According to the Indian Space Research Organzsation (ISRO), an anaglyph image is defined as a simple visualization of the object or terrain in three dimensions from stereo or multi-view images.
The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) on 5 September received a 3-dimensional ‘anaglyph’ image of the Chandrayaan-3 Vikram lander from the south polar region of the lunar surface. ISRO released the images just a day after the ‘Vikram Lander’ was set into sleep mode at around on Monday morning.
"In this 3-channel image, the left image is positioned in the red channel, while the right image is placed in the blue and green channels (creating cyan). The difference in perspective between these two images results in the stereo effect, which gives the visual impression of three dimensions. Red and cyan glasses are recommended for viewing in 3D," ISRO stated.
To ensure viewing best quality three-dimensional image, it is recommended to look at it through Red and cyan glasses, said the space agency adding, NavCam was developed by LEOS/ISRO and data processing is carried out by SAC/ISRO.
As per ISRO, anaglyph is a simple visualization of the object or terrain in three dimensions from stereo or multi-view images.
"The Anaglyph presented here is created using NavCam Stereo Images, which consist of both a left and right image captured onboard the Pragyan Rover," the space agency said on X (formerly Twitter).
