METHODS, SYSTEMS, AND COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIA FOR GENERATING STEREOSCOPIC CONTENT VIA DEPTH MAP CREATION
First Claim
1. A method for generating a stereoscopic image pair of a scene using a depth map, the method comprising:
- receiving a plurality of images of a scene captured at different focal planes;
identifying a plurality of portions of the scene in each captured image;
determining an in-focus depth of each portion based on the captured images for generating a depth map for the scene;
identifying the captured image where the intended subject is found to be in focus as being one of the images of a stereoscopic image pair; and
generating the other image of the stereoscopic image pair based on the identified captured image and the depth map.

Abstract
Methods, systems, and computer program products for generating stereoscopic content via depth map creation are disclosed herein. According to one aspect, a method includes receiving a plurality of images of a scene captured at different focal planes. The method can also include identifying a plurality of portions of the scene in each captured image. Further, the method can include determining an in-focus depth of each portion based on the captured images for generating a depth map for the scene. Further, the method can include generating the other image of the stereoscopic image pair based on the captured image where the intended subject is found to be in focus and the depth map.

15. A method for generating a stereoscopic image pair by altering a depth map, the method comprising:
-
receiving an image of a scene; receiving a depth map associated with at least one captured image of the scene, wherein the depth map defining depths for each of a plurality of portions of the at least one captured image; receiving user input for changing, in the depth map, a depth of at least one portion of the at least one captured image; and generating a stereoscopic image pair of the scene based on the received image of the scene and the changed depth map. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
