3D Image Content Generation for Autostereoscopic Displays
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current super multiview 3D display technologies face challenges in generating content that is compatible with various display devices, leading to user fatigue and inconvenience, as they primarily focus on hardware improvements rather than user experience, and existing methods struggle to properly project 3D images using general computer images and signals through optical devices like lenses or barriers.
Innovation Solution
A system and method for generating 3D image content that includes a display profiler and a content generator, capable of receiving both general and 3D content, blending and rendering them into a unified 3D space, and multiplexing images for each viewing zone, allowing for user interaction and compatibility with autostereoscopic 3D display devices.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If existing methods generate super multiview 3D content by reconstructing 3D scenes according to display device specifications, then the content can be optimized for specific display hardware, but it becomes difficult to supply content universally and requires exclusive content generation for each display specification
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies universality by enabling a single content generation system to produce 3D image content that can be displayed on multiple types of displays (glasses-based stereoscopic 3D displays and glassesless multiview 3D displays) without requiring separate exclusive content generation for each display specification, thus achieving multi-functionality in content delivery
2Adaptability or versatility
If general computer images and signals are projected through optical devices like lenses or barriers in super multiview 3D displays, then existing content can be used, but the images appear undistinguishable to users and cannot be properly projected as 3D images
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies parameter changes by transforming general 2D image parameters into 3D image parameters through automated 3D scene reconstruction, adjusting depth information, viewpoint angles, and other critical parameters to enable proper projection through optical devices while maintaining compatibility with existing content
3Reliability
If super multiview 3D display technologies focus primarily on hardware improvements to increase views and vary distance to user, then display capabilities are enhanced, but user experience and consumption experience are not considered
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary content generation system that bridges the gap between hardware capabilities and user experience by automatically generating optimized 3D content tailored to display specifications, thereby enhancing user consumption experience without requiring users to directly interact with complex display parameters
