3D Anaglyph Python Code

If you have two cameras plugged in and everything installed and supported then this code might work to provide a 3D Red/Cyan video stream.

The extensive comments and documentation are provided as part of outsourcing the development of this code.

from opencv import cv
from opencv import highgui
from time import sleep

def makeMagic(left, right, out):
  chans=[]
  for i in range(6):
    chans.append(cv.cvCreateImage(cv.cvGetSize(left),8,1))
  cv.cvSplit(left, chans[0], chans[1], chans[2], None);
  cv.cvSplit(right, chans[3], chans[4], chans[5], None);
  cv.cvMerge(chans[3],chans[4],chans[2], None, out);

  #cv.cvMerge(None,chans[1],None, None, out);

cam=[]
def main():
  cam.append(highgui.cvCreateCameraCapture(0))
  cam.append(highgui.cvCreateCameraCapture(1))
  highgui.cvNamedWindow ("carrots", highgui.CV_WINDOW_AUTOSIZE)
  uno=highgui.cvQueryFrame(cam[0]);
  dos=highgui.cvQueryFrame(cam[1]);
  highgui.cvShowImage("carrots",uno);
  highgui.cvWaitKey(0);
  highgui.cvShowImage("carrots",dos);
  highgui.cvWaitKey(0);
  merge=cv.cvCreateImage(cv.cvGetSize(uno),8,3)
  makeMagic(uno, dos, merge)
  highgui.cvShowImage("carrots",merge);
  highgui.cvWaitKey(0);
  while True :
    uno=highgui.cvQueryFrame(cam[0]);
    dos=highgui.cvQueryFrame(cam[1]);
    makeMagic(uno, dos, merge);
    highgui.cvShowImage("carrots",merge);
    if highgui.cvWaitKey(1)=="s":
      cam.append(cam.pop(0))
    print "tick"

if __name__=="__main__":
  main()

I broke the wires on one of the cameras so there is no video today.
