Stereoscopic 360-degree image/video generation and 3D display system

A stereoscopic 360-degree image/video generation and 3D display system comprising:

• a generation platform configured to generate a stereoscopic 360-degree image/video by inferring a disparity map from a 360-degree image/video;
• and
• a display platform configured to perform three-dimensional (3D) display on a 3D display device by scanning the stereoscopic 360-degree image/video generated by the generation platform,
• wherein the generation platform comprises:
• an image capturing module configured to generate a 360-degree image by utilizing multiple cameras or a time-based image overlay technique;
• a disparity map generation module configured to project images corresponding to tangent surfaces of spherical coordinate systems onto the 360-degree image, then infer a disparity map of each image using artificial intelligence (AI) technology, and inverse-project this disparity map onto the spherical coordinate system to generate a 360-degree image disparity map;
• and
• an opposite eye viewpoint image generation module configured to generate a 360-degree image corresponding to another field of view by utilizing the 360-degree image and the 360-degree image disparity map.
