Create an epipolar stereo pair

Create an epipolar stereo pair from two aerial photographs with overlap. You can view the resulting stereo pair with a stereoscope in a stereoscope window, or as an anaglyph in a map window.

This dialog box appears when creating a new stereo pair:

from the Operations menu of the Main window, choose Image Processing, Epipolar Stereo Pair, or
in the Operation-list, double-click the Epipolar Stereo Pair item, or
in the Operation-tree, expand the Image Processing item and double-click the Epipolar Stereo Pair item, or
from the File menu in an existing Epipolar Stereo Pair - Creation window, choose the New Stereo Pair command, or
click the New Stereo Pair button in the toolbar of the Epipolar Stereo Pair - Creation window.

Dialog box options:

Left image:	Select the raster map (e.g. a scanned aerial photograph) that is positioned on the left-hand side.
Right image:	Select the raster map (e.g. a scanned aerial photograph) that is positioned on the right-hand side.
Output stereo pair:	Type a new name for the stereo pair. The (resampled) output raster maps of the stereo pair will also obtain this name followed by _Left or _Right.
Description:	Type a description for the output stereo pair. The description of a stereo pair is visible on the status bar of the Main window when moving the mouse pointer over the map in the Catalog.

Tips:

You should have two scanned images (for instance two aerial photographs with fiducial marks) that have overlap.
When you wish to view the stereo pair later on with a stereoscope, you can use input raster maps with the Color domain, the Image domain, or another value domain.
When you wish to view the stereo pair as an anaglyph later on, you can only use raster maps with the Image domain, or with a value domain.

The two input raster maps will be displayed in the Epipolar Stereo Pair - Creation window. You can mark the positions of the fiducial marks, the principal points, the transferred principal points, and optional scaling points.
