Abstract
A method in digital stereo camera for creating anaglyphs of a given subject with a pre-set stereoscopic distance (Sd). The camera has a pre-set distance (D) between and an scene plane and a lens plane defined by pair of first and second lenses aligned along a plane. The camera includes a pre-set distance (p) between the lens plane and an image plane. The pair of lenses is coupled to a pair of imagers. The method comprising the steps of: producing a pair of stereo images each having three color channels; cropping each of the pair of images by an amount (b), where b=Sd*(p/D); and combining one color channel from one of the pair of stereo images with two color channels from a second of the pair of stereo images, so that the resulting image comprises three orthogonal color channels. In another embodiment, a digital stereoscopic camera and a computer readable medium for carrying out the above method is described.
