Stereoscopic editing for video production, post-production and display adaptation

A non-transitory computer-readable medium containing a program which, when executed, performs an operation comprising:

• providing at least one video frame, each video frame comprising at least two stereo images and having a stereoscopic property characterizing a stereoscopic relationship between the at least two stereo images of the respective video frame;
• and
• stereoscopically modifying a video frame by altering at least a first of the stereo images of the video frame using at least one mapping function and by operation of one or more computer processors when executing the program, wherein the first stereo image has a first set of pixels and a second set of pixels;
• wherein the at least one mapping function comprises a non-linear warp function configured to warp the first set of pixels to a greater extent than the second set of pixels, in mapping from the stereoscopically unmodified first stereo image to the stereoscopically modified first stereo image, thereby modifying the stereoscopic property of the video frame.

A system, comprising:

• a computer processor;
• and
• a memory containing a program, which when executed by the computer processor is configured to perform an operation comprising:
• providing at least one video frame, each video frame comprising at least two stereo images and having a stereoscopic property characterizing a stereoscopic relationship between the at least two stereo images of the respective video frame;
• and
• stereoscopically modifying a video frame by altering at least a first of the stereo images of the video frame using at least one mapping function, wherein the first stereo image has a first set of pixels and a second set of pixels;
• wherein the at least one mapping function comprises a non-linear warp function configured to warp the first set of pixels to a greater extent than the second set of pixels, in mapping from the stereoscopically unmodified first stereo image to the stereoscopically modified first stereo image, thereby modifying the stereoscopic property of the video frame.

A computer-implemented method to modify a stereoscopic property of a video frame, the method comprising:

• providing at least one video frame including the video frame, each video frame comprising at least two stereo images and having a stereoscopic property characterizing a stereoscopic relationship between the at least two stereo images of the respective video frame;
• and
• stereoscopically modifying the video frame by altering at least a first of the stereo images of the video frame by operation of one or more computer processors and based on at least one predefined aspect of disparity, wherein the first stereo image has a first set of pixels and a second set of pixels;
• wherein the first set of pixels is warped to a greater extent than the second set of pixels, when the stereoscopically unmodified first stereo image is mapped to the stereoscopically modified first stereo image by a non-linear warp function, thereby modifying the stereoscopic property of the video frame.

• and
• stereoscopically modifying the video frame by altering at least a first of the stereo images of the video frame by operation of one or more computer processors and using at least one predefined disparity mapping operator, wherein the first stereo image has a first set of pixels and a second set of pixels;
• wherein the first set of pixels is warped to a greater extent than the second set of pixels, when the stereoscopically unmodified first stereo image is mapped to the stereoscopically modified first stereo image by a non-linear warp function, thereby modifying the stereoscopic property of the video frame.
