Claim Text:
1. A non-transitory storage medium storing therein a stereoscopic image comprising a first image and a second image, the second image generated by the process of: receiving, b a computing device, the first image comprising a set of pixels; and generating, by the computing device, a portion of the second image, the second image comprising a different viewpoint than a viewpoint of the first image, comprising: determining, by the computing device, a value of the first destination pixel based on at least one of (a) a previously considered pixel from the set of pixels of the first image that is horizontally adjacent to the first pixel or (b) the pixel-shift value associated with the first pixel; determining the value of the first destination pixel was previously determined based on the previously considered pixel, the previously considered pixel having a larger shift than a shift of the first pixel; not changing the value of the first destination pixel based on the first pixel; selecting a second pixel that is horizontally adjacent to the first pixel and the previously considered pixel; identifying a second destination pixel for the second pixel in the second image based on an associated pixel-shift value from the set of pixel-shift values, wherein the second destination pixel is horizontally adjacent to the first destination pixel; and setting a value of the second destination pixel based on the first pixel, the second pixel, and the pixel-shift value associated with the second pixel.
