Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method, comprising: generating, with at least one processing device, a smooth optical flow from a first image to a second image, wherein the first image represents one of a left-eye view and a right-eye view, and the second image represents the other one of a left-eye view and a right-eye view, and wherein the second image is an imperfect image that has at least one of a feature point having distorted height, a discontinuity in depth, an object with distorted shape, or an object with distorted appearance; producing a first candidate view from the smooth optical flow; identifying objects in the second image; merging the identified objects of the second image into the first candidate view; creating a third image based on the merging; and creating a target stereoscopic image from the first image and the third image.
