Simultaneous intermediate-view interpolation and multiplexing algorithm for a fast lenticular display

Lenticular displays are a promising form of autostereoscopic technology and several products have recently been commercialized. For lenticular displays, typically several views of a scene are acquired from different viewpoints, or are generated by using depth information. If the depth information of a scene is known, then it is possible to easily generate several intermediate views simply by using the stereo image pair and depth information. The paper presents a simple method to cor- rect the lenticular alignment error by compensating the correction coef- ficients to the viewpoint determination formula. For the realization of a fast lenticular display and removal of image distortion and artifacts, the proposed algorithm simultaneously performs intermediate floating- pointview interpolation and multiplexing on the scanline using the left- view and right-view images and depth information. Experimental results show that lenticular images having considerably reduced distortion and artifacts are generated by using the proposed algorithm. © 2007 Society of
