Visualizing StereoPairs in a Single Color Image
StereoEyes is a program written to convert greyscale stereopair images
to a single color image (an anaglyph), viewable with red/blue goggles (reminiscent
of '50s monster flicks). The program is a simple DOS utility
that reads in greyscale TIFF files, and outputs an RGB TIFF file.
For a sample anaglyph showing clay particles in 3D (LARGE image!), click
here. The image shows some clay particles flocculated
onto a piece of filter paper. The 3D structure of the clay, and the
depth of the pores, are readily visible.
The program is written in Turbo Pascal 7.0, and the executable and source
code are in the public domain.
From the program:
Usage: StereoI <image file 1> <image file 2> <output file>
[vog#b#],
where:
<image file 1> and <image file 2> are names of existing
8-bit
greyscale TIFF images of approximately the same
size, with
<image file 1> being the left side of the stereo
pair, and
<output file> is a new file name for the resulting stereo
image.
[v] disables verbose output (default = on),
[o] allows overwriting of an existing output file (default =
off).
[g#] specifies the intensity of green (0.0..1.0) in the non-red
channel, and
[b#] specifies the intensity of blue (0.0..1.0) in the non-red
channel (default is g1.0b1.0).
