First Claim
1. A method for creating a three-dimensional image of a scene, the method comprising:
- using at least one processor for;
receiving a plurality of images of a scene;
determining attributes of the plurality of images; and
generating, based on the attributes, a pair of images from among the plurality of images for use in creating a three-dimensional image.

Abstract
Methods, systems, and computer program products for generating three-dimensional images of a scene are disclosed herein. According to one aspect, a method includes receiving a plurality of images of a scene. The method also includes determining attributes of the plurality of images. Further, the method includes determining, based on the attributes, a pair of images from among the plurality of images for use in creating a three-dimensional image. A user can, by use of the subject matter disclosed herein, use an image capture device for capturing a plurality of different images of the same scene and for converting the images into a three-dimensional, or stereoscopic, image of the scene. The subject matter disclosed herein includes a three-dimensional conversion process. The conversion process can include identification of suitable pairs of images, registration, rectification, color correction, transformation, depth adjustment, and motion detection and removal.
