Qualitative Aspects of Chromo-Stereoscopy for Depth Perception
Th Toutin · 1997
The display of three dimensional quantitative data sets is a basic topic of research in cartography, image processing and applications related to spatial information. A new application for data visualisation and analysis which combines colour vision and depth perception, has been developed using the effect known as chromo-stereoscopy based on the Einthoven's theory. It enables the generation of flat colour composite images from multisource data in which depth information is coded into colours. When viewed with double prism refraction ChromaDepthTM glasses, a dramatic3D effect is produced. Following a description of the method, the geometric and radiometric processing parameters are qualitatively analysed to assess their impact on the quality of the chromo-stereoscopic images and the depth perception.
