Abstract
A system for generating a stereoscopic panoramic image pair having left and right panoramic mosaic images for use in facilitating stereoscopic viewing of a panoramic scene, the system comprising a panoramic image generator and a strip separation value generation module. The panoramic image generator is configured to mosaic together respective left and right image strips from respective ones of a plurality of images to form the respective left and right panoramic images. The panoramic image generator is configured to use strip separation values for the respective images to determine the separation of the respective left and right image strips in generating the respective left and right panoramic images. The strip separation value generation module is configured to generate, for respective ones of said images, the strip separation values so as to provide at least one selected disparity for objects in the panoramic scene.
