Processing of digital motion images

A data processing apparatus comprising:

• memory for storage of image data including a first set of motion image frames for a first eye view and at least one image frame for a second eye view;
• and a processor configured to identify an object in a first image frame from the first eye view at a given time t;
• use a planar tracker to generate a homography relating to apparent movement of the object between the first image frame from the first eye view at the given time to a first image frame from the second eye view at a similar time t′;
• and use the homography to enhance processing of image(s) in the first and/or the second eye view.

A computer readable medium including at least computer program code for processing of motion images, the motion images including a first set of motion image frames associated with a first eye view and a second set of motion image frames associated with a second eye view, the computer readable medium comprising:

• computer program code for identifying an object in a first image frame from the first set of motion image frames at a given time t;
• computer program code for generating a homography relating to apparent movement of the object between the first image frame from the first set of motion image frames at the given time t and a first image frame from the second set of motion image frames at a similar time t′;
• and
• computer program code for using the homography to enhance processing of one or more of the motion images.

A method for processing of motion images, the motion images including a first set of motion image frames associated with a first eye view and a second set of motion image frames associated with a second eye view, the method comprising:

• identifying an object in a first image frame from the first set of motion image frames at a given time t;
• generating a homography relating to apparent movement of the object between the first image frame from the first set of motion image frames and a corresponding first image frame from the second set of motion image frames;
• and
• using the homography to enhance processing of one or more of the motion images.
