An efficient interactive image cutout tool is first used to segment the object-of-interest in the key frames. Then, we assign the initial depth information to the segmented objects. These objects are tracked in the whole video sequence through a bi-directional \KIT\ (\Kanade-Iucas\- Tomashi) algorithm. In addition, depth interpolation is employed to produce the depth information in the non-key frames. Finally, stereoscopic video is synthesized in consideration of different \3D\ display types. The experimental results show that our method can fulfill \2D\ to \3D\ video conversion both reliably and efficiently.
