Methods and Apparatus for Coherent Manipulation and Stylization of Stereoscopic Images
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- performing, by one or more computing devices;
obtaining a stereo image pair comprising a left image and a right image;
obtaining a disparity map for the stereo image pair;
for each of a plurality of depth ranges indicated by the disparity map, generating a merged image that includes image data from the left image and image data from the right image at the respective depth range; and
generating a new stereo image pair comprising a new left image and a new right image from one or more of the plurality of merged images.

Abstract
Methods and apparatus for coherent manipulation and stylization of stereoscopic images. A stereo image manipulation method may use the disparity map for a stereo image pair to divide the left and right images into a set of slices, each of which is the portion of the images that correspond to a certain, small depth range. The method may merge the left and right slices for a depth into a single image. The method may then apply a stylization technique to each slice. The method may then extract the left and right portions of each stylized slice, and stack them together to create a coherent stylized stereo image. As an alternative to first extracting slices from a merged image and then applying a stylization technique to the slices, the method may first apply the stylization technique to the merged image and then extract slices from the stylized merged image.
