Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a process for transforming images, in particular photographs into stereoscopic images, as well as to images, visual or audiovisual programs comprising sequences of images obtained by said process, in particular to films on film or magnetic medium as well than video games.
  • an opaque partition arranged in the sagittal plane between the eyepieces and the slides, acts as masking means by preventing the left eye from seeing the image intended for the right eye and vice versa.
  • the spectacles comprising a first polarizing filter having a first polarization disposed in front of the left eye and a second polarizing filter having a second polarization, crossed with the first polarization, disposed in front of the right eye, play the role of the masking means by allowing the simultaneous or alternating vision of different images by the two eyes.
  • the polarizing filters can be replaced by shutters, for example with liquid crystals, placed in front of the eyes, a first shutter being transparent when the second is opaque and vice versa, the shutter cycles being for example substantially equal to one thirtieth of a second .
  • shutters for example with liquid crystals
  • a computer system monitor displays images intended for the left eye interlaced with those intended for the right eye. The observation of such stereoscopic images requires complex and expensive equipment.
  • the masking means may comprise a red filter placed in front of the left eye and a blue filter placed in front of the right eye.
  • the image to be observed includes either a blue image intended for the right eye superimposed on a red image intended for the left eye generating a good effect of depth, or a color image whose subject forming the foreground has on the sides left and right red and blue fringes of large width, generating a moderate depth effect.
  • Such images are of insufficient quality to allow, in the absence of colored glasses, an acceptable observation of flat images (without depth effect).
  • the Applicants have discovered that the observation, in particular for the selection of stereoscopic images, is carried out mainly without glasses.
  • the current system with the exception of relief images covered by a lenticular network, whose technique and high cost price have not enabled wide dissemination, does not allow easy observation of the image without additional equipment , in particular for the selection of images to observe and / or buy.

  • the relative displacement is a horizontal or substantially horizontal translation. In a second example of implementation, the relative displacement is a rotation.
  • the relative movement corresponds to a translation combined with a rotation.
  • the Applicants have discovered that the horizontal relative displacement of the chromatic components with respect to each other can be supplemented and / or replaced by the relative rotation of at least one of the chromatic components with respect to the others.
  • This rotation makes it possible to accentuate the relief effect and / or to reduce any horizontal relative displacement of the chromatic components with respect to each other, so as to minimize the degradation of the image observed during direct observations (without relief effect).
  • the offset is not perceptible to the naked eye while providing, when observed through colored glasses, the perception of relief images.
