Abstract

The process that creates stereo images typically takes from 1.5 to 2 times longer than the algorithm for mono images. This paper presents a fast image-based algorithm for computing stereo images, that needs a little more time than the algorithm for mono images. The presented algorithm uses a single image with depth information (e.g. z-buffer) as an input and produces two images for left and right eye. This algorithm is a simplification of the 3D warping algorithm.

 

Questions to be answered by audience after your talk:

  1. What is the method of filling holes between the pixels?
  2. What are the assumptions for the presented algorithm?
  3. Explain the artifacts produced by the algorithm.
