Abstract

A three dimensional image is derived from two-dimensional images. At least one of the two-dimensional images has a predetermined number of pixels. Depth measurements are derived from the two-dimensional images. The number of derived depth measurements is substantially equal to the predetermined number of pixels. The three-dimensional image is derived from the two-dimensional digital images and the depth measurements.
