Methods and systems of creating a stereoscopic image

摘要

Disclosed herein are methods and systems for creating stereoscopic images. A left-eye view image for a stereoscopic image and an imperfect right-eye view image may be received. A smooth optical flow may be generated from the received image representing the left-eye view to the imperfect image representing the right-eye view to produce a first candidate right-eye view. Objects are identified in the imperfect image, and merged into the first candidate right-eye view image to create a right-eye view image. A stereoscopic image is created from the left-eye view image and right-eye view image.

主权项

1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
generating, with at least one processing device, a smooth optical flow from a first image to a second image, wherein the first image represents one of a left-eye view and a right-eye view, and the second image represents the other one of a left-eye view and a right-eye view, and wherein the second image is an imperfect image that has at least one of a feature point having distorted height, a discontinuity in depth, an object with distorted shape, or an object with distorted appearance; producing a first candidate view from the smooth optical flow; identifying objects in the second image; merging the identified objects of the second image into the first candidate view; creating a third image based on the merging; and creating a target stereoscopic image from the first image and the third image.
