APOD: Apollo 12 and Surveyor 3 Stereo View (2009 May 23)
Posted: Sat May 23, 2009 5:01 am
Hi,
For those of you who are like me and prefer cross-eyed viewing of stereo images, I thought I'd mention that I was able to take today's (May 23, 2009) image, paste it into two image editor windows, eliminate Green and Blue in one window and Red and Green in the other. I then converted each to greyscale and did a contrast enhancement. Then, placing them side-by-side, I was able to get a nice greyscale stereo view of the scene. I used the IrfanView imaging software for this little experiment.
I have never tried to decompose a red/blue stereo image before but it turned out to be easy for this particular image, at least. I thought others might be interested in the steps I used to create the greyscale side-by-side stereo pair.
Sorry, just realized there is a way to attach images. Hopefully the (attached) result will be viewable now. If you cannot see the entire image at once in your browser, try right-clicking and copy/paste it into another application such as an image viewing program.
best,
