Claim Text:
1. A computer-implemented method of multiscopic video augmentation based on non-linear warp functions, the computer-implemented method comprising: receiving a multiscopic video frame comprising at least a first image and a second image, at least one image of which has a first set of pixels and a second set of pixels; analyzing the first image and the second image of the multiscopic video frame in order to determine a set of image characteristics including a set of sparse disparities between the first and second images; determining, based on the set of image characteristics, a mapping function comprising a non-linear warp function configured to, in an image domain, warp the first set of pixels to a greater extent than the second set of pixels; and generating, by operation of one or more computer processors, at least a third image based on the determined mapping function and not based on any dense source stereoscopic information pertaining to the multiscopic video frame, wherein the multiscopic video frame is augmented to include the generated third image.
