A phase-only computer-generated holography(CGH) calculation method for stereoscopic holography is proposed in this paper.The two-dimensional(2D) perspective projection views of the three-dimensional(3D) object are generated by the computer graphics rendering techniques.Based on these views,a phase-only hologram is calculated by using the Gerchberg–Saxton(GS) iterative algorithm.Comparing with the non-iterative algorithm in the conventional stereoscopic holography,the proposed method improves the holographic image quality,especially for the phase-only hologram encoded from the complex distribution.Both simulation and optical experiment results demonstrate that our proposed method can give higher quality reconstruction comparing with the traditional method.     

Computer-generated kinoforms of real-existing full-color 3D objects using pure-phase look-up-table method

A computational method based on pure-phase look-up-table (LUT) is proposed for generating kinoforms of full-color real-existing three-dimensional (3D) objects. The principle of the pure-phase LUT method is described. 3D depth as well as color information of a full-color 3D object is obtained by the full-color 3D profile measurement approach based on binocular vision. The obtained full-color 3D data is decomposed into red (R), green (G), and blue (B) channels, and kinoforms of each channel are calculated from the depth map and color information of the corresponding channel using the pure-phase LUT method. In order to reduce the speckle noise of reconstructed full-color 3D image, sequential kinoforms of each color channel are generated by adding dynamic-pseudorandom phase factor into the object domain. Numerical reconstruction and optical reconstruction with a phase-only spatial light modulator (SLM) show that, with the proposed method, full-color holographic 3D display of real-existing full-color 3D objects is available.     

Fresnel hologram reconstruction of complex three-dimensional object based on compressive sensing

Reconstruction the computer generated Fresnel hologram of complex 3D object based on compressive sensing （CS） is presented. The hologram is synthesized from a color image and the depth map of the 3D object. With the depth map, the intensity of the color image can be divided into multiple slices, which satisfy the condition of the sparsity of CS. Thus, the hologram can be reconstructed at different distances with corresponding scene focused using the CS method. The quality of the recovered images can be greatly improved compared with that from the back-propagation method. What＇s more, with the sub-sampled hologram, the image can be ideally reconstructed by the CS method, which can reduce the data-rate for transmission or storage.     

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.

A robust and secure chaotic standard map based pseudorandom permutation-substitution scheme for image encryption

A novel and robust chaos-based pseudorandom permutation-substitution scheme for image encryption is proposed. It is a loss-less symmetric block cipher and specifically designed for the color images but may also be used for the gray scale images. A secret key of 161-bit, comprising of the initial conditions and system parameter of the chaotic map (the standard map), number of iterations and number of rounds, is used in the algorithm. The whole encryption process is the sequential execution of a preliminary permutation and a fix number of rounds (as specified in the secret key) of substitution and main permutation of the 2D matrix obtained from the 3D image matrix. To increase the speed of encryption all three processes: preliminary permutation, substitution and main permutation are done row-by-row and column-by-column instead of pixel-by-pixel. All the permutation processes are made dependent on the input image matrix and controlled through the pseudo random number sequences (PRNS) generated from the discretization of chaotic standard map which result in both key sensitivity and plaintext sensitivity. However each substitution process is initiated with the initial vectors (different for rows and columns) generated using the secret key and chaotic standard map and then the properties of rows and column pixels of input matrix are mixed with the PRNS generated from the standard map. The security and performance analysis of the proposed image encryption has been performed using the histograms, correlation coefficients, information entropy, key sensitivity analysis, differential analysis, key space analysis, encryption/decryption rate analysis etc. Results suggest that the proposed image encryption technique is robust and secure and can be used for the secure image and video communication applications.     

Passive ranging and a three-dimensional imaging system through wavefront coding

A single-image passive ranging and three-dimensional(3 D) imaging system with chiral phase encoding was proposed in 2011 [Opt. Lett. 36, 115(2011)]. A new theoretical analysis of the system in space domain is presented in this paper. We deduce the analytic relationships between the object distance and the point spread function, and between the object distance and the encoded image, respectively. Both the point spread function and the processed spectrum of the encoded image have two spots, which will rotate with the variation of the object distance. Then the depth map is extracted from the encoded image and it can be used to set up 3 D images. The theoretical analysis is verified by a wavefront coding system with a chiral phase which is generated by a phase-only liquid-crystal spatial light modulator. The phase generated by the liquid-crystal spatial light modulator is more flexible than the fixed phase mask and can be adjusted in real time. It is especially suitable for observing the object with a large depth of field.     

