Abstract
The HDTV camera was put aboard the space shuttle Discovery that went into orbit and short realistic scenes of the earth. We produced 3-D images from those 2-D pictures, as part of the attempt to explore of the possibility of 3-D program representation. A pair of stereoscopic images were created from the same continual sequence of the earth's moving pictures. Resulting stereoscopic HDTV provides extremely realistic stereoscopic earth images by fully taking advantage of the high picture quality of HDTV.
