  • Patent number: 11595634
    Abstract: One or more stereoscopic images are generated based on a single monoscopic image that may be obtained from a camera sensor. Each stereoscopic image includes a first digital image and a second digital image that, when viewed using any suitable stereoscopic viewing technique, result in a user or software program receiving a three-dimensional effect with respect to the elements included in the stereoscopic images. The monoscopic image may depict a geographic setting of a particular geographic location and the resulting stereoscopic image may provide a three-dimensional (3D) rendering of the geographic setting. Use of the stereoscopic image helps a system obtain more accurate detection and ranging capabilities. The stereoscopic image may be any configuration of the first digital image (monoscopic) and the second digital image (monoscopic) that together may generate a 3D effect as perceived by a viewer or software program.

The 3D data frames render 3D imagery with side-by-side (SXS), top-and-bottom (TB), and frame packing (FP), as well as others such as full high definition 3D (FHD3D), frame sequential 3D, passive 3D rendering or the like. System and methods are provided for creating inverse pixel strips, and preparing 3D images that include the inverse pixel strips. Systems and methods are provided for expanding images in a plane without significant loss of resolution.
