Abstract:
1. A computerized method for auto-stereoscopic interpolation, the method comprising: executing a computer program encoded on a non-transitory computer-readable medium to perform the steps of: receiving, by an input unit of a computer, a first two dimensional image and a second two dimensional image, each two dimensional image comprising a pixel size; generating, by a preprocessing unit of the computer, a reduced pixel image for each of the first and second two dimensional images, wherein each reduced pixel image comprises a reduced pixel size that is less than the pixel size; calculating, by the preprocessing unit, boundary information for each of the first and second two dimensional images; calculating, by a depth map unit of the computer, a depth map for the first and second reduced pixel images, wherein the depth map comprises data indicative of three dimensional information for one or more objects in the first and second reduced pixel images; and calculating, by the depth map unit of the computer, a depth map for the first and second two dimensional images based on the boundary information for each of the first and second two dimensional images and the depth map of the first and second reduced pixel images.
