In one aspect, the data relevant to the degree of depth are recorded in for storing same tape or the storage medium of digital visual data.Data (no matter whether being recorded on identical medium) are time codes or in addition by synchronously, for catch and store or catch and transmit, suitable reference between data that the respective picture of broadcast etc. is relevant.As mentioned above, the data relevant to the degree of depth can be stored on the medium that is different from the particular medium that stores picture data.When isolated ground is visually current, spatial data provides a kind of " relief map " of the image-region of structure.As used herein, the image-region of structure is commonly referred to as image " zone of action ".This relief map can then be used in optionally and revise view data in discrete and specific level, as intended for last demonstration, for example, for three-dimensional image effect.

In addition, catching and during stored picture data, collecting and data that record is relevant to the degree of depth simultaneously.Alternatively, depth data can be captured to each frame of DID within one short period, and/or video data is hunted down.Further, as disclosed in the interim and non-interim unsettled patent application of the Mowry confirming on be all incorporated in by reference here, its key frame that relates to numeral or film image generates, to provide, affect for example every width view data content of the enhancing of resolution, depth data needn't be with respect to each image collection of catching.The image of conventional images (for example, to distortion) is inferred to feature can allow 24 frames that are less than per second, with for example during image capture by spatial sampling and storage.Numeral infers that feature can also allow regular space to catch, and with the lenticular image with respect to catching, affects the image area in a lot of images of catching between the relevant spatial data sample of the object with image.For system is preserved acceptable spatial data sample, to obtain acceptable aesthetic results and effect, image " district " or epitome are changed between each spatial data sample simultaneously.Naturally, in static video camera or single frame application of the present invention, single spatial aggregation or " map " are aggregated and store according to each caught independent rest image.

Further, as disclosed in the interim and non-interim unsettled patent application of the Mowry confirming on be all incorporated in by reference here, and in addition as known in the art, other devices and selection scheme can optionally be coupled with space data collection imaging system described here.For example, catch the image that the lens of different focusing (or in addition due to optics or the impact of other image change and different) version gather, it can comprise the collection of spatial data disclosed herein.This can for example allow to be captured as application and the use of more separation of different editions of the lens picture of two different images.For example above-described key frame method has increased image resolution ratio (by allowing key frame very high at view data content intermediate-resolution, to inject image subsequently by these data), and also can be coupled with the spatial data acquisition device here, thereby produced unique key frame, generate hybrid device.With the method, (it can also optionally be caught to increase the key frame of total imaging resolution of material to key frame, extend the writing time of traditional sucrose simultaneously, as according to Mowry, be all incorporated in here by reference) can also make the spatial data relevant with it be saved.Therefore, key frame may be not only for picture data, and key frame is for providing the other side of image-related otherwise data of view data and the information relevant with other image details with allowing key frame; Such a example is image epitome distribute data (demonstration about such epitome with respect to beholder's position).

As disclosed in being all incorporated in by reference in the interim and non-interim unsettled patent application of the Mowry confirming above here, with extra selection scheme, strengthen and improve and produce rear and/or show and process, as the result of such data, these data are supplementing of picture to being caught by video camera.For example, can provide for showing the double screen of the image of the difference focusing of being caught by single lens.According to a aspect here, the parameter of the data based user expectation relevant to the degree of depth is selectively used for image area.Data are employed with optionally feature and/or priority, and can comprise the computing of usage data, and these data are being determined and/or determined that it is useful which view data is passed to aspect corresponding screen.For example, prospect and background data can be chosen to produce the viewing experience with special-effect or entertaining.According to the instruction here, the effect of three-dimensional visual effect as the view data occurring together with spatial diversity can be provided, thereby the prospect that simulation occurs during image capture and the spatial diversity true to nature of background image data, although needn't have identical distance between trapping period between display screen and actual foreground and background element.

The user's specification of separated screen display can be chosen to allow projection or independent " shooting " or image adjusted (for example dimensionally) to obtain the final image effect of expectation naturally.Be chosen in a plurality of displays of the distance changing from beholder or the possibility that display unit allows completely separated and strict multidimensional to show.Possibly, for example, compare equally little or even less image epitome with single " pixel " can have its own unique distance in the position with respect to beholder in the demonstration of revising, and as single real screen, can comprise with respect to beholder or movable scene or the video camera of catching it unique distance to each epitome of the things up to just viewed.

