Ghosting Reduction and Estimation in Anaglyph Stereoscopic Images

In this paper are presented the developed algorithms and program system implementation for stereoscopic anaglyph deghosting based on parallax and color adjustment. The stereoscopic technique based on color separation of the images, intended for the left and the right eye respectively, by means of Red and Cyan color filters (anaglyph glasses) is used. Methods and algorithms for estimation and reduction of ghosting effect associated with anaglyph stereo images as well as an approach to measure and analyze this effect are suggested. The program results of the developed ghosting reduction algorithm with intensity transformation of Red and Green channels are compared to the PS basic processing method of anaglyphs. The achieved results can be used for stereoscopic imaging suitable for the printed media, Internet 3D application, art presentation and visualization on all currently widespread screens.
