Methods, systems, and computer-readable storage media for creating three-dimensional (3D) images of a scene
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 captured images;
determining matching image features among the plurality of captured images;
determining a transformation to align at least one of the matched image features;
applying the transformation to a first captured image among the plurality of captured images such that the first captured image is aligned to a second captured image among the plurality of captured images to create a plurality of transformed images;
defining a transformed image pair using one of transformed and captured images;
calculating parallax values of the matched image features of the transformed image pair;
determining whether the parallax values do not meet a predetermined criteria;
in response to determining that the parallax values do not meet the predetermined criteria, altering a stereoscopic characteristic of the transformed image pair to create an adjusted image pair; and
defining a three-dimensional image based on the adjusted image pair.

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.
