Abstract

We propose a real-time capturing and 3D visualization method based on integral imaging. We applied real-time conversion algorithm to conventional integral imaging pickup system. Gap control method with depth plane adjustment is also applied to improve image quality. Implemented system provides real-time 3D images with ultra high definition resolution in 20 frames per second, and the observer can change depth planes freely. Simulations and experimental results show the validity of proposed system.

Highlights

  • Real-time handling of three-dimensional (3D) information is one of the biggest issues in 3D display field [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10]

  • To realize real-time capturing and 3D visualization using benefits of lens array pickup method and integral imaging, we focused on this inequality between two pickup methods

  • We propose a real-time 3D visualization method based on lens array pickup method and integral imaging with recent conversion algorithm

Summary

Introduction

Real-time handling of three-dimensional (3D) information is one of the biggest issues in 3D display field [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10]. Lens array pickup method has various advantages such as it is simple, uses only one camera, is cheaper than multiple camera pickup method, and is less complex for calibration, it has the critical weak point, the pseudoscopic problem, to be widely used in integral imaging with real objects. Our group recently proposed general interweaving process between lens array pickup method and integral imaging [2], and this process is a simple pixel mapping algorithm working in real-time. We propose a real-time 3D visualization method based on lens array pickup method and integral imaging with recent conversion algorithm.
