The method includes determining whether the first and second foreground objects occlude, and generating an occluded combination of the first and second object to form a third foreground object when occlusion occurs. The method further includes applying a transformation to the third foreground object, and generating a copy of the third foreground object with the transformation applied thereto. Then, the third foreground object is generated stereoscopically for display based on the transformed third foreground object displaced relative to the copy of the third foreground object."},"analysis":{"summary":null,"layman_explanation":null,"technical_analysis":null,"business_analysis":null,"faqs":null,"topics":[],"tech_cluster":null},"seo":{"title":"Method and apparatus and computer program for generating a 3 dimensional image from a 2 dimensional image","description":"A method of generating a three dimensional image from a two dimensional image having a background and a first foreground object and a second foreground object.
