Methods, systems, and computer-readable storage media for selecting image capture positions to generate three-dimensional images
First Claim
1. A method for selecting an image capture position to generate a three-dimensional image, the method comprising:
- using an image capture device including at least one processor for;
capturing a first image of a scene at a first position;
determining a depth of field based on at least one characteristic of the capture;
determining a displacement distance based on the determined depth of field;
capturing a real-time image of the scene while moving the image capture device laterally;
utilizing at least a pixel attribute from the real-time image to determine a current position of the image capture device with respect to the first position;
capturing a second image at the current position determined by the difference between the first position and the second position being approximately equal to the determined displacement; and
creating a stereoscopic image pair based on the first and second images.

Abstract
Methods, systems, and computer program products for selecting image capture positions to generate three-dimensional images are disclosed herein. According to one aspect, a method includes determining a plurality of first guides associated with a first still image of a scene. The method can also include displaying a real-time image of the scene on a display. Further, the method can include determining a plurality of second guides associated with the real-time image. The method can also include displaying the first and second guides on the display for guiding selection of a position of an image capture device to capture a second still image of the scene for pairing the first and second still images as a stereoscopic pair of a three-dimensional image.

6. A method for positioning an image capture device for generating a three-dimensional image, the method comprising:
-
using at least one processor for; capturing a first image of a scene at a first position; determining a depth of field based on at least one characteristic of the capture; determining a displacement distance based on the determined depth of field; mechanically-moving the image capture device; capturing at least one real-time image of the scene during movement of the image capture device; utilizing at least a pixel attribute from the real-time image to determine a current position of the image capture device with respect to the first position; capturing a second image at the current position determined by the difference between the first position and the second position being approximately equal to the determined displacement; and creating a stereoscopic image pair based on the first and second images. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8)
