Abstract
A method, apparatus and computer program products are provided for facilitating stereo vision through the use of multi-layer shifting. One example method includes receiving a first RGB image and a second RGB image, each captured from a different position, generating corresponding depth images, performing a first segmentation on the depth images, performing a second segmentation on the RGB images resulting in a first object mask and a second object mask, stitching of the background layers to form a background layer, generating a series of images comprising a first image representative of a view from the first position and a second image representative of a view from the second position, the series of images demonstrating a shifting of an object layer occurring at a higher speed than a shifting of the background layer.
