Methods, systems, and computer-readable storage media for selecting image capture positions to generate three-dimensional images

摘要

Methods, systems, and computer program products for selecting image capture positions to generate three-dimensional images are disclosed herein. According to one aspect, a method includes determining a plurality of first guides associated with a first still image of a scene. The method can also include displaying a real-time image of the scene on a display. Further, the method can include determining a plurality of second guides associated with the real-time image. The method can also include displaying the first and second guides on the display for guiding selection of a position of an image capture device to capture a second still image of the scene for pairing the first and second still images as a stereoscopic pair of a three-dimensional image.

主权项

1. An apparatus for selecting an image capture position to generate a three-dimensional image, the apparatus comprising:
at least one image capture device, the capture device capable of capturing a real-time image of a scene; at least one processor, the processor for:
applying edge sharpness criteria to identify the first template region to generate a set of first guides associated with a first still image of a scene wherein the set of first guides includes at least one of a first horizontal guide, a first vertical guide, and a first perspective guide;displaying a real-time image of the scene on a display;applying a Hough or similar transformation to identify a set of second guides associated with the real-time image wherein the set of second guides includes at least one of a second horizontal, vertical, and perspective guide; anddisplaying the first and second guides on the display for guiding selection of a position of the image capture device to capture a second still image of the scene for pairing the first and second still images to generate a three-dimensional image.
