Three-dimensional display with a long viewing distance by use of integral photography

We developed a technique of three-dimensional (3-D) display for distant viewing of a 3-D image without the need for special glasses. The photobased integral photography (IP) method allows precise 3-D images to be displayed at long viewing distances without any influence from deviated or distorted lenses in a lens array. We calculate elemental images from a referential viewing area for each lens and project the corresponding result images to photographic film through each lens. We succeed in creating an image display that appears to have three dimensionality even when viewed from a distance, with an image depth of 5.7 m or more in front of the display and 3.5 m or more behind the display. To the best of our knowledge, the long-distance IP display presented here is technically unique because it is the first report of generation of an image with such a long viewing distance.     

Phase-shifting digital holography

A new method for three-dimensional image formation is proposed in which the distribution of complex amplitude at a plane is measured by phase-shifting interferometry and then Fresnel transformed by a digital computer. The method can reconstruct an arbitrary cross section of a three-dimensional object with higher image quality and a wider viewing angle than from conventional digital holography using an off-axis configuration. Basic principles and experimental verification are described.     

One-dimensional integral imaging based on parallax barrier

One-dimensional integral imaging (1DII) which only has horizontal disparity is a practical solution of high resolution in the vertical direction, low-cost, easy-viewable three-dimensional (3D) display. A 1DII based on a parallax barrier is proposed in this paper. The 1DII consists of a parallax barrier and a display panel. The operation principle and parameter calculation of the 1DII are described in detail. Two prototypes of the proposed 1DII and conventional 1DII based on a lenticular lens array are developed. The proposed 1DII improves the quality of the 3D image and provides larger viewing angle than that based on a lenticular lens array, and it is simpler and has lower cost than that based on a lenticular lens array.     

Four-dimensional flash trajectory imaging using time-delay-modulated range-gated viewing

We present a four-dimensional flash trajectory imaging method to image object trajectories over time in three-dimensional space. In the method, time-delay-modulated range-gated viewing with multiple exposures is presented so that the time evolution of object trajectories free from background interference is directly given without complicated image processing and the motion parameters of objects can be estimated. The method is demonstrated by a ball oscillating as a pendulum.

虚拟和真实实验相融合的三维非完全数据层析

为了解决非完全数据条件下复杂流场的三维层析重建,结合计算流体力学(Computational fluid dynamics,CFD)、计算流动显示技术(Computational flo wimaging,CFI)和光学层析技术(Optical computerized tomography,OCT),提出了应用于非完全数据流场重建的虚拟实验和真实实验相融合(即CFD,CFI与OCT融合)的三维层析。非对称双峰温度场实验结果表明,与完全数据重建结果相比,虚拟实验与真实实验相融合的三维层析的重建双峰误差小于5％。因此能够更好地实现非完全数据条件下流场的三维重建,极大地提高非完全数据条件下流场重建的真实性,较好地与实际结果相吻合,从而为解决有限角条件下的严重非完全数据流场的重建开拓了一条新途径。     

Three-dimensional integral imaging with large depth of focus by use of real and virtual image fields

We present an integral imaging method to enhance the depth of a three-dimensional image by displaying it throughout real and virtual image fields. When the product of depth and resolution square of the displayed three-dimensional image is used as a figure of merit in integral imaging systems, our method can maximize this merit especially when three-dimensional images with large depth of focus are displayed. The feasibility of our method is experimentally demonstrated by generation of elemental images by a computer.     

Three-dimensional synthetic aperture integral imaging

We propose synthetic aperture integral imaging, in which an effectively enlarged aperture (or field of view) is obtained by movement of small integral imaging system. This system substantially increases the field of view and the viewing resolution. The feasibility of our approach is experimentally demonstrated. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time the synthetic aperture technique has been applied to three-dimensional integral imaging.     

Three-dimensional free view reconstruction in axially distributed image sensing

In this Letter, we propose a three-dimensional(3D) free view reconstruction technique in axially distributed image sensing(ADS). In typical integral imaging, free view reconstructed images can be obtained by tilting all elemental images or tilting the reconstruction plane due to large lateral perspectives for 3D objects. In conventional ADS, the reconstructed images at only a front view can be generated since the sensor is moved along with its optical axis so that it has small lateral perspectives for 3D objects. However, the reconstructed 3D images at any viewing point may be obtained because the virtual viewing camera may capture these slightly different perspectives for 3D objects. Therefore, in this Letter, we employ the virtual viewing camera to visualize the 3D images at the arbitrary viewing point. To support our proposed method, we show the experimental results.

Stereoscopic microscopy of atomic arrangement by circularly polarized-light photoelectron diffraction

A principle for stereoscopic photographs that enables viewing three-dimensional atomic arrangements is proposed. The azimuthal shifts of forward-focusing peaks in the photoelectron diffraction pattern obtained by left and right helicity lights enables a stereoscopic image when the two images are, respectively, viewed by the left eye and the right eye simultaneously. By taking advantage of this phenomenon, a display-type spherical-mirror analyzer can obtain stereoscopic photographs directly on the screen without any computer-aided conversion process.     

