Abstract
An image processing is applied in common to image data for a first image and to image data for a second image. The image data for the first image and the image data for the second image are moreover compared as a basis for matching a visual appearance of images for a stereoscopic presentation. The visual appearance can be matched in the current pair of images by adjusting at least one of the images accordingly and/or in future pairs of images by adjusting parameters of at least one of the image capturing components providing the image data.
Claims24
A method comprising:
- applying, by a processor executing code stored in a memory, an image processing in common to image data for a left image and to image data for a right image;
- comparing, by a processor executing code stored in a memory, the image data for the left image and the image data for the right image as a basis for matching a visual appearance of left and right images for a stereoscopic presentation;
- and
- performing a cropping of the image data for the left image and of the image data for the right image for obtaining data of overlapping parts of the left image and the right image, wherein the image processing is applied only to image data of the overlapping parts.
An apparatus comprising:
- a processor,
- a memory including program code, the memory and program code configured to with the processor, cause the apparatus to establish:
- an image processing component configured to apply an image processing in common to image data for a left image and to image data for a right image;
- an image comparison component configured to compare the image data for the left image and the image data for the right image as a basis for matching a visual appearance of left and right images for a stereoscopic presentation;
- and
- a cropping component configured to perform a cropping of the image data for the left image and of the image data for the right image for obtaining data of overlapping parts of the left image and the right image, wherein the image processing component is configured to apply the image processing only to image data of the overlapping parts.
A non-transitory computer readable medium storing program code, the program code realizing the following when executed by a processor:
- applying, by a processor executing code stored in a memory, an image processing in common to image data for a left image and to image data for a right image;
- comparing, by a processor executing code stored in a memory, the image data for the left image and the image data for the right image as a basis for matching a visual appearance of left and right images for a stereoscopic presentation;
- and
- performing a cropping of the image data for the left image and of the image data for the right image for obtaining data of overlapping parts of the left image and the right image, wherein the image processing is applied only to image data of the overlapping parts.
An apparatus comprising:
- means for applying an image processing in common to image data for a left image and to image data for a right image;
- means for comparing the image data for the left image and the image data for the right image as a basis for matching a visual appearance of left and right images for a stereoscopic presentation;
- and
- means for performing a cropping of the image data for the left image and of the image data for the right image for obtaining data of overlapping parts of the left image and the right image, wherein the image processing is applied only to image data of the overlapping parts.
