1. A method of setting a baseline and a convergence distance of a multiple camera rig, the method comprising:
determining a plurality of sample point depths representing distances between the multiple camera rig and a plurality of sample points in a three-dimensional scene within a field of view of the multiple camera rig;
setting the convergence distance to be an average sample point depth of the plurality of sample point depths;
determining a minimum sample point depth of the plurality of sample point depths; and
setting the baseline to be a negative inverse of a difference between the minimum sample point depth and the convergence distance.
