Abstract
This work approaches the visualization of natural stereo images through webcams, in real-time. After analyzing the conventional stereo model geometry and its constraints related to viewer’s movement, it became necessary to eliminate those geometric constrains, when applying the model to visualizing stereoscopic webcams images in the context of remote interactions. Then, based on natural human binocular vision geometry, we propose a stereo processing model for short distance visualization.
