Anaglyphic stereograms +are easier to perceive in 3-D but require a pair of red/cyan glasses +such as those often used to watch 3-D movies. The goal of +<b>pamsistoaglyph</b> is to help people who have trouble +viewing single-image stereograms see the intriguing 3-D effect.</p> + +<p><b>pamsistoaglyph</b> can convert single-image random-dot +stereograms (SIRDS), wallpaper stereograms, and even dual-image +stereograms to anaglyphic images.</p> + + +<h2 id="options">OPTIONS</h2> + +<p>For most images, no command-line options need to be specified. The +following options are available, however, for unusual +circumstances:</p> + +<dl> +<dt><b>--invert</b></dt> +<dd>Swap the left- and right-eye + images. <b>pamsistoaglyph</b> assumes that its input + represents a wall-eyed stereogram and generates the anaglyphic + image accordingly. If the generated image appears to recede into + the page where it should pop out of the page (and vice versa), + this typically implies that the input image represents a + cross-eyed stereogram. Use <b>--invert</b> to correct + the image depth.</dd> + +<dt><b>--sep</b>=<i>number</i></dt> +<dd>Specify the distance in pixels between the left- and right-eye + images. Essentially, this corresponds to the distance between + repetitions of the background pattern. The <b>--sep</b> + option should rarely be necessary + as <b>pamsistoaglyph</b> is fairly good at determining + automatically the eye-separation distance.</dd> + +<dt><b>--minsep</b>=<i>number</i></dt> +<dd>This option is similar to <b>--sep</b> but + constrains <b>pamsistoaglyph</b> only to + a <i>minimum</i> eye-separation distance. Any distance larger + than <i>number</i> is acceptable. The <b>--minsep</b> + option should rarely be necessary + as <b>pamsistoaglyph</b> is fairly good at determining + automatically the eye-separation distance. The default value for + the minimum eye-separation distance is 10% of the image width; + this value seems to work well in practice.</dd> + +<dt><b>--gray</b>=<i>number</i></dt> +<dd>Limit the number of gray levels to use when searching for the + optimal eye-separation + distance. Because <b>pamsistoaglyph</b> looks for + repeated patterns, it is vulnerable to being confused by slight + variations in color. By reducing the input image to grayscale and + capping the number of gray levels, + <b>pamsistoaglyph</b> ameliorates the effects of + unintentional color variations (such as those caused by conversion + from a low-quality JPEG image, for example). The default of 63 + seems to work well so the <b>--gray</b> option should + rarely be necessary.</dd> +</dl> + + +<h2 id="notes">NOTES</h2> + +<p>The registration algorithm used by <b>pamsistoaglyph</b> +was developed specifically for this program. As far as the author +knows, there are no existing algorithms for converting stereograms to +anaglyphs. The algorithm works as follows:</p> + +<ol> +<li>Convert the image to grayscale to increase the ability to identify + matches.</li> + +<li>Count the number of pixels that match <i>N</i> pixels ahead in the + image for all <i>N</i> in [1, <i>width</i>/2].</li> + +<li>Maintain a running mean (μ) and standard deviation (σ) of + the number of matched pixels.</li> + +<li>Store the <i>N</i> corresponding to each spike in the number of + matched pixels. A spike is defined as a tally that exceeds the + mean plus one, two, or three standard deviations. Only the first + spike of a given standard-deviation multiplier is stored.</li> + +<li>If a tally greater than μ+3σ was encountered, return the + corresponding <i>N</i>. If not, then if a tally greater than + μ+2σ was encountered, return the + corresponding <i>N</i>. If not, then if a tally greater than + μ+σ was encountered, return the + corresponding <i>N</i>. If not, then return the <i>N</i> that + produces the minimum average distance between matched pixels + (i.e., <i>#matches</i> divided by <i>#pixels</i>). If no + such <i>N</i> exceeds the minimum allowable eye-separation value, + return zero to indicate failure.</li> + +<li>If the algorithm returned zero, rerun the algorithm independently + on each row of the input image and return the median of + all <i>N</i> that exceed the minimum allowable eye-separation + value. If no such <i>N</i> exists, abort with an error + message.</li> +</ol> + + +<h2 id="author">AUTHOR</h2> + +<p>Copyright (C) 2009 Scott +Pakin, <a href="mailto:scott+pbm@pakin.org.">scott+pbm@pakin.org.</a></p> + + +<h2 id="seealso">SEE ALSO</h2> + +<p><b><a href="pamstereogram.html">pamstereogram</a></b>, +<b><a href="ppm3d.html">ppm3d</a></b>, +<<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stereogram"> +http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stereogram</a>></p> + + +<hr /> +<h2 id="index">Table Of Contents</h2> + +<ul> +<li><a href="#synopsis">SYNOPSIS</a></li> +<li><a href="#description">DESCRIPTION</a></li> +<li><a href="#options">OPTIONS</a></li> +<li><a href="#notes">NOTES</a></li> +<li><a href="#author">AUTHOR</a></li> +<li><a href="#seealso">SEE ALSO</a></li> +</ul> + +</body> +</html> + diff --git a/pamstereogram.html b/pamstereogram.html index 40836878..6cd571b7 100644 --- a/pamstereogram.html +++ b/pamstereogram.html @@ -202,7 +202,7 @@ every time you run <b>pamstereogram</b>. option), because there is no random element to <b>pamstereogram</b>'s behavior. -<p>This option was new in Netpbm 10.32 (Februrary 2006). +<p>This option was new in Netpbm 10.32 (February 2006). </dl> |
