 Drawing on photos   Colin Mazengarb   2022年1月27日(木) 12:17     Mail
[Edit]
Hello,

this is a great program and thanks for making it available.

I am wondering if a new function could be added?

I work with historic aerial photos to understand landscape features and map them. Currently I use two applications at once (stereophotomaker and mapping software) and eye-ball transfer the features one from the other. What I would like to do is to draw these features directly in the stereo view onto one of the images as an overlay. Once finished I would export the interpreted image and georeference it in the mapping software. I would be interested in your thoughts if this is possible.

regards
Colin

Hi, thanks for a great program!

I'm having some issues with the Lume Pad 4V conversion tool, using a normal 2d image and a depth map. Some of the pictures I've converted have a row of blank / white pixels at the top of the picture. Sometimes the entire row is blank, sometimes only partially. I've been using it in portrait mode if that makes a difference.

StereoPhoto Maker is amazing. I don't know what I would do without it.

I'm having difficulty generating a depth map for Looking Glass. I've downloaded and installed dmag5 and dmag9, and when I try to "Create Depth Map from Stereo Pair" and then locate the director for dmag, I get an Error "Can't find dmag*.exe".

Can you kindly tell me if this is a bug, or if I am doing something wrong?
Thanks.

What you need is not DMAG5 and DMAG9, but DMAG5 and DMAG9b.
DMAG9 and DMAG9b are completely different programs.

Download the compressed file containing the necessary DMAGs from here, and unzip it for use.

 3D Vision SPM not work   alexunderboots   2022年1月7日(金) 23:23    HP Mail
[Edit]
Good day. Help solve the problem:
I am using nvidia 3D Vision glasses and a 3D ready display. When I turn on "flip" mode in SPM - application goes to full screen version, glasses are turned on, but image remains in SBS mode ((((
Stereoscopic player and sview have no such problems and the image in the glasses is shown in 3D

SPM 616, Win10.19H1, Nvidia 425.31 quadro K600
"Stereo View Method" - Page-Flip
Page Flip Setup - 3D Vision

Solution from https://discord.gg/R7cmuWu8wP (3DJ):
"someone suggested adding SPM's exe into the Stereoscopic Player profile in NVIDIA inspector and that fixed it, just tested it"
And its work for me

The following is a post from May 18, 2020.

---------------------------------------------------------

I'm fighting against 3DVision.

Sort it out.
My operating environment
1.Windows10 1809
2.GeForce GT710
3.nVidia driver 388.13
4.nVidia 3D Vison
5. StereoPhoto Maker 32bit Ver5.22
6. StereoPhoto Maker 64bit Ver5.22 beta02
The 3DVision all worked fine.
(We need to press Ctrl+Alt+Insert only the first time we launch SPM and view it in 3DVision mode.)

Updated to Windows 10 1903.
SPM 32bit and 64bit no longer work.
Many times, even after pressing Ctrl+Alt+Insert, I got 'This application is not rated by NVIDIA corp' and a side-by-side image.

I clean installed the nVidia display driver Windows 10 64-bit 391.35 that I downloaded from the following site.
https://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/4781/~/support-plan-for-3dvision-products

Both SPM 32bit and 64bit are now able to work with 3DVision.
(We need to press Ctrl+Alt+Insert only the first time we launch SPM and view it in 3DVision mode.)

Windows 10 64-bit DCH 425.31 could not be installed with an error.

The developers of "fix_manager" do not recommend using the DCH version of the drivers, try the standard

I downloaded SPM_Mac and unzipped it, but on doubling-clicking (or opening in the File menu) the SPM icon I got the error message "SPM-Mac is damaged and Can't be opened. You should move it to the trash". I tried downloading twice more, but get the same error. (around 14:00 GMT on Monday 27th Dec)

Any ideas on the problem?

I am using an M1 iMac, MacOS 12.0.1 (Monterey).

The Mac's Gatekeeper feature blocks the execution of downloaded apps.
You can remove the download attribute of the file and it will be able to run. For detailed instructions, please see the download page.
https://stereo.jpn.org/eng/stphmkr/mac/index.html
Also, i have upgraded the version, so please use the new version.

    Chris Dainty   2021年12月30日(木) 21:05     Mail [Edit]
Thanks Masuji. I used the command line instruction you gave on the re-downloaded latest version. There were several "error" messages but when I double-clicked SPM_Mac it opened fine, and it seems to work fine. I've only opened a few images and aligned them; if I find any problems, I'll let you know.

Thank you very much for fixing this so quickly. This is a great program, and at the moment I have been using an older version compiled under Crossover (a commercial version of Wine I think).

