Abstract
A stereo image generating method and an electronic apparatus utilizing the method are provided. The electronic apparatus includes a first camera and a second camera capable of capturing stereo images, and a resolution of the first camera is larger than that of the second camera. In the method, a first image is captured by the first camera, and a second image is captured by the second camera. The second image is upscaled to the resolution of the first camera, and a depth map is generated with use of the first image and the upscaled second image. With reference to the depth map, the first image is re-projected to reconstruct a reference image of the second image. An occlusion region in the reference image is detected and compensated by using the upscaled second image. A stereo image including the first image and the compensated reference image is generated.
