Reconstruction of three-dimensional video

One or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media comprising instructions that are operable when executed to:

• access a plurality of images representing a 360° view of a scene, each image representing a portion of the 360° view of the scene and comprising a first overlap area and a second overlap area, the first overlap area corresponding to an overlap with a first adjacent image, and the second overlap area corresponding to an overlap with a second adjacent image, wherein the plurality of accessed images without modification do not produce a three-dimensional view of the scene;
• calculate, for each of the overlap areas, a set of homographies based on one or more feature points in the overlap area;
• create a set of left images from the plurality of images, the set of left images representing a first 360° view of the scene;
• create a set of right images from the plurality of images, the set of right images representing a second 360° view of the scene, wherein the set of right images is distinct from the set of left images;
• stitch the set of left images together using the calculated homographies to produce a stitched 360° left image;
• stitch the set of right images together using the calculated homographies to produce a stitched 360° right image that is distinct from the stitched 360° left image;
• provide for display to a left eye of a user at least a portion of the stitched 360° left image;
• and
• provide for display to a right eye of the user at least a portion of the stitched 360° right image.

An apparatus comprising:

• one or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media embodying instructions;
• and
• one or more processors coupled to the storage media and configured to execute the instructions to:
• access a plurality of images representing a 360° view of a scene, each image representing a portion of the 360° view of the scene and comprising a first overlap area and a second overlap area, the first overlap area corresponding to an overlap with a first adjacent image, and the second overlap area corresponding to an overlap with a second adjacent image, wherein the plurality of accessed images without modification do not produce a three-dimensional view of the scene;
• calculate, for each of the overlap areas, a set of homographies based on one or more feature points in the overlap area;
• create a set of left images from the plurality of images, the set of left images representing a first 360° view of the scene;
• create a set of right images from the plurality of images, the set of right images representing a second 360° view of the scene, wherein the set of right images is distinct from the set of left images;
• stitch the set of left images together using the calculated homographies to produce a stitched 360° left image;
• stitch the set of right images together using the calculated homographies to produce a stitched 360° right image that is distinct from the stitched 360° left image;
• provide for display to a left eye of a user at least a portion of the stitched 360° left image;
• and
• provide for display to a right eye of the user at least a portion of the stitched 360° right image.
