STEREOSCOPIC IMAGE REPRODUCTION METHOD IN QUICK SEARCH MODE AND STEREOSCOPIC IMAGE REPRODUCTION APPARATUS USING SAME

摘要

A method, which forms a stereoscopic image by alternately displaying a left image and a right image, for reproducing a stereoscopic image in a trip mode, includes: reproducing a stereoscopic image; receiving a selection of a trip mode from a user while the stereoscopic image is being reproduced; and when the trip mode is entered, changing the stereoscopic image into a two-dimensional (2D) image by selectively displaying one of a left image and a right image.;Preferably, in selecting one of the left image and the right image, any one of the left image and the right image is determined on the basis of quality of input image data or a performance efficiency of an apparatus which is reproducing the stereoscopic image. More preferably, after any one of the left image and the right image is selected, data of an image which has not been selected from each frame may be replaced by data of a selected image, to thereby change the stereoscopic image into the 2D image without causing a change in a frame rate.;An unnatural image or a distorted image cannot be generated even when an image is quickly displayed through high speed searching. In addition, a stereoscopic image can be effectively changed into a two-dimensional (2D) image when a trip mode is entered without employing an element for changing the displayed stereoscopic image into the 2D image.
