Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a method for determining a lenticular lens resolution for use in digital press printing. The method comprises determining a digital press machine resolution d, setting a master interlaced image resolution m for a master interlaced image such that the master interlaced image resolution is equal to the machine resolution, setting a number of frames f to be included in the master interlaced image, and determining a lenticular lens resolution L according to the relationship L=d/f. The result is a digitally output lenticular image that can be have many applications, including use in products such as containers, packages, labels, and the like. The selection process accounts for variations in digital press machine resolutions, lenticular lens resolution variations, various screening algorithms, to yield a high quality, commercial-grade digitally output lenticular image.

Abstract:
A preselected lenticular image is created by capturing a first digital image on a plurality of first charged coupled device (CCD) sensor columns (21, 31). A second digital image is created on a plurality of second CCD sensor columns (22, 32). The first and second digital images are stored in an interleaved fashion and previewed on a lenticular screen (112) attached to a camera (10).
Abstract:
A set of enhanced apparatuses and a computer integrated processes are provided for creating large scale 3D integral photography images. A large number of mini projectors in a grid on top of each other and beside each other, are exposed individually with a computer calculated reverse (pseudoscopic) perspective image. The curved photo layer inside the projectors obtains sharp high resolution images through the achromatic behavior of the lens system. A guided back light system directs the light from the back through the diaphragm apertures.

Abstract:
A process for adjusting the content of a digitized image file used in printing an interlaced image on a lenticular lens material to substantially eliminate ghosting effects which might otherwise occur when the printed image is viewed by an observer. A pixel address within the image file is selected, as is a preselected number of pixel addresses adjacent the selected address on both sides thereof. Percent color values contained at each of the addresses within the resulting range of addresses are added together and the result divided by the total number of addresses to compute an average color percent value. The percent color value at the selected address is compared with the computed average and is changed by a predetermined amount if the percent color value is greater or less than the computed average. The revised percent color value is then stored at the selected address. The process is repeated for each pixel address within the file.
Abstract:
A composite image generator for producing a lenticular novelty item at a point of purchase is disclosed. The composite image generator receives a theme selection and a captured digital image. Images associated with the selected theme and the captured digital image are then interlaced and/or combined to produce a final composite image. The final composite image is printed and a lenticular surface is applied to produce the lenticular novelty item at a point of purchase.
Abstract:
A halftone type printing process for a digital image I intended to be viewed through a lenticular network includes a plurality of lenses. The image I includes a number j of pixel lines and comprises a number n of interleaved images. One interleaved strip of each of the n images is in correspondence with one lens. The process comprises the steps of sampling n images to obtain n digital images comprising a total j of pixel lines; applying a dithering algorithm to each of the n digital images obtained in the preceding step; cutting each dithered image into a number q of strips comprising an identical number of lines for each dithered image, with the cutting being such that the sum of the pixel line strips of the n images intended to correspond with the same lens is equal to j/q; constructing the image I by interleaving the strips of n dithered images in order; and printing the image I.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for printing large format lenticular images on a lenticular sheet (902) having a plurality of generally parallel lenticules (903) on a front side of the lenticular sheet (902). A sensor (209) senses a beginning of each lenticule (903). A printhead (102) prints interleaved image information on the lenticular sheet (902) in a series of swaths (220). A width of each of the swaths (220) is less than a width of the lenticular sheet (902). Each of the swaths (220) is printed in a direction parallel to the lenticules (903) and each of the swaths (220) is printed in a direction perpendicular to the lenticules (903).
