In 2001 Eric Dubois [28] released a paper titled 'A projection method to generate anaglyph stereo images'. [29] This paper described a method of filtering for anaglyph images that retained much of the colour and reduced ghosting and retinal rivalry The algorithm used to create this effect is called the least-squares algorithm.
Stereographic projection as an inversion of a sphere. A stereographic projection usually projects a sphere from a point (north pole) of the sphere onto the tangent plane at the opposite point (south pole). This mapping can be performed by an inversion of the sphere onto its tangent plane.

Stereographic projection is conformal, meaning that it preserves the angles at which curves cross each other (see figures). On the other hand, stereographic projection does not preserve area; in general, the area of a region of the sphere does not equal the area of its projection onto the plane. The area element is given in (X, Y) coordinates by
The stereographic projection, also known as the planisphere projection or the azimuthal conformal projection, is a conformal map projection whose use dates back to antiquity. Like the orthographic projection and gnomonic projection, the stereographic projection is an azimuthal projection, and when on a sphere, also a perspective projection.
