Abstract
Systems and methods for three-dimensional enhancement of two dimensional images are disclosed. One method includes the steps of selecting a first selection and a second selection within an image, the image including a plurality of pixels; calculating a scaling factor for each pixel in a set of pixels in the image based at least in part on the first and second selections, the scaling factor indicating a relative depth of a pixel; applying a filter to the set of pixels, the filter including at least one filter difference for each pixel in the set of pixels; generating a modified image at least by modifying a pixel attribute for each pixel in the set of pixels based at least in part on the scaling factor and the filter difference; and outputting the modified image.
