Abstract:
A filmless 3D printing method for producing 3D photographs on lenticular print material. The 3D photograph is composed of a series of 2D images of a scene acquired by a video camera and displayed on a video monitor screen. During printing, the projection lens and the print material are moved to different positions to change the projection angles and fill the lenticules with compressed images. While the video camera is moved in relation to the scene to acquire 2D images, it aims at the key subject of the scene at all times so that the location of key subject image on the images displayed on the screen is always the same. Thus, the 2D images exposed on the print material are automatically aligned. The 2D images of a scene at different viewing angles can also be generated on a computer.
Abstract:
An image out put system including an image printer 53 for printing images on a lenticular lens sheet 16 and a computer for controlling the image printer 53, while a plurality of images are being superimposition printed on the lenticular lens sheet 16, by making the size and the feed for each pixel smaller in the first direction so as to superimpose pixels when printing, or by narrowing the shape of each pixel in this first direction and then reducing the feed for each pixel by the portion by which each of the pixels have been narrowed. It is possible to make the number of pixels per unit length of the first direction large.
Abstract:
An integral, autostereoscopic three-dimensional image suitable for lenticular display is generated from a plurality of image perspectives by interpolating additional images from hypothetical perspectives, as follows. Initially, actual image signals are generated from a plurality of actual images obtained from a plurality of actual image perspectives. The additional images are obtained by operating upon the actual image signals and forming interpolated image signals from hypothetical image perspectives. Finally, an integral three-dimensional image is generated from the combination of images obtained from the actual image perspectives and the hypothetical image perspectives, and is suitably displayed. According to one suitable display, the integral image may be exposed upon a photosensitive sheet that is attached to a lenticular faceplate for subsequent viewing.
Abstract:
The present invention is a system and method that produces an internegative 60 from a digitally processed image or images that are originally captured on film or digitally. The digital processing by a computer 58 allows digital operations to be performed such as filtering, image overlay and stereo image creation. The internegative 60 is reduction printed using an enlarger apparatus 70 and developed, thereby increasing the resolution of the printed image. A lenticular cover can be attached to a stereo picture produced in this way to mass produce a high angular resolution, three dimensional photograph 8. The internegative can also be enlarged allowing digital processing to be applied to poster and billboard type images.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for producing the image elements of a lenticular image. The lenticular image includes a plurality of composite images of the same scene where each composite image includes image lines. The image lines of one composite view are interleaved with the image lines forming the other composite images to create image line sets. The sets include one image line from each composite image. The sets of image lines are aligned with the lenticules of a lenticular overlay by adjusting the spacing between the image line sets, so that the sets are in optimum alignment or phase relationship with each lenticule of the lenticular overlay. The spacing between image lines and/or between scan lines and/or image line sets can be adjusted to correct phase errors. The scan lines are printed in a fast scan direction of a printer in alignment with the lenticules.
Abstract:
An image processing apparatus for generating image data for displaying a stereoscopic image on the basis of an image for a left eye and an image for a right eye, the image processing apparatus includes first detecting means for detecting image pairs each taken in a continuous shooting mode among a plurality of images, second detecting means for detecting image pairs each taken consecutively within a predetermined time among the plurality of images, presenting means for presenting the image pairs detected by the first detecting means or the second detecting means to a user, and generating means for setting one of two images comprising a the image pair selected by the user among the image pairs presented by the presenting means as the image for the left eye and the other as the image for the right eye, and generating the image data for displaying the stereoscopic image.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To easily accomplish a stereoscopic image from only one photographed original image by introducing a lenticular stereoscopic printing method. SOLUTION: One original image is photographed by a digital camera 18, then, down-loaded to a personal computer 12. A software is performed by the personal computer 12, and the original image is shifted in a horizontal direction as long as one or more various distances equal to or below the pitch of a lenticular lens, then, plural sheets of virtual images are formed from one original image. In response to printing instructions from the personal computer 12, the plural sheets of virtual images are alternatively printed in the shape of a lengthwise strip by a printer 16 for every distance obtained by subdividing the pitch into plural pieces equal to the number of sheets of the virtual images. Then, the printed image becomes the stereoscopic image to be observed as a stereoscopic one through the lenticular lens. COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI

Abstract:
A group recording method for an electronic device is provided. The method includes establishing a connection between the electronic device and at least one other electronic device through wireless communication, acquiring a first image created by photographing a target subject, acquiring a second image created by photographing the target subject from the another electronic device, and concurrently recording by the electronic device the first image and the second image and displaying the first image and the second image together on a display screen, in which a second viewpoint corresponding to the second image is different from a first viewpoint corresponding to the first image.
