Abstract

Anaglyph stereo provides a low-budget solution to viewing stereoscopic images. However, it may suffer from ghosting and bad color reproduction. Here we address the first issue. We present a novel technique to perceptually calibrate an anaglyph stereoscopic system and to use the calibration to eliminate ghosting from the anaglyph image. We build a model based on luminance perception by the left and right eyes through the anaglyph glasses. We do not rely on power spectra of a monitor or on transmission spectra of anaglyph glasses, but show how the five parameters of our model can be captured with just a few measurements within a minute. We present how full color, half color, and gray anaglyphs can be rendered with our technique and compare them to the traditional method.
