We propose a depth-fused display (DFD) with enhanced viewing characteristics by hybridizing the depth-fusing technology with another three-dimensional display method such as multi-view or integral imaging method. With hybridization, the viewing angle and expressible depth range can be extended without changing the size of the volume of the system compared to the conventional DFD method. The proposed method is demonstrated with experimental system.

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.

Proposed is a very effective conversion method from pseudoscopic (PS) to orthoscopic elemental image with adjustable depth position of a reconstructed three-dimensional (3D) object for integral imaging (InIm) in real-time. The proposed method is based on the interweaving process in multi-view display (MVD) with consideration of the difference between the ray sampling method of MVD and InIm. The simple transformation matrix formalism enables the real-time conversion from pickup image to display image based on InIm without a PS problem.
