A system and method for stereo matching of at least two images, e.g., a stereoscopic image pair, employing a global optimization function, e.g., a belief propagation function, that utilizes dynamic programming as a preprocessing step are provided. The system and method of the present disclosure provide for acquiring a first image and a second image from a scene, estimating the disparity of at least one point in the first image with at least one corresponding point in the second image, and minimizing the estimated disparity using a belief propagation function, e.g., a global optimization function, wherein the belief propagation function is initialized with a result of a deterministic matching function, e.g., dynamic programming, applied to the first and second image to speed up the belief propagation function. The system and method further generates a disparity map from the estimated disparity and converts the disparity map into a depth map.

A system and method for recovering three-dimensional (3D) particle systems from two-dimensional (2D) images are provided. The system and method of the present invention provide for identifying a fuzzy object in a two-dimensional (2D) image; selecting a particle system from a plurality of predetermined particle systems, the selected particle system relating to a predefined fuzzy object; generating at least one particle of the selected particle system; simulating the at least one particle to update states of the at least one particle; rendering the selected particle system; comparing the rendered particle system to the identified fuzzy object in the 2D image; and storing the selected particle system if the comparison result is within an acceptable threshold, wherein the stored particle system represents the recovered geometry of the fuzzy object.

A method, apparatus and system for synchronizing between two recording modes includes identifying a common event in the two recording modes. The event in time is recognized for a higher accuracy mode of the two modes. The event is predicted in a lower accuracy mode of the two modes by determining a time when the event occurred between frames in the lower accuracy mode. The event in the higher accuracy mode is synchronized to the lower accuracy mode to provide sub-frame accuracy alignment between the two modes. In one embodiment of the invention, the common event includes the closing of a clap slate, and the two modes include audio and video recording modes.

A system and method for compositing 3D images that combines parts of or at least a portion of two or more images having 3D properties to create a 3D image. The system and method of the present disclosure provides for acquiring at least two three-dimensional (3D) images, obtaining metadata (e.g., lighting, geometry, and object information) relating to the at least two 3D images, mapping the metadata of the at least two 3D images into a single 3D coordinate system, and compositing a portion of each of the at least two 3D images into a single 3D image. The single 3D image can be rendered into a desired format (e.g., stereo image pair). The system and method can associate the rendered output with relevant metadata (e.g., interocular distance for stereo image pairs).

A method and system for modeling light in time and space are provided. The method and system of the present disclosure collect light readings, e.g., on a motion picture set, at different positions and times to build a light model to be used for visual effects (VFX) compositing. The light model represents the light distribution across space and/or time for a predetermined physical space. Using the light model, the lighting can then be predicted or interpolated at intermediate or other positions and/or times for which no specific light readings were obtained. The light models can be used for rendering objects (e.g., natural or CG elements) in a scene as if they were in that space.

A system and method is provided for model fitting and registration of objects for 2D-to-3D conversion of images to create stereoscopic images. The system and method of the present disclosure provides for acquiring at least one two-dimensional (2D) image, identifying at least one object of the at least one 2D image, selecting at least one 3D model from a plurality of predetermined 3D models, the selected 3D model relating to the identified at least one object, registering the selected 3D model to the identified at least one object, and creating a complementary image by projecting the selected 3D model onto an image plane different than the image plane of the at least one 2D image. The registering process can be implemented using geometric approaches or photometric approaches.

A system and method for the color correction of an image using three-dimensional, geometrical information of the capture environment of the image includes determining geometrical properties of at least a portion of the image and modifying a look of at least the portion of the image by altering a value of at least one of the determined geometrical properties and using image formation theory. In one embodiment of the present invention, the geometrical properties of the image include at least one of light properties, surface color, reflectance properties, and scene geometry of the at least one portion of the image. In accordance with the present invention, the geometrical properties of the image are alternatively determined by using sensing devices, by inferring the geometrical properties from the image itself, or by user input.
