Neither wise nor a sage, but: Is there a more general term than "Stereo", which implies 2: left and right?
What about other composite views that make an image appear to have depth/perspective? E.g. Hologram (Holo?) Is there a term that covers the space of all composite views and/or related images? Alternatively, might one pair for other reasons? (Image::Pair::format)? Image::Group::Stereo::format? Image::Container::Stereo::format? Image::Composite::Holo::JPG? Image::Diffraction::XRay::bmp? Image::Resonance::Slice::tiff? Not my field, obviously. But I do wonder if taking a second level namespace for this is the best choice... Of course, no one wants infinitely long names. But maybe there's a happy medium. (Sorry, no pun intended.) I'm not necessarily opposed to "stereo" (nor would it matter if I were), but you asked for feedback, and that's what comes to mind...
