I have a 3 minute section of stereoscopic home video which was shot with 2 video cameras a number of years ago. Having asked round the family, I have finally managed to get hold of both left and right videos. Trouble is, the left video is crisp and vibrant, the right video is pretty poor, it looks as though it is a copy of a copy of a copy - you know the type. Anyway, I was wondering if anyone knew of any software or filters that would enable me to re-construct the right video using the information from the left video rather than using standard virtualdub filters in an attempt to "touch up" the re-re-copied video? I would appreciate any advice/assistance. |

You could do that, with "sharpening" filters (they increase edge contrast), using an app such as the freeware VirtualDub. However, one of the interesting features of stereoscopic perception is the effect of the eyes ignoring a loss of resolution in one eye as long as there is resolution in the other eye (and not too much disparity), so you may be able to leave as-is. The brain compensates (fills in the blanks). Try it out, it might be acceptable... Scott |

Thanks for that Scott. I have already tried interlacing the two together, but the right eye view is degraded to such an extent that it is quite noticable. I have tried using VirtualDub's built-in filters, plus some custom ones, but with very little success. I was hoping someone knew of a filter/software that could take the colour/contrast info from the left view and apply it to the appropriate place in the right view. |
