Methods, systems, and computer-readable storage media for creating three-dimensional (3D) images of a scene

A method for creating a three-dimensional image of a scene, the method comprising:

• using at least one processor for:
• receiving a plurality of captured images;
• determining matching image features among the plurality of captured images;
• determining a transformation to align at least one of the matched image features;
• applying the transformation to a first captured image among the plurality of captured images such that the first captured image is aligned to a second captured image among the plurality of captured images to create a plurality of transformed images;
• defining a transformed image pair using one of transformed and captured images;
• calculating parallax values of the matched image features of the transformed image pair;
• determining whether the parallax values do not meet a predetermined criteria;
• in response to determining that the parallax values do not meet the predetermined criteria, altering a stereoscopic characteristic of the transformed image pair to create an adjusted image pair;
• and
• defining a three-dimensional image based on the adjusted image pair.
