Abstract:
A digital stereo camera for creating anaglyphs of a given subject with a pre-set stereoscopic distance (Sd); a pre-set distance (D) between an scene plane and a lens plane defined by pair of first and second lenses aligned on along a plane; and a pre-set distance (p) between the lens plane and an image plane of the camera, the digital camera comprising:a first lens of a lens pair coupled with a first imager for receiving a first image of a subject, the first imager producing a digital three color channel representation of the first image received; a second lens of the lens pair coupled with a second imager for receiving a second image of the subject, the second imager producing a digital three color channel representation of the second image received; an image processing engine for cropping the first and for cropping the second image each an amount (b), where b=Sd*(p/D); and a color interpolator for combining one color channel of the three color channel from the first image with two color channels of the three color channel from the second image, so that the resulting image comprises three orthogonal color channels.
