In this talk, we present a method for producing stylized stereoscopic 3D (S3D) line drawings or sketches from S3D photos.
Our method renders contours and silhouettes found in the disparity map and addresses some of the issues that arise when working with 8-bit disparity. Finally, we add shading to our stylized S3D line drawings to improve the perception of depth and surface shape.
