A method for generating a micro image array for spatial stereoscopic imaging and an optical imaging film

This invention discloses a method for generating micro-image arrays for spatial stereoscopic imaging and an optical imaging thin film. The method incorporates processing resolution and observation conditions as constraints during the design phase. First, it determines the achievable minimum period difference and effective imaging height range. Then, within this range, it performs a grayscale-to-height mapping, converting continuous height variations into a processable discrete periodic distribution. Simultaneously, while generating the stereoscopic height through periodic offset, a discrete scaling factor is introduced to compensate for differences in imaging magnification. This method links position adjustment and size scaling during micro-image generation, allowing the scaling to change with the discrete periodic distribution. Therefore, the image proportions of different height layers are more easily maintained closely, the distortion caused by local size inconsistencies is less pronounced, and the overall stereoscopic image's proportions and edge transitions are more natural.
