Abstract
The present application includes a computer implemented method including at least two modes for analyzing a stereoscopic image corresponding to a two dimensional image. The method includes analyzing one or more layers of the two dimensional image to determine a depth pixel offset for every pixel in the two dimensional image and creating by the processing element a depth map, such as a gray scale map, by coloring every pixel a color shade based on the respective depth pixel offset for the pixel. The method further includes displaying on a display an output image corresponding to the stereoscopic image, receiving a first user selection corresponding a first depth pixel offset, determining a plurality of pixels of the output image corresponding to the first depth pixel offset, and applying a first identifier to the plurality of pixels on the output image corresponding to the first depth pixel offset. Additionally, in a first mode the output image displayed includes the first identifier and in a second mode the output image displayed includes the depth map and the first identifier.
