New Dialog Box Table of ContentsBackPreviousNext

This dialog box lets you create a new stereoscopic image from three different sources:

1- You can create a new stereoscopic image from two image files.  This is the most usual case.  The aspect ratio can be imported from the left image file or it can be specified directly.  The Reset PPM button simply reset both Horizontal and Vertical pixels per meter values to 2952 pixels per meter (75 pixels per inch).


 


2- You can create a new stereoscopic image from an interlaced image file.  The left image is created by using the even scan lines (0,2,4,...) and the right image is created by using the odd scan lines (1,3,5,...).  Almost all the time the left and right images, contained in an interlaced image file, have only the half of the total horizontal scan lines of the stereoscopic image they represent.  In such case, in order to display correctly the stereoscopic image, you must specify directly an aspect ratio of 2:1 (HzPix : VtPix) like 2952:1476.   You can also indicate to import the physical size from the image file.  The Reset PPM button simply reset the Horizontal and Vertical pixels per meter values to 2952 pixels per meter (75 pixels per inch) and 1476 pixels per meter (37.5 pixels per inch) respectively.
 

3- You can create a new stereoscopic image from a red blue anaglyph image file.  The left image is created by using only the red component and the right image is created by using only the green and blue components.  The result is that no green or blue lights are present in the left image and no red light is present in the right image.  So if you want this stereoscopic image to be viewed in display modes other that the red blue anaglyph display mode, you must select the Convert the resulting left/right images to grayscale check box.  The only case to not select this check box is when you are creating a stereoscopic image using a pseudocolor red blue anaglyph image file, and you want to keep the pseudocolors.  But in this last case, the stereoscopic image can only be viewed correctly in the Pseudocolor Red Blue Anaglyph display mode.  The aspect ratio can be imported from the image file or it can be specified directly.  The Reset PPM button simply reset both Horizontal and Vertical pixels per meter values to 2952 pixels per meter (75 pixels per inch).
