Hi all,
I succed creating stunning aerial 3D stereoscopic pictures using Tello aircraft.
The kind of 3D picture created is called anaglyph. You will need typical red/blue glasses for full enjoy deep effect. Glasses I'm using are a cheap cardboard ones.
All you need is shooting TWO photos. Take first photo, then slightly side move Tello and take second photo. I advice you to NOT MOVING TOO MUCH between shoots. I only give a little push to the roll stick. In fact, a few centimeters will be enought to get 3D effect for close objects. Too much lateral displacement will ruin 3D effect for close objects but will increase the effect for distant objects, as if we look through the eyes of a giant creature.
I advise you use TelloFPV for taking images. Their photo algorithm is great. Photo download can be fully controlled. It can be even cancelled if something goes wrong.
Once you get both images you will have to process them with a graphic editing program, like Adobe Photosop. I followed this web tutorial: Making Anaglyph Images in Adobe Photoshop
I wear 3D glasses for final adjustment. I need to move layers, select and crop the part of image where 3d effect is more noticeable.
I'm glad to share with you my first attempt for creating a Tello anaglyph from 30 meters height. Get some 3d glasses and give it a chance. I advise you eyes will take a while to get used to deep efect. I love the way distant buildings can be seen at the very right of image. Enjoy !
