Claim:
1. A method of integrating binocular stereo video scenes while maintaining temporal consistency, comprising: propagating and extracting contours of a moving object from a stereo video A, in which in response to a user selecting the contours of the moving object by applying an interactive method such as a brush, extracting the user selected contours of the moving object from a first left frame from stereo video A and inserting the user selected contours of moving object into a first left frame of a stereo video B and further automatically propagating a corresponding image of the moving object from a first right frame from the stereo video A to the first right frame from the stereo video B, the contours of the moving objects for the first left frame and the first right frame from the stereo video A are separately propagated to correspond to the contours of the moving object for all other frames for a left eye view and a right eye view; integrating and deforming of parallax of the contours of the moving object and a dynamic scene of the stereo video B with temporal consistency, in which a position to place the contours of the moving object from the stereo video A into the dynamic scene of the stereo video B is determined based on in response to the user specifying the position, and for each frame a calculated disparity map based on regions of the moving object of the stereo video A and a calculated disparity map based on the specified position of the stereo video B are integrated to produce an integrated disparity map and thereafter the integrated disparity map is used to deform the contours of the moving object in a time-consistent manner to allow it conform to the rules of perspective of the dynamic scene of the stereo video B; and color blending of the contours of the moving object and the dynamic scene of the stereo video B with temporal consistency utilizing a method of a median coordinate fusion to blend the colors of the contours of the moving object and the dynamic scene of the stereo video B.
