Stereogrammer

When it comes to working with images on your computer, the Internet offers a whole array of applications that could help you with just that. One of them is Stereogrammer.

It's a neat and small software solution that helps you generate various autostereograms from depth maps and textures. You can adjust all sort of parameters for your files.

The application installs quickly and it sports a really intuitive and clean graphical interface with multiple tools that you can check out. It doesn't have any customization options, but you wouldn't really need them since the UI is quite intuitive.

You can use the application even if you're not familiar with the concept of stereograms, detailed information about these images can be found on the developer's website.

Stereograms are 2-dimensional images with some elements that can fool the bran into perceiving depth. The illusion of depth is created by combining certain elements, like texture gradients, linear perspective, motion parallax and perspectives.

Autostereograms are also known as Single Image Stereograms (SIS) or, under certain conditions, Single Image Random Dot Stereograms (SIRDS).

The application takes 2 images, a depth map and a texture, to generate a third image which is an autostereogram. The image appears to be a 3-dimensional representation of the depth map combined with the texture.

It comes with the option to adjust the field depth separation of resulted images and you can enable application of hidden surface removal or oversampling in order to generate high quality images.

You can also add convergence assistance dots to the generation process and it comes with the option to adjust the resolution of output images. You can use all sort of images as textures and the application comes with the option to preview stereograms easily.

Stereogrammer is a very useful application for generating autostereogram images using depth maps and textures.
