     
     
         18 . The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of  claim 15 , wherein to convert the two dimensional video content, the processor is further to copy the decimated two-dimensional video content. 
     
     
         19 . The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of  claim 15 , wherein to splice the second three-dimensional video content into the first three-dimensional video content, the processor is further to:
 identify at least one location within the first three-dimensional video content; and   splice the second three-dimensional video content into the first three-dimensional video content at the at least one location within the first three-dimensional video content.   
     
     
         20 . The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of  claim 15 , wherein the processor is further to:
 receive a third three-dimensional video content;   generate a converted three-dimensional video content by converting the third three-dimensional video content into the determined three-dimensional format of the first three-dimensional video content; and   splice the converted three-dimensional video content into the first three-dimensional video content.
