AI View-Angle Imaging for Glasses-Free 3D Displays
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing 3D photography requires additional equipment like naked-eye 3D screens or 3D glasses to view 3D images, limiting the accessibility and popularity of stereoscopic display technology.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device employing artificial intelligence frame-filling technology generates multiple images corresponding to different viewing angles, using a detection unit to track the user's angle and an imaging unit to present these images on a display, creating a three-dimensional effect without additional viewing aids.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If traditional 3D photography is used, then 3D images can be captured, but additional equipment (naked-eye 3D screen or 3D glasses) is required to view the images
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses AI to generate synthetic images that copy and interpolate the visual information between two captured images, creating intermediate viewing angle images. This allows the system to simulate multiple viewing perspectives without requiring multiple physical cameras or specialized display equipment, thereby eliminating the need for additional viewing aids like 3D glasses or naked-eye 3D screens.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the viewing angle parameter dynamically by using AI to generate images at different virtual viewing angles from the two captured images. This allows the display to adapt to the user's viewing position and provide appropriate perspective without requiring specialized equipment, thus improving viewing accessibility while maintaining simple device requirements.
2Adaptability or versatility
If stereoscopic display technology is applied to general displays, then 3D images become more accessible, but the technology is currently limited by requiring additional viewing equipment
Solution Approach 1:
The patent makes the display system universal by generating images that can be viewed on standard displays without additional equipment. The AI-generated intermediate images at different viewing angles allow any user to view 3D content from their natural viewing position on a regular display, making stereoscopic display technology adaptable to general displays while eliminating the need for specialized viewing aids.
Solution Approach 2:
The system provides self-service 3D display functionality by automatically detecting or inferring the user's viewing angle and dynamically selecting or generating the appropriate image. This eliminates the need for users to wear or set up additional equipment, as the display system itself adapts to provide the correct perspective, thereby improving both accessibility and adaptability to general displays.

AI summary
An electronic device, a display device and a three-dimensional imaging method thereof are provided. The electronic device includes a display unit, an input unit, an artificial intelligence frame-filling model, a detection unit and an imaging unit. The input unit is used to obtain a first original image and a second original image. The first original image is captured at a first angle, and the second original image is captured at a second angle. The artificial intelligence frame-filling model is used to generate a plurality of intermediate generated images between the first original image and the second original image. The detection unit is used to detect a viewing angle of a user relative to the display unit. The imaging unit is used to present one of the first original image, the intermediate generated images and the second original image on the display unit according to the viewing angle.
