A system and methodology provide for generation of a stereo video from a mono video. A mono video is partitioned into shots, where each shot including one or more frames of the mono video. The mono video frames are used as the left frames in the stereo video. Depth parameters are determined for each shot. A pixel depth map is created for each frame of each shot. The right frames for the stereo video are created by shifting pixels from the left frames laterally to occupy new locations in the right frames. A pixel's shift is based on the depth parameters and the pixel depth. In aggregate, pixel shifts will cause objects to appear in different locations in the right frame relative to where they appeared in the left frame. The effect upon the viewer is that the stereo video will provide an enhanced illusion of depth for the viewer.
