Abstract
Described herein are methods and apparatus to adjust the convergence point of a stereoscopic image pair captured by an imaging device. In one method, a first image and a second image of a stereoscopic image pair are provided, and then shifting or cropping of the first image is performed to align the first and second image. This shifting or cropping is performed while preserving the second image. The method then includes determining a target horizontal image disparity based on a desired convergence point of the stereoscopic image pair and when the target horizontal disparity is greater than a predetermined maximum, the cropping of an outside dimension of the first image is limited. In some implementations it is limited to the predetermined maximum.
