Magiceye

Read the grayscale values of the depth map. Translate the brightness of each pixel into a physical pixel shift (disparity).

Create a blank image canvas of your desired output resolution. Select a repeating tileable pattern or generate a field of random color noise. This will serve as the default visual texture. Step 2: Map the Depth Disparity MAGICEYE

Dvirtual=D⋅IpdIpd−wcap D sub v i r t u a l end-sub equals the fraction with numerator cap D center dot cap I sub p d end-sub and denominator cap I sub p d end-sub minus w end-fraction Ipdcap I sub p d end-sub

across the image, pixel by pixel, a smooth gradient of virtual depth is rendered. 4. Algorithmic Steps to Create an Autostereogram
