Creating a three-dimensional image via a wide-angle camera sensor

An image capturing device, comprising:

• a wide-angle camera sensor that captures a two-dimensional image of a scene;
• a depth detection module that determines depth information of the scene;
• and
• a processor that:
• generates, from the depth information, a depth map that depicts a depth of the scene in a third dimension;
• and
• generates a wide-angle three-dimensional image by merging the depth map and the two-dimensional image.

A computer program product comprising:

• a computer readable storage device;
• and
• program code on the computer readable storage device that, when executed by a processor associated with an image capturing device, enables the image capturing device to provide the functionality of:
• capturing, via a wide-angle camera sensor of the image capturing device, a two-dimensional image of a scene;
• determining depth information of the scene;
• generating, from the depth information, a depth map that depicts a depth of the scene in a third dimension;
• and
• generating a wide-angle three-dimensional image by merging the depth map and the two-dimensional image.