Effects of device resolution on three-dimensional integral imaging

We present the effects of a finite number of pixels in elemental images on the resolution and the depth of focus in three-dimensional integral imaging (II). We show that the number of pixels in elemental images determines not only the lateral resolution but also the depth resolution. The minimum number of pixels required in each elemental image is calculated to avoid depth-of-focus degradation. We evaluate how II system performance degrades as the number of pixels in each elemental image changes. The product of the depth of focus and the lateral resolution squared is used as the performance metric.     

Aberration improvement of the floating 3D display system based on Tessar array and directional diffuser screen

The floating 3D display system based on Tessar array and directional diffuser screen is proposed. The directional diffuser screen can smoothen the gap of lens array and make the 3D image’s brightness continuous. The optical structure and aberration characteristics of the floating three-dimensional (3D) display system are analyzed. The simulation and experiment are carried out, which show that the 3D image quality becomes more and more deteriorative with the further distance of the image plane and the increasing viewing angle. To suppress the aberrations, the Tessar array is proposed according to the aberration characteristics of the floating 3D display system. A 3840?×?2160 liquid crystal display panel (LCD) with the size of 23.6 inches, a directional diffuser screen and a Tessar array are used to display the final 3D images. The aberrations are reduced and the definition is improved compared with that of the display with a single-lens array. The display depth of more than 20 cm and the viewing angle of more than 45° can be achieved.     

Submicrometer tomographic resolution examined using a micro-fabricated test object

To estimate the spatial resolution of microtomographs, a test object on the submicrometer scale was prepared by focused ion beam milling and subjected to microtomographic analysis. Since human tissues are composed of cells and extracellular matrices with micrometer and submicrometer structures, it is important to investigate the three-dimensional spatial resolution of microtomographs used to visualize microstructures of human tissues. The resolutions along the direction within the tomographic slice plane (in-plane resolution) and perpendicular to it (through-plane resolution) were determined from the modulation transfer function of square-wave patterns. The in-plane resolution was estimated to be 1.2 μm from the modulation transfer function of the non-zoom image. In contrast, the zoom image gave the in-plane resolution of 0.8 μm. This in-plane resolution is comparable to the through-plane resolution, which was estimated to be 0.8 μm. Although the two-dimensional radiographs were taken with the pixel width of half the X-ray optics resolution, these three-dimensional resolution analyses indicated that the zoom reconstruction should be performed to achieve the in-plane resolution comparable to the X-ray optics resolution. The submicrometer three-dimensional analysis was applied in the structural study of human cerebral tissue stained with high-Z elements and the obtained tomograms revealed that the microtomographic analysis allows visualization of the subcellular structures of the cerebral tissue.     

A novel coding method for high vividness three-dimensional holographic display

The quality of the reconstructed holographic three-dimensional image is seriously influenced by the noise. A novel encoded algorithm combining the Burch code with the four-step phase shifting method is presented to remove the noise and improve the contrast and resolution of the reconstructed image. The reconstructed three-dimensional images are compared with the results of the median filtering. The performance parameters of two methods are analyzed. The experimental results show that the zero-order light spot, conjugate image and speckle noise are suppressed effectively. The quality of the reconstructed image is noticeably improved.     

Dynamic spectral imaging with spectral zooming capability

We report a dynamic spectral imaging system with spectral band zooming and selection capability that can adapt to different application requirements and significantly reduce the size of the captured spectral image data cube. It employs a diffraction grating to disperse the spectral information of the captured image and uses a dynamic spatial filter at the Fourier plane to select the spectral channel and spectral bandwidth for each spectral image. With a limited fixed spectral channel number, it can provide both coarse and fine spectral image viewing and capture. A prototype spectral imaging system with such spectral band zooming and selection features has been constructed. Spectral zooming from 9 to 50 nm resolution has been demonstrated.     

A 3D image interleaving method for real-time autostereoscopic display based on GPU

Multiview autostereoscopic systems display three-dimensional (3D) images interleaved from parallax images to provide adequate viewing zones for viewers. A 3D image interleaving method based on parallel processing with Graphic Processing Unit (GPU) is proposed to accelerate the image interleaving for real-time autostereoscopic displays. The proposed method is implemented with Direct3D Application Programming Interface (API) library. Masks used to interleave the 3D images are generated according to some particular principles. Both multiple texture blending and alpha blending operations are used to interleave a 3D image. The experiments prove that high interleaving efficiency and good stereoscopic sense can be obtained. The proposed method meets the requirement of real-time multiview autostereoscopic displays and avoids extra shader program.
