Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for making stereograms and to stereograms so produced.
  • Stereograms are designs or illustrations which initially appear to be two dimensional, but, upon appropriate inspection, give the illusion of having three dimensional shapes and forms embedded within.
  • the stereograms produced by the present invention can be viewed without using lenses or other aids.
  • Stereograms are produced from two elements: color information and depth information.
  • the color information is used to create the two dimensional bash art in which the three dimensional image is embedded.
  • the depth information is used to determine the amount by which the embedded images are raised and/or lowered in the three dimensional effect.
  • the present invention relates to a procedure by which color information inputted for the creation of a stereogram can be aligned with the depth information inputted for the embedded three dimensional image in the stereogram.
  • the three dimensional shape embedded within the stereogram appears in realistic color.
  • Such color can be made to align with the full embedded three dimensional image (within certain limitations discussed below) , or with a portion of the embedded three dimensional image.
  • stereograms are designs or illustrations which are formed on a two dimensional surface in black and white or in color.
  • the underlying pattern of the stereogram, prior to .reating raised or lowered images, is referred to as the base art of the stereogram.
  • the base art of the stereogram consists of a series of adjoining, repeating vertical bands. Each band has the same width (in the horizontal direction) , and preferably the same height (in the vertical direction).
  • a stereogram gives the illusion of depth by providing two slightly offset images.
  • the left eye focuses on one such image and the right eye focuses on the other image, the result is an apparent difference in the relative depth of the two images.
  • the offset or shift in position between the two images results from shifting a portion of the base art along a horizontal line as explained above. This shift can also be viewed as an increase or decrease in the repetition width of the base art.
  • the direction of the shift is not important as long as the shift is along a horizontal line parallel to the line between the view' s eyes. However, consistency in direction along the horizontal line must be maintained in subsequent shifts within the same region of the stereogram.
  • the convention used in the context of the present invention is that a shift to the left corresponds to a rise in the height of the shifted image.
  • the present invention offers an alternative method for filling gaps in specific areas of a stereogram which allows for the precise positioning of color information used to fill the a gap with the color information of the base art of the stereogram. This method of filling gaps is highly desirable because it eliminates the appearance of seams in the final image.
  • a black and white or colored random pattern of picture elements forms the base art.
  • the pattern used in the base art of these random dot stereograms has no particular alignment or relation to the three dimensional image encoded in the stereogram.
  • the coloration of the embedded three dimensional image is not realistic.
  • realistic color as applied in the context of the present invention means that each recognizable element of the embedded three dimensional image has a specific, non- random color assigned by the artist creating the stereogram.
  • a model is photographed from a sequence of angles, each successive angle being incremented by a certain amount (along a horizontal line, for example) .
  • a photographic 3-D stereogram can be created.
  • this method does not involve a precise analytic method which manipulates three dimensional depth information it is difficult to precisely align such a 3-D image as part of a larger 3-D stereogram image.
  • Such an alignment is desirable since the width of such a photographically created image is limited to one repeat width, while a stereogram image can be more then one repeat width.
  • Another disadvantage of the photographic method is that it requires the availability of a full color model. The present invention overcomes these difficulties.
  • two or more different series of objects are arranged on a two dimensional surface at differently spaced intervals to create the illusion of a three dimensional image in realistic color.
  • a method is limited in its application to simple objects and could not be used to create a stereogram with complex depth contours (such as the head of an animal) .
  • the present invention overcomes such difficulties.
  • the present invention involves a procedure to produce a stereogram in which an embedded three dimensional image can be perfectly aligned with a colored picture, without the need for a colored 3-D model. Furthermore, such an alignment can be easily created on only a portion of the 3-D image (for example, the head of an animal) allowing the full 3-D image (i.e. head and body for example) to be wider then one repeat width. The result can be a aesthetically pleasing stereogram.
  • One object of the present invention is to provide a method for creating stereograms in which color information used for the creation of the stereogram can be precisely aligned with depth information used for the stereogram so that the three dimensional image embedded within the stereogram appears in realistic color.
  • a further object of the invention is to provide a computer implemented method for creating stereograms in which color information inputted for the creation of the stereogram can be precisely aligned with depth information inputted for the stereogram so that the three dimensional image embedded within the stereogram appears in realistic color.
  • a further object of the invention is to provide both a method and a computer implemented method for creating stereograms in which color information inputted for the creation of the stereogram can be precisely aligned with depth information inputted for the stereogram so that only a portion the three dimensional image embedded within the stereogram appears in realistic color allowing the full embedded three dimensional image to be larger than one repeat width.
  • the method embodies using a field of color information and a field of depth information to produce a parent strip of continuous tone art work.
  • This parent strip is then used to form a stereogram base of adjacent, repeating vertical bands.
  • depth information is then assigned to the picture elements in the stereogram base.
  • This method produces a stereogram in which the color information can be precisely aligned with the depth information inputted for the embedded three dimensional image in the stereogram.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé de réalisation de stéréogrammes ainsi que les stéréogrammes ainsi produits. Les stéréogrammes sont des motifs ou des illustrations qui se présentent initialement sous forme bidimensionnelle mais qui, lorsque l'inspection appropriée est utilisée, donnent l'illusion de contenir des formes et motifs tridimensionnels. Les stéréogrammes produits selon l'invention peuvent être vus sans qu'il soit nécessaire d'utiliser des lentilles ou tout autre appareil. Il sont obtenus à partir de deux éléments: des informations-couleur et des informations-profondeur. Les informations-couleur sont utilisées pour créer l'effet bidimensionnel dans lequel l'image tridimensionnelle est intégrée. Les informations-profondeur sont utilisées pour déterminer le volume du relief des images intégrées dans l'effet tridimensionnel. L'invention porte sur une procédure qui permet d'aligner les informations-couleur entrées pour la création d'un stéréogramme avec les informations de profondeur entrées pour l'image tridimensionnelle dans le stéréogramme. Ainsi, le motif tridimensionnel intégré dans le stéréogramme apparaît dans une couleur réelle. Cette couleur peut être conçue pour être alignée avec l'image tridimensionnelle intégrée complète (dans les limites susmentionnées) ou avec une partie de cette dernière.
