Abstract: To generate a full-color left view, a the cyan(left) component of the anaglyph is added with its red component after being laterally shifted to the left, and, symmetrically, to generate a full-color right view, the red(right) component of the anaglyph is added with its cyan component after being laterally shifted to the right. According to the invention, the shift to the left of the red(right) component is obtained by adding the “details” of the cyan(left) component to a blurred red(right) component, and vice-versa. The “details” of the cyan(left) component is preferably calculated by subtracting a blurred cyan(left) component from the cyan(left) component itself.
