Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented process for creating stereo video, comprising: using a computing device for: inputting corresponding images of the same scene taken by two cameras at the same distance but from different viewpoints, wherein the images in a viewer's eyes and the two corresponding images in the cameras are the same; and using the corresponding images from the two cameras to create a stereo video frame by using a model of the geometry of the cameras relative to a viewer's eyes, internal parameters of the cameras, parameters of a display device and predicted viewer perceptions to predict how changes in various parameters in the camera configuration are perceived by the viewer, wherein the model employs, for any point in the corresponding images the relationships of change in depth, change in x coordinates and change in surface orientation to create the stereo video frame, wherein for two points in the scene, P=(p and wherein the perceived surface orientation given by angle θ e is computed by where f c is the focal length of the cameras and f e is the eye focal length.
