You +may use either white space or an equals sign between an option name +and its value. + + +.UN description +.SH DESCRIPTION +.PP +This program is part of +.BR "Netpbm" (1)\c +\&. +.PP +\fBpamsistoaglyph\fP reads a Netpbm image as input and +produces a Netpbm image as output. +.PP +\fBpamsistoaglyph\fP takes a single-image stereogram +(SIS) such as those produced by +.BR "pamstereogram" (1)\c +\& +and converts it to a red/cyan anaglyphic image such as those produced +by +.BR "ppm3d" (1)\c +\&. +Many people have trouble tricking their eyes into focusing beyond the +image in front of them and are therefore unable to perceive the 3-D +shape hidden within a single-image stereogram. 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 +\fBpamsistoaglyph\fP is to help people who have trouble +viewing single-image stereograms see the intriguing 3-D effect. +.PP +\fBpamsistoaglyph\fP can convert single-image random-dot +stereograms (SIRDS), wallpaper stereograms, and even dual-image +stereograms to anaglyphic images. + + +.UN options +.SH OPTIONS +.PP +In addition to the options common to all programs based on libnetpbm +(most notably \fB-quiet\fP, see +.UR index.html#commonoptions + Common Options +.UE +\&), \fBpamsistoaglyph\fP recognizes the following +command line options: +.PP +For most images, no command-line options need to be specified. The +following options are available, however, for unusual circumstances. + + +.TP +\fB--invert\fP +Swap the left- and right-eye + images. \fBpamsistoaglyph\fP 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 \fB--invert\fP to correct + the image depth. + +.TP +\fB--sep\fP=\fInumber\fP +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 \fB--sep\fP + option should rarely be necessary + as \fBpamsistoaglyph\fP is fairly good at determining + automatically the eye-separation distance. + +.TP +\fB--minsep\fP=\fInumber\fP +This option is similar to \fB--sep\fP but + constrains \fBpamsistoaglyph\fP only to + a \fIminimum\fP eye-separation distance. Any distance larger + than \fInumber\fP is acceptable. The \fB--minsep\fP + option should rarely be necessary + as \fBpamsistoaglyph\fP 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. + +.TP +\fB--gray\fP=\fInumber\fP +Limit the number of gray levels to use when searching for the + optimal eye-separation + distance. Because \fBpamsistoaglyph\fP 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, + \fBpamsistoaglyph\fP 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 \fB--gray\fP option should + rarely be necessary. + + + +.UN notes +.SH NOTES +.PP +The registration algorithm used by \fBpamsistoaglyph\fP +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: + + +.IP \(bu +Convert the image to grayscale to increase the ability to identify + matches. + +.IP \(bu +Count the number of pixels that match \fIN\fP pixels ahead in the + image for all \fIN\fP in [1, \fIwidth\fP/2]. + +.IP \(bu +Maintain a running mean (mu) and standard deviation (sigma) of + the number of matched pixels. + +.IP \(bu +Store the \fIN\fP 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. + +.IP \(bu +If a tally greater than mu+3sigma was encountered, return the + corresponding \fIN\fP. If not, then if a tally greater than + mu+2sigma was encountered, return the + corresponding \fIN\fP. If not, then if a tally greater than + mu+sigma was encountered, return the + corresponding \fIN\fP. If not, then return the \fIN\fP that + produces the minimum average distance between matched pixels + (i.e.,\ \fI#matches\fP divided by \fI#pixels\fP). If no + such \fIN\fP exceeds the minimum allowable eye-separation value, + return zero to indicate failure. + +.IP \(bu +If the algorithm returned zero, rerun the algorithm independently + on each row of the input image and return the median of + all \fIN\fP that exceed the minimum allowable eye-separation + value. If no such \fIN\fP exists, abort with an error + message. + + +.UN history +.SH HISTORY +.PP +Scott Pakin wrote \fBpamsistoaglyph\fP in April 2009.
