US Patent 9094675 Processing image data from multiple cameras for motion pictures

An approach is disclosed for generating stereoscopic image sequences. The approach includes receiving a plurality of image sequences, each image sequence captured from a distinct camera or other capture device in a multi-camera array. One image sequence is a primary image sequence and the other image sequences are secondary image sequences. The approach further includes generating, from the primary and at least one or more of the secondary image sequences, depth maps corresponding to images of the primary image sequence and generating, for each image in the primary image sequence, based on at least the depth maps and the corresponding images of the primary image sequence, stereoscopic images of a stereoscopic image sequence.
