10. A method of reconstructing a two-dimensional image to include a reflection effect, said image having a first axis and a second axis, comprising:
-
incorporating said image in a three-dimensional space defined by said first axis, said second axis, and a third axis;
defining a surface in said three-dimensional space, said surface having non-zero dimensions along said third axis and at least one of said first axis and said second axis;
choosing an observer viewpoint in said three-dimensional space;
selecting a retained portion of said image for use in a reconstructed image;
interpolating the pixels in said retained portion to generate reflection pixels based on said surface and said observer viewpoint; and
generating said reconstructed image using said retained portion of said image and said reflection pixels. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
