Abstract:
1. A process for creating a three dimensional media projection from a two-dimensional image, comprising: copying a two-dimensional image to create a working image of the two dimensional image; creating a depth selection mask associated with at least one characteristic of the working image and associated with at least a portion of the working image, including: determining a vector field of each pixel of the portion of the working image; applying the depth selection mask to the vector field of the portion of the working image to create a weighted displacement mask having a displacement vector associated with each pixel of the portion of the working image, the displacement vector having a magnitude and direction; displacing each pixel of the portion of the working image in accordance with the magnitude of the vector associated with that pixel to create a modified working image; and creating a stereo pair of images by pairing the two dimensional image with the modified working image.
