Holographic Pyramid Using Integral Photography

The simple aerial display system called holographic pyramid has been eliciting much attention recently. However, the image that appears to be floating in the pyramid has no depth information because it is merely a virtual image of a 2D image displayed on a flat-panel display and reflected at the surface of a transparent board of the pyramid. Therefore, we propose a new holographic pyramid syste...

3D capturing devices based on the principles of Integral Photography

In this article novel approaches for capturing 3D scenes are presented based on the technique of Integral Photography. The novelty in our method includes the development of robust, low complexity and high accuracy capturing devices using a depth control lens for managing the reconstruction of the 3D scene in front or behind the surface of the display device. To this end, high-resolution CCD sen...

Omnidirectional Integral Photography images compression using the 3D-DCT

Integral Photography images exhibit high intra-pixel as well as inter-elemental-image correlation. In this work, we present an efficient, omnidirectional Integral Photography compression scheme based on a Hilbert curve scan and a three dimensional transform technique. ©2007 Optical Society of America OCIS codes: (999.9999) Image compression; (100.6890) Three-dimensional image processing; (110.3...

Three-Dimensional Imaging and Display through Integral Photography

Here, we present a review of the proposals and advances in the field of three-dimensional (3D) imaging acquisition and display made in the last century. The most popular techniques are based on the concept of stereoscopy. However, stereoscopy does not provide real 3D experience, and produces discomfort due to the conflict between convergence and accommodation. For this reason, we focus this pap...
