For deriving maximum benefit from photographs they are normally studied stereoscopically. Instruments in use today for three dimensional studies of aerial photographs. If instead of looking at the original scene, we observe photos of that scene taken from two different viewpoints, we can under suitable conditions, obtain a three dimensional impression from the two dimensional photos. This impression may be very similar to the impression given by the original scene, but in practice this is rarely so. A pair of photograph taken from two cameras station but covering some common area constitutes and stereoscopic pair which when viewed in a certain manner gives an impression as if a three dimensional model of the common area is being seen.

Our method computes multi-perspective stereoscopic output images from a 3D light field that satisfy arbitrary prescribed disparity constraints. We achieve this by computing piecewise continuous cuts (shown in red) through the light field that enable per-pixel disparity control. In this particular example we employed gradient domain processing to emphasize the depth of the airplane while suppressing disparities in the rest of the scene.

  • A Novel Walk-Through 3D Display
    A Novel Walk-through 3D Display Stephen DiVerdia, Ismo Rakkolainena & b, Tobias Höllerera, Alex Olwala & c a University of California at Santa Barbara, Santa Barbara, CA 93106, USA b FogScreen Inc., Tekniikantie 12, 02150 Espoo, Finland c Kungliga Tekniska Högskolan, 100 44 Stockholm, Sweden ABSTRACT We present a novel walk-through 3D display based on the patented FogScreen, an “immaterial” indoor 2D projection screen, which enables high-quality projected images in free space. We extend the basic 2D FogScreen setup in three ma- jor ways. First, we use head tracking to provide correct perspective rendering for a single user. Second, we add support for multiple types of stereoscopic imagery. Third, we present the front and back views of the graphics content on the two sides of the FogScreen, so that the viewer can cross the screen to see the content from the back. The result is a wall- sized, immaterial display that creates an engaging 3D visual. Keywords: Fog screen, display technology, walk-through, two-sided, 3D, stereoscopic, volumetric, tracking 1. INTRODUCTION Stereoscopic images have captivated a wide scientific, media and public interest for well over 100 years. The principle of stereoscopic images was invented by Wheatstone in 1838 [1]. The general public has been excited about 3D imagery since the 19th century – 3D movies and View-Master images in the 1950's, holograms in the 1960's, and 3D computer graphics and virtual reality today. Science fiction movies and books have also featured many 3D displays, including the popular Star Wars and Star Trek series. In addition to entertainment opportunities, 3D displays also have numerous ap- plications in scientific visualization, medical imaging, and telepresence.

  • Stereogram Design for Testing Local Stereopsis
    Stereogram design for testing local stereopsis Gerald Westheimer and Suzanne P. McKee The basic ability to utilize disparity as a depth cue, local stereopsis, does not suffice to respond to random dot stereograms. They also demand complex perceptual processing to resolve the depth ambiguities which help mask their pattern from monocular recognition. This requirement may cause response failure in otherwise good stereo subjects and seems to account for the long durations of exposure required for target disparities which are still much larger than the best stereo thresholds. We have evaluated spatial stimuli that test local stereopsis and have found that targets need to be separated by at least 10 min arc to obtain good stereo thresholds. For targets with optimal separation of components and brief exposure duration (250 msec), thresh- olds fall in the range of 5 to 15 sec arc. Intertrial randomization of target lateral placement can effectively eliminate monocular cues and yet allow excellent stereoacuity. Stereoscopic acuity is less seriously affected by a small amount of optical defocus when target elements are widely, separated than when they are crowded, though in either case the performance decrement is higher than for ordinary visual acuity. Key words: stereoscopic acuity, local stereopsis, global stereopsis, optical defocus A subject is said to have stereopsis if he can are very low indeed, certainly under 10 sec detect binocular disparity of retinal images arc in a good observer, and such low values and associate the quality of depth with it. In can be attained with exposures of half a sec- its purest form this would manifest itself by ond or even less.
