Old stereoscopy – 3D imaging - 10 fotos

3 comments | Post a comment | |

Stereoscopy, stereoscopic imaging or 3-D (three-dimensional) imaging is any technique capable of recording three-dimensional visual information or creating the illusion of depth in an image. The illusion of depth in a photograph, movie, or other two-dimensional image is created by presenting a slightly different image to each eye. Many 3D displays use this method to convey images. It was first discovered by Sir Charles Wheatstone in 1840.[1] Stereoscopy is used in photogrammetry and also for entertainment through the production of stereograms. Stereoscopy is useful in viewing images rendered from large multi-dimensional data sets such as are produced by experimental data. Modern industrial three dimensional photography may use 3D scanners to detect and record three dimensional information. [2] The three-dimensional depth information can be reconstructed from two images using a computer by corresponding the pixels in the left and right images. Solving the Correspondence problem in the field of Computer Vision aims to create meaningful depth information from two images.

Traditional stereoscopic photography consists of creating a 3-D illusion starting from a pair of 2-D images. The easiest way to create depth perception in the brain is to provide the eyes of the viewer with two different images, representing two perspectives of the same object, with a minor deviation similar to the perspectives that both eyes naturally receive in binocular vision. If eyestrain and distortion are to be avoided, each of the two 2-D images preferably should be presented to each eye of the viewer so that any object at infinite distance seen by the viewer should be perceived by that eye while it is oriented straight ahead, the viewer’s eyes being neither crossed nor diverging. When the picture contains no object at infinite distance, such as a horizon or a cloud, the pictures should be spaced correspondingly closer together.

In this post of stereoscopic imaging from Okinawa Soba’s gallery “Not Japan”,  we can see classic popular personalities.

    [...] Se trata de usar dos imágenes muy similares pero que han sido tomadas desde dos puntos diferentes ( una por cada ojo para tener sensación de profundidad), se colocan una junto a la otra y bizqueamos (no es broma). Cuando vemos sólo una imagen y bizqueamos se desdobla en dos una a la derecha y otra a la izquierda del original. Si vemos dos imágenes , una junto a la otra, y bizqueamos estas se transforman en cuatro. Es decir, conseguimos tener una a la derecha y otra a la izquierda de cada una de las originales, pero una feliz coincidencia consigue que “la izquierda” de una y “la derecha ” de la otra coincidan en el centro, se superpondrán y mezclarán consiguiendo poner las dos imágenes diferentes en una sola (este efecto lo consigue nuestro cerebro). Aquí os dejo unos cuantos ejemplos. [...]
