    摘要: Method and apparatus for measuring the quality and sharpness of images and for using the measurement results to control parameters such as camera and projector focusing, range finding, optical system modifications and the like. In one embodiment, an image is formed on a medium which has an electrical property that varies predictably with the sharpness of an image incident on it. The property is measured and the derived electrical signal controls automatic focusing of objective and projection lenses, range finder settings, and the like. The invention relies on the discovery of an interaction between images, strain waves and electrical properties in certain devices which allows deriving an electrical signal whose magnitude corresponds to high spatial frequency Fourier components of the image. In addition to other useful characteristics, the electrical signal is at a maximum when the overall sharpness of the image is high and drops off significantly as the image becomes blurred. Alternately, high frequency components of the spatial Fourier transform of images are found by other means, e.g., optically, and the magnitude of these components is used as an indication of the sharpness of the images, and of other parameters of optical systems.

    摘要: Method and apparatus for directly converting between an image and the spatial or temporal Fourier transform thereof. To convert an image into its Fourier transform representation, the image interacts with strain waves in media that have electrical properties varying as a function of both the intensity pattern of the image and strain waves in the media. The electrical properties are measured to derive signals representing Fourier series terms defining the image. The derived signals are used to detect motion (including motion in the plane of the image), for image stabilization and scaling, and for pattern recognition. A new DEFT device (Direct Electronic Fourier Transform) obtains a Fourier transform representation of an image by utilizing photon assisted tunnelling current through an isolator film junction between two thin conductor films. Another new DEFT device provides spatial scanning similar to television raster scanning but utilizing completely different principles. Still another new DEFT device generates a two-dimensional spatial Fourier transform representation of an image without the need for two-dimensional scanning of the strain wave. An image is reconstructed from electrical signals obtained as described above by interacting uniform (but not necessarily coherent) light with strain waves that are a function of these electrical signals.

    摘要: A display method for producing a plurality of different views of an object scene simultaneously is provided. A series of two-dimensional projections of an object is produced for the plane of a display device. Wavefront interference information, independent of the two-dimensional projections is produced for an intermediate plane. The two-dimensional projections and the wavefront interference information are combined to create a diffraction grating in the display device to provide a holographic image of the object scene from a number of positions relative to the display device.

    摘要: A display device which is capable of producing a plurality of different views of an image simultaneously is provided. The display includes an array of semiconductor devices with an electro-optical material disposed over the array of semiconductor devices. The semiconductor devices include electrodes which are selectively activated to form refraction gratings in the electro-optical material. Each of the semiconductor devices also includes a processor layer which can determine a refraction grating which is necessary for generating a predetermined number of discrete images which are visible from a predetermined number of different vantage points or viewer positions. Since a different image is provided to each eye, the viewer is provided with a perception of depth such that a three-dimensional image is provided. In addition, since different images or at least different image perspectives are provided to different points, horizontal and/or vertical parallax of the display is attained.
