ABSTRACT:
A method of creating a complementary stereoscopic image pair is described. The method includes receiving a first 2D image comprising image data, where the first 2D image is captured from a first camera location. The method also includes projecting at least a portion of the first 2D image onto computer-generated geometry. The image data has depth values associated with the computer-generated geometry. The system includes rendering, using the computer-generated geometry and a second camera location that differs from the first camera location, a second 2-D image that is stereoscopically complementary to the first 2-D image, and infilling image data that is absent from the second 2-D image.
