img2stereo

Overview

img2stereo is a wrapping tool for converting images for left and right eye into anaglyph images that can be viewed in 3D with standard red/cyan glasses. You find the script in trunk/SCRIPTS/img2video (available since r982).

Requirements

img2stereo requires the Mencoder package (contained in Mplayer).

User instructions for converting a single pair of images

1. Run img2stereo as follows:img2stereo #1 #2, where #1 and #2 are the images for the left and right eye, respectively.
   
   Example: img2stereo /home/username/stereo/lefteye.png /home/username/stereo/righteye.png
   
   You will find the stereo image in the same directory as the left/right eye images are located.

User instructions for converting a series of images

1. Prepare two folders with your input files.
   e.g. “/home/username/stereo/left” containing the files “image_left_0000.png” to “image_left_3999.png” and “/home/username/stereo/right/” containing the files “image_right_0000.png” to “image_right_3999.png”. Make sure that both folders contain the same amount of images.
   
   
2. Run img2stereo with at least the -n and -l and -r parameters,
   Example: img2stereo -l /home/username/stereo/left -r /home/username/stereo/right -n image
   The stereo images will be placed in a directory called stereo in the parent directory of the left/right eye images.

Other parameters

You can switch on conversion into grayscale, which is highly recommended for anaglyph images by using the option -g.
