Abstract:
1. A method of producing a stereoscopic image, comprising: capturing a first image using a first camera having a first field of view and capturing a second image using a second camera having a second field of view, the second field of view at least partially overlapping the first field of view; capturing a third image using a third camera positioned on the electronic device to have a third field of view at least partially overlapping the first field of view and the second field of view, the third camera having at least one different imaging characteristic than each of the first camera and the second camera; generating, using at least one processor of the electronic device, a depth map including a depth value for each pixel location of the depth map using differences in a position of at least one object between the first image and the second image based at least in part on disparity information determined using at least one of edge matching, color matching, or texture matching of information in the first image and the second image; locating pixels in the third image that correspond to pixel locations of the depth map; and using, using the at least one processor of the electronic device, color information for each located pixel in the third image to determine a color value for a corresponding pixel location of the depth map, wherein a stereoscopic image is able to be created using depth information from the first and second cameras and color information from the third camera.
