It is shown that the precision of autostereoscopic measurement is about 16 percent to 25 percent lower than the conventional stereo workstation. Autostereoscopic Principle The term “autostereoscope” is used to refer that a viewer can perceive 3D without viewing aids, such as goggles or Introduction eyepieces. The most popular autostereoscopic technology Accurate and realistic 3D data collection requires stereoscopic is based on the parallax barrier principle (Kaplan, 1952; perception and measurement.

Equation 3 reveals the basic relationship in the (paral- lax barrier based) autostereoscope. It shows that the ratio of the eye base and the viewing distance needs to be equal to a constant related to the monitor manufacture to obtain the best stereo effect. This constant essentially is half of the ratio between the pitch and the illumination plate’s dis- tance to the monitor. To achieve

  • Distributed Rendering for Multiview Parallax Displays
    Distributed Rendering for Multiview Parallax Displays Annen T.a, Matusik W.b, P¯ster H.b, Seidel H-P.a, Zwicker M.c aMPI, SaarbrucÄ ken, Germany bMERL, Cambridge, MA, USA cMIT, Cambridge, MA, USA ABSTRACT 3D display technology holds great promise for the future of television, virtual reality, entertainment, and visual- ization. Multiview parallax displays deliver stereoscopic views without glasses to arbitrary positions within the viewing zone. These systems must include a high-performance and scalable 3D rendering subsystem in order to generate multiple views at real-time frame rates. This paper describes a distributed rendering system for large-scale multiview parallax displays built with a network of PCs, commodity graphics accelerators, multiple projectors, and multiview screens. The main challenge is to render various perspective views of the scene and assign rendering tasks e®ectively. In this paper we investigate two di®erent approaches: Optical multiplexing for lenticular screens and software multiplexing for parallax-barrier displays. We describe the construction of large- scale multi-projector 3D display systems using lenticular and parallax-barrier technology. We have developed di®erent distributed rendering algorithms using the Chromium stream-processing framework and evaluate the trade-o®s and performance bottlenecks. Our results show that Chromium is well suited for interactive rendering on multiview parallax displays. Keywords: Multiview Parallax Displays, Distributed Rendering, Software/Optical Multiplexing, Automatic Calibration 1. INTRODUCTION For more than a century, the display of true three-dimensional images has inspired the imagination and ingenu- ity of engineers and inventors. Ideally, such 3D displays provide stereopsis (i.e., binocular perception of depth), kineopsis (i.e., depth perception from motion parallax), and accommodation (i.e., depth perception through fo- cusing).

  • Dolby 3D for Glasses-Free TV and Devices — Preliminary Table of Contents
    WHITE PAPER — PRELIMINARY Dolby® 3D for Glasses-Free TV and Devices Overview Three-dimensional television (3D TV) offers tremendous market potential, but up to now, the annoyance of the required glasses has limited consumer viewing and slowed adoption. The real future of consumer 3D as an everyday experience that can truly tap into the market lies with glasses-free viewing. While the industry as a whole acknowledges this, glasses-free technology to date has had its own problems, generally suffering from restricted viewing positions and distracting visual artifacts. Dolby® 3D changes that. It is a collection of processing and coding techniques brought to market through a collaboration between Dolby and Philips. The companies recently presented the Dolby 3D suite of innovative technologies to the public, garnering industry awards and accolades. 3D content is consumed from a variety of sources such as packaged media, broadcasts, and over the top (OTT) streaming. It is viewed on a variety of devices, increasingly including display devices equipped with advanced optical lenses that enable glasses-free viewing. When the Dolby 3D suite of technologies is implemented in devices along the path that 3D content takes to glasses-free 3D displays, Dolby ensures that the viewer’s experience will surpass any previous 3D TV experience. The underlying architectures of these devices must accommodate the complexities of Dolby 3D processing specifications, which are key to ensuring that 3D perception consistently meets the expectations of sophisticated consumers. But what is this underlying technology? How is it feasible in architectures prevalent today? When will all the pieces of the ecosystem come together? This white paper answers these questions in depth.

We show that light field display using dual-stacked LCDs can be cast as a matrix approximation problem, leading to a new set of content-adaptive parallax barriers. (Left, Top) A 4D light field, represented as a 2D array of oblique projections.
