Spatial image processing with adjustable rectification of stereoscopic image pairs

An apparatus for processing image data, comprising:

• at least one memory;
• and
• at least one processor coupled to the at least one memory, the at least one processor configured to:
• obtain a pair of images corresponding to a scene, wherein the pair of images includes first image data of the scene obtained using a first camera and second image data of the scene obtained using a second camera, and wherein the pair of images is associated with a first zoom level;
• obtain information indicative of a second zoom level, wherein the second zoom level is different from the first zoom level;
• determine, based on the second zoom level, a rectification matrix corresponding to the second camera;
• generate zoomed second image data based on warping a portion of the second image data using the rectification matrix, wherein the portion of the second image data is determined based on the second zoom level;
• and
• output a zoomed pair of images corresponding to the scene and associated with the second zoom level, wherein the zoomed pair of images includes the zoomed second image data and zoomed first image data comprising a portion of the first image data corresponding to the second zoom level.