In being arranged on video camera or be provided with data relevant to the degree of depth that the depth measurement device of video camera collects make all images data and wherein selected region be treated as especially possibility.For example, disclosed skew screen method in above-mentioned interim and non-temporary patent application is for example passed through in copying of the three-dimensional picture entity of object, or by other known technology, is implemented as relevant with the view data of catching alternatively.The existence of the excessive data relevant with the object of visually catching therefore no matter for film, TV or static photography too much production is all provided after and special processing selecting, otherwise traditional photography or digitally captured in will lose these and produce after and special processing selecting.Further, from single image, produce and can optionally all epitomes of the image of initial captured be kept at each produced new image file according to the different images file of Conversion of Spatial Data.According to spatial data, force specific modification, to obtain the project effect of expectation, thereby produce different final image files, described different final image file needn't " reduce " image epitome to become different mutually.

In a structure more of the present invention, second (adding) space/depth survey equipment can operate together with video camera, and needn't be a part for video camera or the physics immediate area that is even positioned at video camera physically.Consider outside the camera lens visual field, for the data of the object part of other effect objects and digital operation, a plurality of transmission/receptions (or other degree of depth/spaces and/or 3D measuring equipment) can be optionally for example with respect to Camera Positioning, to provide extra position, shape and the range data (and other relevant location and shape datas) of the object in the camera lens visual field, to strengthen the selection after production.

In one aspect, a plurality of space measurement Array selections ground is with respect to camera lens location, so that the clearly and optionally detailed three-dimensional data map of the relevant environment of the things taken with video camera and object to be provided.Data map is used for revising the image of being caught by video camera, and optionally produces unique projection experience and the visual effect of experiencing close to the actual mankind, or the multidimensional impression of at least layering providing in two-dimentional movie theatre is provided.Further, can consider known imaging selection with image-related spatial data, it will be only three-dimensional nature in " imitation " or the image that temporarily provides that known imaging is chosen in, and even there is no " some " spatial datas or exceed other data of the view data of the information that provides relevant with the dimension of the increase of image.More than one image capture camera can be further used for collecting such multiposition image and the information of space data collection system.

Only for the object of levying property of example, rather than be used for limiting the scope of the invention by any way, provide for realizing the example of concrete aspect of the present invention.

Relate to by video camera, numeral or film capture and record picture and the open of range information is further expanded here.Further, here disclose and comprised the Biscreen display of translucent the first screen (two temporarily all in a structure, and be physically translucent in other are open) method of the present invention, particularly to demonstrate in manageable structure in current techniques.

The invention provides a kind of selectivity catches with the digital camera of registered depth data (by optionally from the advantage point of video camera or with respect to the analysis of other location transmission of video camera and the reception of this transmission, be included in the situation of use to the more than one advantage point of the degree of depth in image data), and in one aspect, video camera is digital.

Here, film camera (and/or digitally captured system or mixing film and digital system) and the coupling of depth data harvester, to allow for example camera lens position or optionally carry out optionally record near this position of advantage point from selecting, this depth information (or data) can belong to the image area of Selective Separation in collection, or can optionally be distributed to each pixel of display system of Selective Separation or optionally little image area, optionally width and the degree of depth with initial collection form, for example, the depth data numeral relevant with each pixel of high definition digital image capture and tape deck (for example, SONY CINE ALTA and relevant video camera).

Optionally, such depth data can carry out record by " dual system " record, comparison device (is for example provided between the image of taking and depth data, there is the dual system SoundRec that utilizes film), or actual film negative (for example can be supported magnetic or other tape decks, magnetic " sound bar " or magnetic devices for example KODAK for record DATAKODE on film), in particular for record about the depth data of image area and/or epitome.

Mention with depth-sampling and tape deck numeral, film or other image capture apparatus coupling, corresponding to the image of catching by image capture apparatus and can comprise that static digital or film or other static picture capture cameras or tape deck are important.The present invention is directly involved in the static of " photography " is caught, as to the capturing movement of film and/or TV and/or other moving image display systems.

In the projection stage, numeral and/or film projection can optionally be used.Consider by by " distribution " to the image area (or object and/or epitome) of projection arrangement or make district become different from other such districts, object and/or epitome in capturing visual, relate to coming the rear device of production of the view data of digitally captured or film capture disclosed herein freely may be subject to the impact of depth data.

An example is main screen, and it is than another screen that is called as rear projection screen here closer to spectators, and the former is called as prospect screen.

Prospect screen can be a kind of physically (or electronically) transparent type, with (partly), allows image to be presented on this prospect screen, also allows to watch discontinuously rear projection screen simultaneously.

In a possible structure, screen can be two shells (sheath) on roller bearing, optionally have normal movie theatre screen size, this structure is never restricted to the claim here the possible structure (or other translucent screen creation apparatus) of all physics, electronics and chemistry.

Here, should " shell " be screen, there is optionally large part and/or the band that can reflect, and other parts and/or band do not reflect.Object is the image that shows front projection in portion of time, and in portion of time, allowing spectators " to see through " prospect screen to rear projection screen, this makes optionally image display device, and for example back projection or other common images show and select to be not limited to projection (or any type).

