Claim One:
1. A method for decoding a video sequence, said method comprising: (a) receiving a first temporal sequence of images captured by first image acquisition device of a stereoscopic pair of image acquisition devices, wherein said first sequence of images includes a first subset of images captured at an exposure different than the exposure of other images in said first set of images not in said first subset; (b) receiving a second temporal sequence of images captured by another image acquisition device of said stereoscopic pair of image acquisition devices, wherein said second sequence of images includes a second subset of images captured at an exposure different than the exposure of other images in said second set of images not in said second subset; (c) creating a high dynamic range image sequence, having a dynamic range greater than the dynamic range of said first sequence and said second sequence, by using only image from said first temporal sequence of images included in said first subset to increase the dynamic range of said second temporal sequence of images, and using only images from said second temporal sequence of images not in said second subset to increase the dynamic range of said first temporal sequence of images.
