mpoview 0.3 (Fuji 3D cam viewer) mpo and jpeg support
Posted: Sun 29 Jul 2012, 22:54
This program allows to view "MPO" files as well as stereoscopic JPGs on monitors that suport 3D, e.g. LG monitors with polarized glasses.
Supported JPG are two seperate files of full size (must have ".v1." and ".v2." in the filename), and single JPGs with half-size side by side pictures. Those are created by 3dpic for example:

The Fuji Finepix 3D camera creates stereoscopic 3D fotos saved as MPO.
Description at amazon
They are saved as ".MPO" files, which are basically 2 jpegs merged after each other.
They could be extracted with "mposplit" from http://cstein.kings.cam.ac.uk/~chris/mposplit/
You then could use my converter "3dpic" to create a side by side jpeg of those two single jpegs.
You then could watch them in 3D with a standard 2D picture viewer on a 3D-monitor.
So why an own utility like mpoview?
1.) it automates the above steps (it uses mposplit itself, a binary is included in the pet).
2.) It uses an own window to display the resulting side-by-side image, allowing manipulations.
You have a "parallax control" on the X-axis as well on the Y-axis.
So if your fotos have "ghosting" as they are not well aligned (this even happens with an expensive solution like the finepix), you now may correct the view on the monitor.
The Finepix also has an inbuilt parallax control, and allows to save the corrected view.
mpoview has an additional Y control, and it is easier to adjust the view on a huge monitor than on the small inbuilt display of the camera.
I wrote the viewer in Genie, and compiled it in fluppy 013.
If the binary will not work, you had to install vala and compile it like this:
- To run the viewer from console, use something like
- You also can drag /usr/local/bin/mpoview on your Rox-Desktop, and then drop a mpo file from the filer on it to watch it.
- Or right-click a mpo in Rox-Filer, and set the "run-action" to mpoview "$1"
Rox-Filer shows MPOs as thumbnails, so you can use a filerwindow to preview the images and view them with a doubleclick.
On the top of the viewer there is a buttonbar (twice, so it looks correct in the 3D-mode of monitors). It has buttons to save, for Parallax-control and to exit.
Updates:
V002: If you click on an image, the next one in that directory is loaded. With a rightclick, the previous one.
V003: If you click on "save", the modified image will be saved in /root/mpoview/save. (or c:\users\yourname\mpoview\save\ on Windows.
You will have a left (v1), a right(v2) and a combined left/right halfsize(v4) .jpg there
Windows Version:
Added a standalone Windows Version 003 (compiled in Wine, not tested on other systems):
http://dotpups.de/puppy4/dotpups/Progra ... iew-03.exe
It runs in wine like this:
or:
Wine is set to run as WinXP, so it should work fine on "real" 32 bit XP systems, too.
