Claim:
1. A method for the generation of M greater or equal to 2 synthetic perspectives from a fed stereo image with at least N greater or equal to 2 perspectives such that at least one perspective LE in the viewing direction of the camera is generated left of the left-most fed camera perspective, and at least one perspective RE in the viewing direction of the camera is generated right of the right-most fed camera perspective in such a way that a disparity map Wohin from the left-most fed camera perspective LC to the right-most camera perspective RE is computed; for each row of the fed camera perspective an array pLC and an array pRC is generated, the content of the arrays being pointers to the pixels of the left-most fed camera perspective LC and the right-most fed camera perspective; a new disparity map LE_Wohin is computed, where an index jllExtension being computed for each pixel jll of each row and pLC(jllExtension)=jll, pRC(jllExtension)=Wohin(jll) being set; and the synthetic perspectives LE and RE are generated using the disparity map LE_Wohin and the pointers of the arrays pLC and pRC pointing to the pixels of the fed camera perspectives LC and RC; where both synthetic perspectives are located left and right of the extension of the connecting line between left-most and right-most fed camera perspective LC and RC.
