Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method for determining scaled-parallax constraints for placement of a pair of stereoscopic cameras within a computer-generated scene, the pair of stereoscopic cameras having a focal length, the method comprising: obtaining the focal length of the pair of stereoscopic cameras; obtaining a lower-bound value and upper-bound value for a range of focal lengths; obtaining a set of bounded-parallax constraints including a near-parallax value and a far-parallax value; if the focal length is less than the lower-bound value, if the focal length is greater than the upper-bound value, if the focal length is greater than or equal to the lower-bound value and less than or equal to the upper-bound value, storing, in a computer memory, the scaled near-parallax value and scaled far-parallax value as the scaled-parallax constraints.
