Embodiment Construction

[0031] The embodiments disclosed herein provide systems, methods, and apparatuses for generating stereoscopic images with devices containing multiple imaging sensors. Specifically, the embodiments of the present invention contemplate determining the vertical disparity between two images, correcting the vertical disparity by generating at least one corrected image, and generating and displaying stereoscopic image pairs based on the corrected images. Those skilled in the art will recognize that these embodiments can be implemented in hardware, software, firmware or any combination thereof.

[0032] In the following description, many specific details are given to provide a detailed understanding of the examples. However, those skilled in the art will understand that the examples can be practiced without these specific details. For example, electrical components / devices may be shown in block diagrams so as not to obscure the examples with unnecessary details. In other examples, the...

Abstract

The present invention discloses an apparatus and method for conditional display of stereoscopic image pairs on a display device. In particular, some embodiments include receiving a first image and a second image, determining a vertical disparity between the first image and the second image, and if the vertical disparity is below a threshold The stereo image pair is shown below. Some implementations provide for correcting the vertical disparity by generating at least one corrected image, and generating the stereoscopic image pair based on the corrected image. Some implementations can evaluate the quality of the stereoscopic image pair, and display a two-dimensional image or the stereoscopic image pair based on the evaluation.

Description

Technical field [0001] The embodiments of the present invention relate to imaging devices, and in particular, to methods, devices, and systems for capturing stereoscopic images. Background technique [0002] In the past decade, digital imaging capabilities have been integrated into a wide range of devices, including digital cameras and mobile phones. Recently, the ability to capture stereoscopic images with these devices has become technically possible. Device manufacturers have responded by introducing devices that integrate multiple digital imaging sensors. A wide range of electronic devices, including mobile wireless communication devices, personal digital assistants (PDAs), personal music systems, digital cameras, digital recording devices, video conferencing systems and similar devices, use multiple imaging sensors to provide their users with a variety of Capabilities and characteristics. These include not only stereoscopic (3D) imaging applications, such as 3D photos and...
