Pocket stereoscope with original test image. Used by military to examine stereoscopic pairs of aerial photographs. Difference in projections of a vertical line in stereoscopy according to distance between left and right eye - animation for eye distance View of Boston, c. 1860; an early stereoscopic card for viewing a scene from nature Stereoscopic image of 787 Orange Street, Addison R. Tinsley ...
A stereo transparency viewer is a type of stereoscope that offers similar advantages, e.g. the View-Master. Disadvantages of stereo cards, slides or any other hard copy or print are that the two images are likely to receive differing wear, scratches and other decay. This results in stereo artifacts when the images are viewed.
Low altitude aerial photograph for use in photogrammetry. Location: Three Arch Bay, Laguna Beach, California. Photogrammetry is the science and technology of obtaining reliable information about physical objects and the environment through the process of recording, measuring and interpreting photographic images and patterns of electromagnetic radiant imagery and other phenomena.
With the introduction of computers, the analytical stereoplotter became a popular machine of choice for photogrammetry in the late 1960s to 1970s. A stereoplotter is an instrument that uses stereo photographs to determine elevations for the purpose of creating contours on topographic maps. Computers brought the capability to execute more ...
Since then, people have begun to understand the concept of stereo view. Wheatstone's invention was impractical until Sir David Brewster, a Scottish physicist and experimenter of optics, discovered that a 3D effect could be observed in repeated patterns with small difference in 1844. Brewster used what he discovered in building the stereo camera.
Wiggle stereoscopy offers the advantages that no glasses or special hardware is required; most people can perceive the effect more quickly than when using cross-eyed and parallel viewing techniques. Furthermore, it offers stereo-like depth to people with limited or no vision in one eye.
Stereoautograph Wild A5. The stereoautograph is a complex opto-mechanical measurement instrument for the evaluation of analog or digital photograms.It is based on the stereoscopy effect by using two aero photos or two photograms of the topography or of buildings from different standpoints.
In photogrammetry and computer stereo vision, bundle adjustment is simultaneous refining of the 3D coordinates describing the scene geometry, the parameters of the relative motion, and the optical characteristics of the camera(s) employed to acquire the images, given a set of images depicting a number of 3D points from different viewpoints.
