Abstract

Three-dimensional (3D) light field displays require samples of image data captured from a large number of regularly spaced camera images to produce a 3D image. Generally, it is inefficient to generate these images sequentially because a large number of rendering operations are repeated in different viewpoints. The current 3D image generation algorithm with traditional single viewpoint computer graphics techniques is not sufficiently well suited to the task of generating images for the light field displays. A highly parallel multi-view polygon rasterization (PMR) algorithm for 3D multi-view image generation is presented. Based on the coherence of the triangular rasterization calculation among different viewpoints, the related rasterization algorithms including primitive setup, plane function, and barycentric coordinate interpolation in the screen space are derived. To verify the proposed algorithm, a hierarchical soft rendering pipeline with GPU is designed and implemented. Several groups of images of 3D objects are used to verify the performance of the PMR method, and the correct 3D light field image can be achieved in real time.
