Abstract:
1. A method for stereoscopic image capture, comprising: predicting a blur value respectively for each of multiple pixels in left and right images, wherein the blur value is predicted based on designated capture settings; predicting a disparity value respectively for each of multiple pixels in the left and right images, wherein the disparity value is predicted based on the designated capture settings; determining a lower bound of disparity value respectively for each of multiple pixels in the left and right images from the predicted blur value using a predetermined model of inequality based on human perception, wherein the lower bound of disparity value for a pixel varies with the blur value for that pixel; identifying stressed pixels by comparing, for each of the multiple pixels, the predicted disparity value to the determined lower bound of disparity value, wherein a pixel with predicted disparity value less than the lower bound is identified as a stressed pixel; and adjusting predicted disparity by adjusting the designated capture settings to reduce the number of stressed pixels.