An improved edge detection algorithm for depth map inpainting

Three-dimensional (3D) measurement technology has been widely used in many scientific and engineering areas. The emergence of Kinect sensor makes 3D measurement much easier. However the depth map captured by Kinect sensor has some invalid regions, especially at object boundaries. These missing regions should be filled firstly. This paper proposes a depth-assisted edge detection algorithm and improves existing depth map inpainting algorithm using extracted edges. In the proposed algorithm, both color image and raw depth data are used to extract initial edges. Then the edges are optimized and are utilized to assist depth map inpainting. Comparative experiments demonstrate that the proposed edge detection algorithm can extract object boundaries and inhibit non-boundary edges caused by textures on object surfaces. The proposed depth inpainting algorithm can predict missing depth values successfully and has better performance than existing algorithm around object boundaries.     

Optical display of true 3D objects in depth-priority integral imaging using an active sensor

In this paper, we propose a system combining the pickup process using an active sensor and the display process using depth-priority integral imaging (DPII) system to display true three-dimensional (3D) objects within large depth through real and virtual image fields. The active sensor provides depth map and color images of 3D objects. Using captured depth map and original color images, elemental images are computationally synthesized and displayed optically in DPII system. Proposed system provides scaling of 3D scenes for true 3D object. To show the usefulness of proposed system, we carry out the experiment for true 3D objects of three character patterns and present the experimental results.     

Extended depth of focus for transmission x-ray microscope

A fast discrete curvelet transform based focus-stacking algorithm for extending the depth of focus of a transmission x-ray microscope (TXM) is presented. By analyzing an image stack of a sample taken in a Z-scan, a fully in-focus image can be generated by the proposed scheme. With the extended depth of focus, it is possible to obtain 3D structural information over a large volume at nanometer resolution. The focus-stacking method has been demonstrated using a dataset taken with a laboratory x-ray source based TXM system. The possibility and limitations of generalizing this method to a synchrotron based TXM are also discussed. We expect the proposed method to be of important impact in 3D x-ray microscopy.     

Orthoscopic integral imaging display by use of the computational method based on lenslet model

In this paper, we propose a computational depth conversion method based on the lenslet model to display the orthoscopic 3D images in 3D integral imaging display. The proposed method permits the synthesis of elemental images for the orthoscopic 3D images at any arbitrary position without any restrictions and requires no additional procedure during the depth conversion process. Due to the lenslet model involved in the depth conversion procedure, the proposed method can broaden the flexibility of 3D image reconstruction in the integral imaging display system. We carry out the preliminary experiments to prove the feasibility of the proposed method. The experimental results reveal that the proposed method is an effective depth conversion method that allows the reconstruction of the orthoscopic 3D images at any arbitrary position.     

Depth map resolution improvement for 3D range-intensity correlation laser imaging

This Letter proposes a high bit-depth coding method to improve depth map resolution and render it suitable to human-eye observation in 3D range-intensity correlation laser imaging. In this method, a high bit-depth CCD camera with a nanosecond-scaled gated intensifier is used as an image sensor; subsequently two high bit-depth gate images with specific range-intensity profiles are obtained to establish the gray depth map and finally the gray depth map is encoded by an equidensity pseudocolor. With this method, a color depth map is generated with higher range resolution. In our experimental work, the range resolution of the depth map is improved by a factor of 1.67.

深度估计是传统的计算机视觉任务,在理解三维场景中起着至关重要的作用。基于单目图像的深度估计任务的困难在于如何提取图像特征中大范围依赖的上下文信息,提出了自适应的上下文聚合网络（adaptive context aggregation network,ACANet）用于解决该问题。该方法基于有监督的自注意力模型(supervised self-attention,SSA),能够自适应地学习任意像素之间的具有任务特性的相似性以模拟连续的上下文信息,并通过模型学习的注意力权重分布用来聚合提取的图像特征。将单目深度估计任务设计为像素级的多分类问题,经过设计的注意力损失函数减少RGB图像和深度图的语义不一致性,通过生成的像素级注意力权重对由位置索引的特征进行全局池化。最后提出一种软性有序推理算法（soft ordinal inference,SOI）,充分利用网络的预测置信度,将离散的深度标签转化为平滑连续的深度图,并且提高了准确率（rmse下降了3%）。在公开的单目深度估计基准数据集NYU Depth V2上的实验结果表明:rmse指标为0.490,阈值指标为82.8%,取得了较好的结果,证明了本文提出的算法的优越性。     

Modified smart pixel mapping method for displaying orthoscopic 3D images in integral imaging

In this paper, we propose a modified smart pixel mapping (MSPM) method for displaying orthoscopic three-dimensional (3D) images with a function of depth control in integral imaging system. In the proposed MSPM, the depth-converted elemental image array (EIA) is obtained through the pixel mapping process and the image interpolation technique. The proposed method gives us the depth conversion at distances different from the position of 3D object and provides various types of EIAs using only an original EIA for orthoscopic images. To show the usefulness of the proposed method, we carry out the preliminary experiments and present the experimental results.     

