Abstract:
The present invention relates to an image processing system which is capable of synthesizing a pointing process or an augmented reality image by including a mark on an image among stereo images and photographing only an image including a mark with a camera, and easily detecting the mark.
Abstract:
A method for forming a stereoscopic image forms separate left-eye and right-eye images in a repeated cycle that forms the left-eye image by providing data for lines of the left-eye image, ordered in sequence from a first to a second edge of an image frame, then forms successive lines of modulated light according to the ordered sequence by progressively scanning lines of modulated light across a display surface by rotating a scanning element forward from a first to a second position. The right-eye image is formed by providing data for lines of the right-eye image, ordered in sequence from the second to the first edge of the image frame and forming successive lines of modulated light, progressively scanning the lines of modulated light across the display surface by rotating the scanning element in reverse from the second to the first position. The left-eye image is distinguished from the right-eye image.

Abstract:
Improved methods and means for recording or encoding and displaying stereograms as single colour images for viewing through multichrome optical filters is obtained by the use of a combination of colour balanced viewing filters on the one hand, and on the other hand image encodings based on numerical optimisation techniques and colour science. Also, filters and encodings can be so selected and realized, that their application allows for a simultaneous use of some of the implements of the prior art.
Abstract:
Disclosed is an illustrator- or painter-operated, computer-mediated system for creating binocular, stereoscopic images from 2-D and 3-D image elements created by the operator or imported into the system. Depth effects are synthesized by creating parallax offsets which are applied to the display positions of the various elements in the view presented to each eye. The magnitude of the offset for each object is related to the depth of that object, the direction of the offset is related to which eye the view is intended for. A 3-D input device is described as a system component which may be used to control such a system. Additional techniques are disclosed whereby digital information so created may be displayed, broadcast, or utilized in a virtual reality system.
Abstract:
A system for producing a three dimensional (3D) effect from displayed images is provided. Images of a video program are displayed in a complementary primary colors-encoded stereoscopic image format, which includes stereoscopic images of objects or a scene. Corresponding stereoscopic images are displayed in different colors. As the display refreshes, the display alternates the colors of the corresponding stereoscopic images and sends a control signal to active glasses worn by a viewer of the video program that causes a left-eye lens and right-eye lens filter to alternate the color which is filtered in by the respective filter. The viewer is able to view the video program with a perceived 3D effect without either of the lenses of the active glasses having to become opaque during display of the complementary primary colors- encoded stereoscopic image.
Abstract:
Shaped glasses have curved surface lenses with spectrally complementary filters disposed thereon. The filters curved surface lenses are configured to compensate for wavelength shifts occurring due to viewing angles and other sources. Complementary images are projected for viewing through projection filters having passbands that pre-shift to compensate for subsequent wavelength shifts. At least one filter may have more than 3 primary passbands. For example, two filters include a first filter having passbands of low blue, high blue, low green, high green, and red, and a second filter having passbands of blue, green, and red. The additional passbands may be utilized to more closely match a color space and white point of a projector in which the filters are used. The shaped glasses and projection filters together may be utilized as a system for projecting and viewing 3D images.

Abstract:
The present invention provides a novel imaging system for obtaining full stereoscopic spherical images of the visual environment surrounding a viewer, 360 degree both horizontally and vertically. Displaying the images obtained by the present system, by means suitable for stereoscopic displaying, gives the viewers the ability to look everywhere around them, as well as up and down, while having stereoscopic depth perception of the images displayed images.The system according to the present invention comprises an array of cameras, wherein the lenses of said cameras are situated on a curved surface, pointing out from common centers of said curved surface.The captured images of said system are arranged and processed to create sets of stereoscopic image pairs, wherein one image of each pair is designated for the observer right eye and the second image to his left eye, thus creating a three dimensional perception.
Abstract:
An electronic device (10), such as a portable telephone or PDA, has a display (12) in the form of a pixel display with an image deflection system (8) overlying the display (12). The display is controlled to provide at least two independent display images which, when displayed through the image deflection system (8), are individually visible from different viewing positions relative to the screen. Suitably, the image deflection system (8) comprises a lenticular screen with the lenticles (24) extending horizontally or vertically across the display (12) such that the different views may be seen through tilting of the device.
