Abstract
A method and system are provided for processing image content. The method comprises receiving information about a content image captured at least by one camera. The content includes multi-view representation of an image including both distorted and undistorted areas. The camera parameters and image parameters are then obtained and used to determine to which areas are undistorted and which areas are distorted in said image. This is used to calculate depth map of the image using the determined undistorted and distorted information. A final stereoscopic image is then rendered that uses the distorted and undistorted areas and calculation of depth map.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving information about a content image captured by at least one pair of cameras, said content image including a multi-view representation of an image including both distorted and undistorted content;
- obtaining, at least one of a camera parameter and an image parameter;
- obtaining, using said at least one of the camera parameter and the image parameter, distortion information indicating which content is undistorted and which content is distorted in said multi-view representation;
- calculating a depth map of said image using said distortion information;
- and
- rendering a final stereoscopic image that uses said distortion information and said depth map.
An apparatus comprising one or more processors configured for:
- receiving information about a content image captured by at least one pair of cameras, said content image including a multi-view representation of an image including both distorted and undistorted content;
- obtaining at least one of a camera parameter and an image parameter;
- obtaining, using said at least one of the camera parameter and the image parameter, distortion information indicating which content is undistorted and which content is distorted in said multi-view representation;
- calculating a depth map of said image using said distortion information;
- and
- rendering a final stereoscopic image that uses said distortion information and said depth map.
