Algorithmic interaxial reduction
First Claim
1. A method for creating an intermediate stereoscopic perspective representation of a plurality of stereoscopic images, comprising:
- obtaining a first image using a first image collecting device;
obtaining a second image using a second image collecting device physically separated from the first image collecting device by a distance, said second image configured to be combined with the first image to form a stereoscopic image; and
determining the intermediate stereoscopic perspective representation based on aspects of the first image combined with aspects of the second image.

Abstract
A system and method for determining an intermediate stereoscopic representation, thus offering adjustable interaxial separation values. The design comprises obtaining a first image using a first image collecting device and substantially simultaneously obtaining a second image using a second image collecting device. The two recoding devices are physically separated by a distance, and the second image may be combined with the first image to form a stereoscopic image. The design further determines the intermediate stereoscopic representation based on aspects of the first image combined, typically algorithmically, with aspects of the second image.
