Patent ID: 8350894

Claim:
A method for performing stereoscopic imaging comprising: obtaining a first image of a scene, at a first time, using a camera disposed on a mobile platform, where a first distance between the camera and the scene is changing as a result of movement of at least one of the camera or the scene being imaged, along an axis of movement; using the camera to obtain a second image of the scene, at a second time, where a second distance between the camera and the scene is different from the first distance, thus causing one of said first and second images to be larger than the other, and wherein the second image is taken along the axis of movement; resizing said one of said images so that the sizes of the two images are substantially similar; and rotating both of said images a predetermined degree so that said images form a stereo pair that may be viewed with a stereoscope viewing component or made into an anaglyph for viewing with an anaglyph viewing component.