Investigation of resolution of the stereoscopic 3D images

Evaluation of 3D images is an important part of 3D display developments. In this paper, we propose an evaluation method which can reflect the characteristics of the stereoscopic 3D images in the depth direction.

Resolution of the stereoscopic 3D images which represents the distribution of the 3D images in the depth direction quantitatively is calculated and analyzed.     

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.     

A 3D image encryption technique using computer-generated integral imaging and cellular automata transform

A novel three-dimensional (3D) image encryption approach by using the computer-generated integral imaging and cellular automata transform (CAT) is proposed, in which, the two-dimensional (2D) elemental image array (EIA) digitally recorded by light rays coming from the 3D image is mapped inversely through the virtual pinhole array according to the ray-tracing theory. Next, the encrypted image is generated by using the 2D CAT scrambling transform for the 2D EIA. The reconstructed process is carried out by using the modified computational integral-imaging reconstruction (CIIR) technique; the depth-dependent plane images are reconstructed on the output plane. The reconstructed 3D image quality of the proposed scheme can be greatly improved, because the proposed encryption scheme carries out in a computer which can avoid the light diffraction caused by optical device CIIR, and solves blur problem caused by CIIR by using the pixel-averaging algorithm. Furthermore, the CAT-based encryption algorithm is an error-free encryption method; CAT as an orthogonal transformation offers considerable simplicity in the calculation of the transform coefficient, that is, it can improve the quality of the reconstructed image by reducing energy loss compared with the traditional complicated transform process. To show the effectiveness of the proposed scheme, we perform computational experiments. Experimental results show that the proposed scheme outperforms conventional encryption methods.     

Saliency structure stereoscopic image quality assessment method

Stereoscopic image quality assessment (SIQA) plays a crucial role in the development of 3D imaging system. In this paper, an objective SIQA model named saliency structure stereoscopic image quality assessment method (3SIQA) is built, based on the fact that human is selectively sensitive to various structure. Structural similarity image index (SSIM) is generally used to calculate the structure similarity between the reference image and the distorted image, and the selective sensitivity of human vision system is described on two aspects: saliency and texture. The former aspect performs through giving different weights to the image pixel value and its saliency map, and the latter one is represented by dividing SSIM map into three parts (edge, smooth and texture zone) and summing these parts with different weights. Moreover, the experimental results demonstrate its promise.     

基于边窗盒子滤波和透射率修正的图像去雾

针对雾线先验去雾算法存在的颜色过饱和现象、图像初始透射率估算不准确等问题,提出了一种基于边窗盒子滤波和透射率修正的图像去雾算法。为了解决初始透射率估算不准确带来的边缘细节信息丢失的问题,首先利用非局部总广义变分（TGV）正则化的方法估算初始透射率,并将二阶的非局部总广义变分（TGV）正则器来作为正则项,以确保对由图像颜色和深度之间的噪声和歧义引起的异常值具有鲁棒性。随后利用边窗滤波算法对初始透射率进行优化,从而实现对图像中纹理信息和边缘信息的保留。最后利用大气散射模型和多角度优化后的透射率复原出无雾的原始图像。实现结果表明,本文算法能够解决图像颜色过饱和与边缘处的细节纹理信息丢失的问题,且无色调偏移和光晕效应。在定性评估上,复原后的图像视觉效果好;在定量评估上,本文算法的去雾后图像的评价指标皆高于基于雾线先验算法。     

计算机辅助彩色立体图像生成中的误差分析与处理

柱透镜光栅的计算机辅助立体成像的基本原理是将二维序列图像进行切分和重组,使之以三维模型的形式展现,使合成的图像在柱透镜光栅下观察时具有"纵深感"。该项技术在广告、摄影、电影制作中具有广泛的应用。但是长期以来,在图像切分时并不能保证像素一定被整除,这意味着剩余像素的出现,合成的立体图像必然存在误差。如何处理剩余像素的问题一直是个难题,阻碍了该技术的推广。针对立体图像生成方法中的剩余像素问题,详尽地分析了误差的形成,并提出了强行取整算法和误差分散算法两种误差处理方法。实验表明,这两种算法能较好的处理剩余像素,增强了合成图像的立体效果,这将有助于立体成像技术的进一步推广。
