Chromo-stereoscopy for Enhanced Viewing in Opaque Environment

Varying depth perception resulting from using different colours is a phenomenon known as Chromo-stereoscopy (CS), in which objects equidistant from the viewer appear at different distances. This phenomenon has been deployed as a 3D visualising technique in different scientific presentations, such as remote sensing, and solar physics. In hydrography CS has been applied to static images of bathymetry, where the depth value was colour coded such that red was assigned to shoals, while the deepest values were coloured blue. Further applications of CS investigated its suitability when applied obliquely along the line of sight to perceive the distance separation between objects and varying view points. Both applications used static images which can be useful for visualising post processed data.
