Abstract

Printed material for stereoscopic viewing is fabricated by creating images for the left eye and the right eye IL1 and IR1 for stereoscopic viewing, performing correction processing to remove perspective of images in the IL1 and IR1 at a base surface, creating images for the left eye and the right eye IL2 and IR2, and performing anaglyph processing or the like, based on the IL2 and IR2. An image IL for the left eye is created by rendering a projection of each point of a graphic object onto a base surface BS in a projection direction linking a viewpoint position for the left eye VPL to each point of the graphic object OB, and an IMAGE IR FOR THE RIGHT EYE is created by rendering a projection of each point of the graphic object onto the base surface BS in a projection direction linking a viewpoint position for the right eye VPL to each point of the graphic object OB. Printed material for stereoscopic viewing is fabricated by anaglyph processing or the like, based on the IL and IR.

Dependent claims

A method of fabricating printed material for stereoscopic viewing, the method comprising:

using a computer to implement the following steps:
obtaining a first image of an object for a left eye for stereoscopic viewing;
obtaining a first image of the object for a right eye for stereoscopic viewing;
obtaining a second image of the object for the left eye by performing a first correction processing for removing perspective of an image at a first base surface in the first image of the object for the left eye, with respect to an area of the first image of the object for the left eye corresponding to the first base surface, and also performing a second correction processing for removing perspective of an image at a second base surface in the first image of the object for the left eye, with respect to an area of the first image of the object for the left eye corresponding to the second base surface, the second base surface having a predetermined angle with respect to the first base surface;
obtaining a second image of the object for the right eye by performing the first correction processing for removing perspective of an image at the first base surface in the first image of the object for the right eye, with respect to an area of the first image of the object for the right eye corresponding to the first base surface, and also performing the second correction processing for removing perspective of an image at the second base surface in the first image of the object for the right eye, with respect to an area of the first image of the object for the right eye corresponding to the second base surface;
and
fabricating printed material for stereoscopic viewing based on the second image of the object for the left eye and the second image of the object for the right eye.

A method of fabricating printed material for stereoscopic viewing, the method comprising:

using a computer to implement the following steps:
obtaining a first image of an object for a left eye for stereoscopic viewing, the first image of the object for the left eye including a photographic image of a subject, first to fourth marks for the left eye, and fifth to eighth marks for the left eye from a viewpoint position for the left eye, the first to fourth marks for the left eye forming a rectangle on a first base surface, the fifth to eighth marks for the left eye forming a rectangle on a second base surface, the second base surface having a predetermined angle with respect to the first base surface;
obtaining a first image of the object for a right eye for stereoscopic viewing, the first image of the object for the right eye including the photographic image of the subject, first to fourth marks for the right eye, and fifth to eighth marks for the right eye from the viewpoint position for the right eye, the first to fourth marks for the right eye forming a rectangle on the first base surface, the fifth to eighth marks for the right eye forming a rectangle on the second base surface;
obtaining a second image of the object for the left eye from the first image of the object for the left eye, by performing a first correction processing which moves the first to fourth marks for the left eye in the first image of the object for the left eye to positions of vertices of a rectangle on the first base surface and also performing a second correction processing which moves the fifth to eighth marks for the left eye in the first image of the object for the left eye to positions of vertices of a rectangle on the second base surface;
obtaining a second image of the object for the right eye from the first image of the object for the right eye, by performing the first correction processing which moves the first to fourth marks for the right eye in the first image of the object for the right eye to positions of vertices of a rectangle and also performing the second correction processing which moves the fifth to eighth marks for the right eye in the first image of the object for the right eye to positions of vertices of a rectangle;
and
fabricating printed material for stereoscopic viewing based on the second image of the object for the left eye and the second image of the object for the righteye.
