Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Systems and methods of 3D image processing are disclosed. In a particular embodiment, a three-dimensional (3D) media player is configured to receive input data including at least a first image corresponding to a scene and a second image corresponding to the scene and to provide output data to a 3D display device. The 3D media player is responsive to user input including at least one of a zoom command and a pan command. The 3D media player includes a convergence control module configured to determine a convergence point of a 3D rendering of the scene responsive to the user input.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method comprising: selecting a first point within a first image based on a variation within image data corresponding to the first image; locating a second point within a second image, wherein the second point corresponds to the first point and wherein the first image and the second image correspond to a single scene; determining whether a distance between the first point and the second point exceeds a threshold distance that the second point can be shi…
