Abstract
The method of making the anaglyph on a page of an object comprises the steps of: producing left and right stereoscopic views of the object; and then, producing a left anaglyph image adding a first color on a planar page as a projection or equivalent to a projection of the left view on the page the page being vertically angled to the left image plane; and producing a right anaglyph image adding a contrasting color on the page as a projection or equivalent to a projection of the right view on the page. The perspective plane lies in the plane of the surface. Retinal rivalry is reduced by muting (desaturating) the original anaglyph colors in a color image of the object before adding the colors for the anaglyph.
Claims6
An anaglyph on a surface of an object;
- said anaglyph depicting the position of the object relative to the surface;
- said anaglyph comprising:
- a left anaglyph image on the surface;
- said left anaglyph image having an added first color;
- said left anaglyph image equivalent to a ray map of the object on the surface from a left viewpoint on a left view axis which is not orthogonal to the surface;
- and
- a right anaglyph image on the surface;
- said right anaglyph image having an added contrasting color;
- said right anaglyph image equivalent to a ray map of the object on the surface from a right viewpoint on a right view axis which is not orthogonal to the surface.
An anaglyph on a surface of an object;
- the surface having an associated plane;
- said anaglyph comprising:
- a left anaglyph image of the object on the surface;
- said left anaglyph image having an added first color;
- and
- a right anaglyph image of the object on the surface;
- said right anaglyph image having an added contrasting color;
- whereby, when said anaglyph is viewed stereographically, the perspective plane lies in the plane of the surface.
A method of making an anaglyph on a surface of an object;
- the method comprising the steps of:
- producing left and right stereoscopic images of the object by
- producing a left view of the object on a left image plane orthogonal to a viewing axis not orthogonal to the surface;
- and
- producing a right view of the object on a right image plane orthogonal to a viewing axis not orthogonal to the surface;
- producing a left anaglyph image adding a first color on a surface as equivalent to a projection of the left view on the surface;
- and
- producing a right anaglyph image adding a contrasting color on the surface as equivalent to a projection of the right view on the surface.
A method of making an anaglyph on a planar page of an object;
- the method comprising:
- producing left and right stereoscopic images of the object by
- producing a left view of the object on a left image plane orthogonal to a viewing axis not orthogonal to the page;
- and
- producing a right view of the object on a right image plane orthogonal to a viewing axis not orthogonal to the page;
- producing a left anaglyph image by projecting the left view on the planar page;
- producing a right anaglyph image by projecting the right view on the planar page;
- adding a first color to the left anaglyph image;
- and adding a contrasting color to the right anaglyph image.
