Image synthesis for autostereoscopic systems

The article considers image synthesis for autostereoscopic systems — systems that enable the viewer to perceive three-dimensional images without any special devices, such as glasses. The general image synthesis problem for such systems is stated and an efficient algorithm is proposed for its solution. Some applications of the proposed methodology for two types of units are described: a stereo display and a stereo projection system. We examine the optimization of technical system parameters with the objective of enlarging the region where the viewer sees a three-dimensional image.
