Abstract:
The invention relates to a retinal display apparatus (100) for generating an image on the retina of an eye of a user, wherein the retinal display apparatus (100) is configured to generate multiple light beams, each light beam conveying an instance of the image, wherein the multiple light beams correspond one-to-one to multiple potential orientations of the eye of the user. Moreover, the invention relates to a corresponding method.
Abstract:
A depth detection device (20) comprising a stereo image recording device (21), a scaler (22) and a depth determiner (23) is provided. The stereo image recording device (21) is configured to record a stereo image of a scene. It comprises a first optical path for recording a first image of the stereo image, and a second optical path for recording a second image of the stereo image. The first optical path and the second optical path are of different lengths. The scaler (22) determines a scaling of the first image or of the second image, by minimizing differing lateral magnification of objects in the scene, and for performing the scaling. The depth determiner (23) determines a depth map of the scene based upon the scaled stereo image.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a retinal display apparatus (100) for generating an image on the retina of an eye (109) of a user. The retinal display apparatus (100) generates an output beam conveying the image and directs the output beam toward the pupil of an eye (109) of a user. The apparatus comprises an eye-tracking device and steers the output beam in accordance with a current orientation of the eye. The invention further relates to a retinal display method.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a focus tunable optical system (100) comprising a compound lens (101), which includes a plurality of focus tunable lenses (102). Further, the focus tunable optical system (100) comprises a controller (103), which is configured to shift a focus of the compound lens (101) from a first focal plane to a second focal plane. To this end, the controller (103) is configured to apply, individually to each focus tunable lens (102) of the plurality of the focus tunable lenses (102), a control signal (104) having a first value for the first focal plane and a second value for the second focal plane.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an image processing apparatus for determining a depth of a pixel of a reference image of a plurality of images representing a visual scene relative to a plurality of locations, wherein the plurality of locations define a two-dimensional grid with rows and columns and wherein the location of the reference image is associated with a reference row and a reference column of the grid. The image processing apparatus comprises a depth determiner configured to determine a first depth estimate on the basis of the reference image and a first subset of the plurality of images for determining the depth of the pixel of the reference image, wherein the images of the first subset are associated with locations being associated with a row of the grid different than the reference row and with a column of the grid different than the reference column.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an integrated system for capturing, processing and representing a three-dimensional image for interchangeable-lens cameras. The system can be used to convert any interchangeable-lens camera into a 3D camera and said system displays the results in such a way that the user does not experience visual fatigue. The system comprises a portable system that is coupled to a traditional interchangeable-lens camera. The invention also includes: a method for calibrating the image acquired; a method for generating a set of refocused images with superresolution, distance calculation and view point generation; and a method for adapting the above-mentioned results using suitable algorithms and subsequently projecting same on a monitor based on positioning microlenses in front of a traditional display.
