Improvement of viewing angle in integral imaging by use of moving lenslet arrays with low fill factor.

Lenslet arrays with a low fill factor can improve the viewing angle in integral imaging. However, the viewing resolution is degraded by low fill-factor lenslets because the spatial sampling rate of the ray information is reduced. We show that both the viewing resolution and the viewing angle of integral imaging can be improved by adopting a moving array-lenslet technique.
