Abstract:
A method and apparatus for outputting a three-dimensional (3D) image are provided. To output a 3D image, a stereo image is generated based on viewpoints of a user and rendered into a 3D image. Since the stereo image is generated based on the viewpoints of the user, the user views a different side of an object appearing in the 3D image depending on a viewpoint of the user.
Abstract:
A three-dimensional (3D) image rendering method and an apparatus are provided. The 3D image rendering method includes determining intersection points between candidate rays and an optical layer based on a first refractive index of a first medium that is disposed between a display panel and the optical layer and a second refractive index of a second medium that is outside a 3D display apparatus, and assigning a pixel value to a pixel of the display panel based on respective distances between the intersection points and optical elements of the optical layer.
Abstract:
An operating method of a display apparatus includes calculating a range of a movement of a user based on eye movement information indicating movements of eyes of the user; and adjusting a stereoscopic depth of a three-dimensional (3D) image based on the range of the movement.
Abstract:
Provided are an image processing method and an image processing device. The image processing method includes generating an image based on viewpoint information of a user; rendering the image based on information about what is in front of the user; and outputting the rendered image using an optical element.

Abstract:
A three-dimensional (3D) image providing method and apparatus is provided. The 3D image providing method includes detecting an eye location of a viewer and providing a 3D image based on the detected eye location, in which the providing of the 3D image includes determining an image pixel value corresponding to a display pixel of a display panel, determining a luminance weight corresponding to the display pixel based on a ray direction of a ray output from the display pixel and the detected eye location, applying the luminance weight to the image pixel value corresponding to the display pixel, and outputting, through the display pixel, the image pixel value with the luminance weight applied thereto.
Abstract:
A three-dimensional (3D) image rendering method and an apparatus are provided. The 3D image rendering method includes determining optical images associated with candidate viewpoint positions in a viewing zone, determining virtual rays intersecting a pixel of a display panel based on the determined optical images, and assigning a pixel value to the pixel based on respective distances between intersection points between the rays and an optical layer and optical elements of the optical layer.

Abstract:
A rendering method for a plurality of users includes mapping positions of both eyes of a first user and positions of both eyes of a second user to a view area, the view area corresponding to a pixel. The method includes determining a value of the pixel based on the mapped positions of both eyes of the first user and the mapped positions of both eyes of the second user.
Abstract:
A three-dimensional (3D) image rendering method for a heads-up display (HUD) system including a 3D display apparatus and a catadioptric system is provided. The 3D image rendering method includes determining optical images corresponding to both eyes of a user by applying, to each of the positions of the eyes, an optical transformation that is based on an optical characteristic of the catadioptric system, and rendering an image to be displayed on a display panel included in the 3D display apparatus, based on a position relationship between the optical images and the display panel.
