73 results about "Autostereogram" patented technology

An autostereogram is a single-image stereogram (SIS), designed to create the visual illusion of a three-dimensional (3D) scene from a two-dimensional image. In order to perceive 3D shapes in these autostereograms, one must overcome the normally automatic coordination between accommodation (focus) and horizontal vergence (angle of one's eyes). The illusion is one of depth perception and involves stereopsis: depth perception arising from the different perspective each eye has of a three-dimensional scene, called binocular parallax.

Autostereoscopic image acquisition method and system

The invention relates to a method of acquiring simulated autostereoscopic video images of a scene to be viewed. On the basis of stored data containing three-dimensional information, it implements n simulated cameras, with n>=3, each generating an image of a scene on a given optical axis. The optical axes of the simulated cameras converge at a point situated at the same distance D from the simulated cameras. The scene to be viewed has a nearest point Pp and a farthest point Pe, and the inter-camera distance and the distance Dmin between the simulated cameras and the nearest point Pp are selected in such a manner that for focus varying between the nearest point Pp and the farthest point Pe the angle 2alpha between two adjacent simulated cameras varies between a value not greater than 4.5° for the point Pp and a value not less than 0.2° for the point Pe.

Method for displaying multiple-view stereoscopic images

A method for displaying multiple-view auto-stereoscopic images without using stereoscopic glasses is disclosed in the invention. The multiple-view stereoscopic images are directly sent to the stereoscopic image synthesizer (or a software simulated by computer), and after the synthesizer has been informed about the view number and the horizontal and vertical display resolutions of the screen, the stereoscopic image synthesizing processing can be performed. Finally, the synthesized result will be displayed on the flat panel display. With the laminated lenticular lens vertically slanted at an angle of about 9.4623 degrees the viewer can watch the stereoscopic images on the display without wearing stereoscopic glasses.

Method for auto-stereoscopic image display with a wavelength filter array

The invention relates to a method of spatial visualization of a scene or an object, in which several views of the scene or object are decomposed into bits of partial information, which are made optically visible by image rendering elements, and in which neighbored image rendering elements emit light of different wavelengths or wavelength ranges, and in which propagation directions for the light are given by means of wavelength filters in such a way that an observer will see predominantly bits of partial information of a first selection of views with one eye and predominantly bits of partial information of a second selection with the other eye. The invention is intended to improve the quality of spatial visualization. In such a method, at least one image rendering element is simultaneously allocated bits of partial information from at least two different views, the allocation being made in such a way that the wavelength of the partial information is always equal to the wavelength, or lies in the wavelength range, of the light emitted by the allocated image rendering element.

Display device

A one-pixel structure of a display panel included in an auto-stereoscopic image display device adopts an in-plane switching mode. Transparent counter electrodes that are not provided in a liquid crystal panel of a normal in-plane switching mode are formed correspondingly to pixel peripheral regions on a second transparent substrate side and, in 3-dimensional image display, a vertical electric field is forcibly generated between the transparent counter electrodes and the comb-shaped electrodes, which causes the liquid crystal molecules to rise to show black display in the pixel peripheral regions. In 2-dimensional image display, meanwhile, the transparent counter electrodes are set to be floating, and the display panel is caused to have a structure substantially equivalent to a structure in which the transparent counter electrodes are not provided, to thereby make the display in pixel peripheral regions identical to the display (brightness) in a pixel main region.

Moiré-based auto-stereoscopic watermarks

Provided herein are teachings directed to the creation of moiré-based auto-stereoscopic watermarks in rendered images. By choosing different halftone structures, which differ by having different spatial frequencies for each of two delineated partitions in an image, it becomes possible to embed arbitrary binary patterns into printed documents as digital watermarks. The invisible watermarks become moiré auto-stereoscopic images when the prints are viewed through an overlaid transparency “decoder” suitably prepared by virtue of being rendered with a uniform halftone structure having the correct special frequency in relationship with the partition frequencies employed in the printed document.

Resolution For Autostereoscopic Video Displays

A single pixel of a video display can display respective individual pixels of multiple views. In other words, a video display can include more views for an autostereoscopic image than the physical pixels of the video display would ordinarily support. The physical pixel is time-multiplexed in that the physical pixel displays a pixel of one view for a given time interval and a view multiplexer deflects the light from the physical pixel by a predetermined angle to make the pixel appear in a location corresponding to the pixel of the view. In another time interval, the physical pixel displays a pixel of a different view and the view multiplexer deflects light from the physical pixel by a different predetermined angle to make the pixel appear in a location corresponding to the pixel of the different view.
