The left and right images were taken about six feet apart using one Lumix GH-2 camera, creating a deep sense of depth in this red/cyan anaglyph 3D image. With the wide stereo base, the 3D effect is visible out to perhaps 1200 feet (400 meters).
I was lucky in that I found a brief moment when there were no cars on the freeway and the train was stopped!
I also discovered some better ways of processing these images in StereoPhoto Maker; this one uses the Dubois algorithm for generating the anaglyph, which seems to improve the contrast and possibly reducing ghosting artifacts.
I do not yet understand the controversy (hope to see The Hobbit in HFR soon). Many TV sports programs are shot in 720p/60 frames per second and I’ve shot video at 60 fps. I’ve also shot video at 24 and 30 fps. Each has its place. And what about high frame rate video games which are now common?
I suspect that 60 fps will become a future standard (sorry 50 fps viewers). The 48 fps is interesting but when will we see 48 fps HDTVs or 48 fps DVDs for the home?
Here’s another interesting – and positive commentary – on the HFR 48 fps 3D version of The Hobbit.
The Panasonic Lumix 3D1 is a compact 3D still and video camera while the Sony TD10 is a larger, traditional styled video camera that shoots 3D video and some stills.
Both are described as 1920×1080 3D video resolution; however, due to the way the video is encoded in each camera, the Lumix 3D1 is shooting at 1920×1080 but encoding in the squeezed 960x1080x2 mode. That is, the left and right images are squeezed down and combined into a squished side-by-side video format (this is the same format that is used by the Youtube 3D support). The Sony TD10 (and it successor the TD20) records dual 1920×1080 video and encodes that as two complete 1920×1080 video streams.
The result is that while the Lumix 3D1 looks quite good for an inexpensive, compact consumer 3D camera, the dual 1920x1080p encoding of the Sony TD10 produces a noticeably sharper image.
To view this and see the difference, you need to select the 1080p viewing option in the Youtube player and display in full screen (on a 1920×1080 sized screen!) Even though Youtube is in 960x1080x2 format, starting with the higher resolution of the TD10 results in a better image quality all the way through.
In each pair of clips in the demo video, the 3D1 comes first, then the TD10.
The following web sites are more than just Flickr – they provide online 3D editing tools. You typically upload two images, a side by side 3D image or an MPO file – and then make alignment and other changes “in the cloud”. Once done, your finished 3D image can be stored in your online photo gallery and viewed in multiple formats, as selected by the viewer – such as side by side cross eyed views or anaglyph.
