METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR CREATING A VIEW-ANGLE DEPENDENT 2D AND/OR 3D IMAGE/VIDEO UTILIZING A MONOSCOPIC VIDEO CAMERA ARRAY

摘要

2D images and corresponding depth information are concurrently captured via an array of monoscopic sensing devices such as a monoscopic video camera array. The captured 2D images and the captured corresponding depth information are utilized to determine an image mapping function based on view angles. The captured 2D images and the captured corresponding depth information may be modified or adjusted to a given view angle through the determined image mapping function to compose a corresponding 3D image for the given view angle. Regression analysis may be performed to determine the image mapping function by fitting the captured 2D images and the captured corresponding depth information to known view angles of the monoscopic video camera array. 2D image data and corresponding depth information are determined for the given view angle utilizing the determined image mapping function so as to compose corresponding 2D and/or 3D images/video for the given view angle.
