Integral imaging without image distortion using micro-lens arrays with different specifications

Abstract. We propose an integral imaging in which the micro-lens array (MLA) in the pickup process called MLA 1 and the micro-lens array in the display process called MLA 2 have different specifications. The elemental image array called EIA 1 is captured through MLA 1 in the pickup process. We deduce a pixel mapping algorithm including virtual display and virtual pickup processes to generate the elemental image array called EIA 2 which is picked up by MLA 2. The three-dimensional images reconstructed by EIA 2 and MLA 2 do not suffer any image scaling and distortions. The experimental results demonstrate the correctness of our theoretical analysis.
