  • 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.

  • Patent number: 10600237
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for rendering 3D images or video without significantly losing resolution or increasing the resolution. The systems and methods for 3D rendering technology can work with different types of 3D data frames that include left eye image and right eye image sub-frames. 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.

  • Patent number: 10554954
    Abstract: A method of adjusting depth in a stereoscopic video may include generating a left-eye viewing frame of a stereoscopic video. The left-eye viewing frame may include a plurality of left-eye viewing frame elements. The method may also include generating a right-eye viewing frame of the stereoscopic video. The right-eye viewing frame may correspond to the left-eye viewing frame and may include a plurality of right-eye viewing frame elements. Further, each right-eye viewing frame element may correspond to one of the left-eye viewing frame elements. The method may additionally include determining an offset between each right-eye viewing frame element and its corresponding left-eye viewing frame element. Further, the method may include applying a uniform summing factor to each offset to uniformly shift by substantially the same amount each right-eye viewing frame element with respect to its corresponding left-eye viewing frame element such that a perceived focus point is adjusted.
