Re: Aeolian Features

Sorry, Wayne, From your anaglyph I get no more sense of depth in the clouds than I do from your original image. When size matched and superimposed, then registration of any one cloud detail results in registration of every other cloud detail. (see superimposition below).The faint ghosting in the cloud in your anaglyph is the result of mismatched size > artificial spatial disparity rather than any hint of evidence of actual spatial disparity due to horizontal parallax of binocular imagery. You did a super job exposing to capture the maximum tonal spectrum of the clouds, but that’s just a monocular cue to illusory depth provided by any good 2D image.

Also below are are two different monocular depth cue 3D conversions - produced by two different transformation algorithms - both of which provide excellent discernible depths in cloud detail perceptible by appropriate viewing by any adult with normal vision.

One has proportionately more horizontal detail disparities than the other (which has a higher proportion of vertical disparities). Thus,  I expect that you, particularly,  will find one easier to view than the other. Individuals with normal foveational range (with independent control of eye movements in both x and y axes - normally attained by late adolescence) have no problems comfortably merging such monocular cue 3D conversions. There obviously are some so able in this forum, as well as some who just as obviously aren’t.

Best regards,

Dave
