Abstract
A method and system for processing stereoscopic images includes a computer program operable to acquire stereoscopic data from image sensors. The computer program is further operable to process the stereoscopic data from image sensors into output that can be satisfactorily resolved by human vision.
Claims30
A process for creating stereoscopic images resolvable by human vision, the process comprising the steps of:
- providing two images in at least one digital image array;
- utilizing a computerized system to manipulate at least one of the images such that a stereoscopic effect is created that can be resolved by human vision;
- and
- displaying the stereoscopic images.
A process for creating stereoscopic images resolvable by human vision, the process comprising the steps of:
- utilizing an image sensor for acquiring two images in at least one digital image array;
- electronically transferring the at least one digital image array acquired from the image sensor to a storage medium;
- utilizing a computerized system operably connected to the storage medium to selectively retrieve and manipulate at least one of the images, including assigning left and right positions to the images and aligning the images relative to one another to provide proper interocular spacing such that a stereoscopic effect is created that can be resolved by human vision;
- and
- displaying the stereoscopic images on an electronic screen or printing the stereoscopic images.
The process of claim 120 including an image splitting device associated with the image sensor for creating left and right images in single digital image array, and including the step of splitting the single digital image array into two separate digital image arrays corresponding to left and right images.
