The invention relates to a method of obtaining a stereoscopic signal from a sequence of monoscopic images. The method includes a step of obtaining a sequence of monoscopic images having been captured by an image acquisition apparatus in an acquisition mode enabling several images to be shot in the course of a regular movement substantially tangential to the plane of the lens of the acquisition apparatus. That step is followed by a step of forming pairs of images from the sequence of images, each pair being formed on the basis of a predetermined temporal distance then a step of calibrating the images of the pairs formed, so as to improve the visual correspondence between the two images. Finally, a stereoscopic signal is constructed from the pairs so calibrated.

Techniques for producing baseline stereo parameters for stereoscopic computer animation

Номер: US20140035918A1
Принадлежит: DreamWorks Animation LLC

Bounded-parallax constraints are determined for the placement of a pair of stereoscopic cameras within a computer-generated scene. A minimum scene depth is calculated based on the distance from the pair of cameras to a nearest point of interest in the computer-generated scene. A near-parallax value is also calculated based on the focal length and the minimum scene depth. Calculating the near-parallax value includes selecting a baseline stereo-setting entry from a set of stereo-setting entries, each stereo-setting entry of the set of baseline stereo-setting entries includes a recommended scene depth, a recommended focal length, and a recommended near-parallax value. For the selected baseline stereo-setting entry: the recommended scene depth corresponds to the minimum scene depth, and the recommended focal length corresponds to the focal length. The near-parallax value and far-parallax value are stored as the bounded-parallax constraints for the placement of the pair of stereoscopic cameras.
