Abstract
One aspect provides a method for image correction. The method, in one embodiment, includes obtaining two or more simultaneously captured images of an object, wherein the two or more simultaneously captured images are of different perspectives of the object taken from an electronic device. The method, in this embodiment, further includes inputting the two or more simultaneously captured images into an image processing algorithm and generating a disparity map, and applying an image interpolation algorithm to the disparity map to obtain an interpolated image from a virtual camera location.
Claims21
A method for image correction, comprising:
- obtaining two or more simultaneously captured images of an object, wherein the two or more simultaneously captured images are of different perspectives of the object taken from an electronic device;
- inputting the two or more simultaneously captured images into an image processing algorithm and generating a disparity map;
- and
- applying an image interpolation algorithm to the disparity map to obtain an interpolated image from a virtual camera location.
An electronic device, comprising:
- a display having two or more image capture devices associated therewith, the two or more image capture devices separated by a parallax distance (DP);
- and
- storage and processing circuitry associated with the display and two or more image capture devices, the storage and processing circuitry operable to:
- obtain two or more simultaneously captured images of an object from the two or more image capture devices, wherein the two or more simultaneously captured images are of different perspectives of the object;
- generate a disparity image of the two or more simultaneously captured images using an image processing algorithm;
- and
- create an interpolated image from a virtual camera location proximate the display using an image interpolation algorithm.
