Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for managing depths in stereo images. In one implementation, systems and methods are provided for using a procedural shader and automated rendering to match depths of computer-generated images with that of native stereo images, i.e., images recorded using two cameras for stereo imaging. The system and method may employ a checkerboard and a tri-planar shader, and may further employ a texture reference object to make more convenient and intuitive the depth matching.
