Autostereoscopy is a method for effective visualization of three-dimensional models with the help of ordinary imaging techniques. It allows achieving the 3D object observation without the need for special goggles, displays or other equipment. The Method itself is using rapidly alternating images of given object taken from defined angles, mimicking the position of the human eyes. Such animation induces a sense of depth. Autostereoscopy can be applied to a static image or even dynamic video materials. Firstly, we ha...

In this contribution, the authors describe a novel method of visualizing any 3D object into a 2D seamless picture with the use of cartographical principles. The method uses properties of a sphere with reflective inner surface, in which a 3D object and capturing camera are placed. A sphere surface is consequently unfolded using cartographic projection allowing to see the whole object in 2D. The method can be applied to any objects, preferably those of non-human origin, e.g. trees with leaves, cave systems, EarthпїЅ...
