Abstract: Three-dimensional color images are produced by combining the red image plane from a left color camera and the blue and green image planes from a right color camera. Techniques for compensating for over or underexposure in a particular image plane are deployed as well as techniques for minimizing subjective disturbance when viewing relatively pure color regions of a 3-dimensional image and for transmission of 3-dimensional color television images to users.

Abstract: In the capture and display of three dimensional images, techniques are provided for controlling the amount of disparity between left and right images used to create a three dimensional representation to permit three dimensional perception which would otherwise be lost as disparity increased beyond psychological and physiological limits. Both mechanical and electronic means for controlling disparity are shown. Techniques are disclosed for creating three dimensional animations which utilize disparity control for adjusting the perceived depth of an object vis-a-vis a neutral plane. When zooming in on an object with a stereo camera pair, the shift in focal length accompanying the zoom is accompanied by a simultaneous shift in disparity so that the stereo effect is not lost when a target object is very close, a moderate distance, or very far from the cameras. Camera separation is changed as a function of target distance to maintain a fixed fraction of the target distance as a default.

Abstract: Three-dimensional color images are produced by combining the red image plane from a left color camera and the blue and green image planes from a right color camera. Techniques for compensating for over or underexposure in a particular image plane are deployed as well as techniques for minimizing subjective disturbance when viewing relatively pure color regions of a 3-dimensional image and for transmission of 3-dimensional color television images to users. TDM and MPEG 2 transmission techniques for stereo image transmission are disclosed. Left and right images are caused to be epipolar to reduce adverse user reaction to extended viewing of stereo images. A three dimensional perspective view may be connected to a stereo view in accordance with the invention.