 Automated Videos for LKG Drops   Jared Bienz   2021年12月20日(月) 2:23    HP Mail
[Edit]
Hey there Masuji, thank you for such a wonderful program. I see that you too enjoy Looking Glass Portrait. I'm sure you've probably downloaded hologram drops like the ones here:

https://lookingglassfactory.com/holograms/fractals

Have you noticed the videos of the portrait being turned back and forth? This gives you an idea of what the hologram will look like when put on your display. But these videos take a lot of time to create. One of the people from Looking Glass has to deploy each hologram and then take a video of them panning the Portrait back and forth.

I'm about to start releasing my own hologram drops and I would like to make this process easier for myself and for the Looking Glass employees. I think StereoPhoto Maker can help and I'd like to request a feature.

The feature would basically combine multiple features that SPM already supports into one. The automation would be:

1. Select a folder with a bunch of SBS Color + Depth images.
2. Load each SBS Color + Depth image.
3. Do Edit -> Depth map -> Create multiple images from 2D + depth map.
4. Enable Round trip, Depth map and intelligent F/R position
5. Generate image sequence
6. Convert image sequence to webm video (allow user to specify resolution)
7. Repeat steps 2 through 6 for each SBS image in the folder.

Webm (vp9) is very important because it's like a high-quality animated gif with full color and very small file size. FFMPEG does support this format, it's just not currently an option presented in SPM.

It would also be nice to have a new HTML generator for this under the Web menu. Something like Web -> Make HTML 5 wiggle previews.

What do you think? Would any of this be possible?

    Jared Bienz   2021年12月20日(月) 2:52    HP Mail [Edit]
Actually, it looks like the Looking Glass website uses webp and not webm for the images. But FFMPEG supports this format too. For example:

ffmpeg -i wig.mp4 -c libwebp -loop 0 wig3.webp

The -loop 0 part is important, so it creates a looping image.

>you've probably downloaded hologram drops like the ones here:
I'm sorry, I've never seen this before.

>Have you noticed the videos of the portrait being turned back and forth?
No, I don't understand what you're talking about.

Unfortunately, I don't understand what you want to do. Can you show me a sample (webp) of the video you want to make?

 StereoAutoAlign for Mac   Bill Costa   2021年11月26日(金) 0:15     Mail
[Edit]
I was very excited to discover the command-line batch alignment program, and even more excited to see that there is a Universal-2 (M1/Intel) macOS version! Unfortunately I ran into a problem right out of the gate. See below for the diagnostics. I'm currently running macOS High Sierra v10.13.6 on an Intel Mac. Thanks!

Usage : StereoAutoAlign [Left image file path] [Right image file path] [Magic Number]
Magic Number -> 0
Left -> ./l.jpg
Right -> ./r.jpg

I don't have High Sierra, so I can't check, but it seems to be a problem with the OS version.
I will try to find a fix.

    Masuji Suto   2021年11月28日(日) 15:07    HP [Edit]
A version compiled with OSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET set to 10.13 has been released for Hight SIerra, please check it.
https://stereo.jpn.org/stereoautoalign/index_mace.html

However, when compiling with 10.13, it seems that parallel processing is no longer possible, and it becomes much slower than the normal version.

    Bill Costa   2021年11月30日(火) 21:54     Mail [Edit]
Happy to report that High Sierra version works! It may not be as speedy as the parallel processing version, but it still feels pretty quick to me. Thanks!

 SPM on M1 Mac (OS 12 Monterey)?   Chris Dainty   2021年11月26日(金) 18:29     Mail
[Edit]
I have a Mac and currently run SPM Pro 6.02 under CrossOver (20.0.4). It's brilliant, thanks ever so much for this software!

But recently there was a posting on photo-3D.groups.io that said:

"I just recently discovered that starting with StereoPhoto Maker (SPM)
v6.17 there is now a standalone command line utility for automatically
aligning a L/R image pair. There is both a Windows and Mac version,
and JPEG, PNG, and TIFF file formats are supported."

Is this true? I cannot find anything on the website that says there is an M1 Mac version of SPM. I'm happy as I am, although reluctant to upgrade to a later version under CrossOver as it took a lot of effort and eventually CodeWeavers did it for me.

    Masuji Suto   2021年11月27日(土) 17:47    HP [Edit]
It's not the Mac version of SPM, it's a console app called StereoAutoAlign.
https://stereo.jpn.org/stereoautoalign/indexe.html

If you are using SPM with CrossOver, I don't think you need to dare to use it.
