Abstract
A stereoscopic graphics display system (10) includes a binocular viewing model generator (96) that automatically adapts a binocular viewing model to a selected stereoscopic image. An extrema accumulation unit (90) identifies extrema data corresponding to a region that bounds the selected image. The extrema data are delivered to the binocular viewing model generator, which designates a zero disparity location within the region and a disparity angle that is compatible with the dimensions of the selected image. The binocular viewing model generated in accordance with the selected image allow it to be rendered with improved three-dimensional qualities.
