  • Method and system for disparity adjustment during stereoscopic zoom
    Patent number: 9294751
    Abstract: A method for zooming a stereoscopic image appearing on an electronic display of a stereoscopic image displaying device. The stereoscopic image has horizontal disparity and is generated by an electronic processor from stereoscopic image data stored in a memory as a left-eye image pixel map and a right-eye image pixel map. The horizontal disparity of the stereoscopic image data is adjusted to produce disparity-adjusted, scaled stereoscopic image data based on a heuristic defining a relationship between a user zoom request, a predetermined stereoscopic factor and a relative horizontal shift between the left-eye image pixel map and the right-eye image pixel map. A zoomed stereoscopic image corresponding to the disparity-adjusted, scaled stereoscopic image data is displayed.