Image display device can optionally be connected by electronics, take and allow the image that shows on prospect screen as stable and clearly, as interruption or digital projection to experience (film or numeral) the same.

Described " shell " optionally has the horizontal or vertical or means of " movement " otherwise; Have the object of (optionally reflection) projection surface of the solid and partially transparent of generating portion, the spectators that optionally allow to be positioned at both the place aheads watch the experience of two images on prospect and rear projection screen completely continuously.

Two screens described here are exemplary.Significantly, allow to consider and/or show that the more very many disclosure of screen and aspects of invention of multidimensional epitome can be included in structure of the present invention.Further, for example the complicated projecting device in solid material or liquid or other image display surface devices can allow not limit in fact the demonstration of dimension, the view data of not only being distributed and distributing (in general bidimensional display unit) by vertical and level in the degree of depth is provided, allows third dimension degree to show that at it in result be optionally discrete.

For example, have screen that 100 degree of depth select for example wherein cubical district show that the laser of (" screen ") or other external drive systems allow to be assigned with (and no matter catch film or numeral) in the separated simulation of spatial diversity of the actual object that view data represents in the picture of catching.For example " magnetic resonance " imaging, such display system can have external magnetic or other electronic effect devices and will change or " instruction " is imposed to such complex multi-dimensional projecting device (aspect), (or " cube " screen, although the shape of screen needs not be similar square or cuboidal certainly) image is presented in the degree of depth when impact is hunted down in the simulation of spatial relationship (or degree of depth) of image of object of (digitally or on film or other image data recording apparatus) be assigned with.

The laser effect device that shows image can also be the inner result of impact thereby the example that affects the external device (ED) of the image being presented by multidimensional projecting device (and/or material), and the assembly of multidimensional projecting device (and/or material) and/or aspect can be presented at the color of selection or image epitome on the Chosen Point in multidimensional screening zone according to laser (or other outside or inner device of forcing).Series of displays device also can be configured to such multidimensional screen, when the screen of selecting is when showing the target (or selection) of image epitome (and/or pixel or equivalent) according to the degree of depth or from the spectators that watch " distance " or the reference point of other selections, this multidimensional screen permission is watched by the part of other screens.

The present invention provides catching of depth data here, this depth data is enough separated optionally to utilize enough " degree of depth " and picture data that (with " providing ") so following Display Technique is provided, to provide partly the disclosed multidimensional that may be movie theatre is experienced here to show result.

Here the possible ownership character of technology obviously allows to select to catch with projecting device optionally to get rid of other such catching and projecting device, wherein uses multidimensional of the present invention to catch and demonstration aspect.For example, " film " can be considered to an image capture apparatus relevant with this system, but is unique acquisition equipment.

Consider similarly two or more " focusings " priority of the one or more lenticular images of (or the same) scene of selectivity for catching, the present invention is also applied to the image of catching as described herein, for example " biconjugate Jiao " picture.The catching (static or motion) and here can optionally be presented on the different screen of multidimensional effect of such record of the different scenes that focus on.For example prospect and the rear projection screen of the reception view data relevant with background focus version with the prospect of same scene and/or lenticular image.

Very clear, the major advantage of a lot of structures of the present invention is that view data can be optionally, and (with on purpose and/or automatically) is assigned to the image display device (for example screen) at (rather than only on screen of the single distance from spectators) of the selectable distance from spectators.Utilization can select such depth image of quantity to show select/device, such selection can produce the powerful viewing experience of watching close to " real life " by two " skew " eyes, and it has embodied distance and the degree of depth (different from single lens viewing apparatus).

The creativeness of photography, film and TV (and other display systems) selects to comprise now the ability of " object " that creatively affect image area and catch, how to be hunted down or optionally to change and synchronize for creative effect with them.

With reference to accompanying drawing, wherein similar reference number refers to similar element.Fig. 1 shows beholder 102 and display of the present invention 110 from end view.This structural table is clear occupies three-dimensional projection " region ", and in this structure, it comprises display itself.Here, not limiting other selects and the inner demonstration possibility producing, the impact that generation is forced in outside itself exerts an influence to demonstration aspect, affect selected quality and brightness (and naturally, colors component forms) the outward appearance of " color ", it may optionally appear at have three-dimensional any some place of " viewing area ".

Pixel 104 appears on the display plane with respect to the prospect of beholder.This plane in essence with the two-dimensional plane synonym of movie theatre (and most of display system, comprise computer, TV etc.).Here, pixel 106 and 108 shows the character of the light-transmissive of display, allows these pixels not only with respect to height and width (with respect to pixel 104) but also with respect to the difference place of the degree of depth.With regard to the degree of depth, with reference to being size to display from left to right in the end view of Fig. 1, the degree of depth also refers to along the distance between the epitome that may show recently and farthest of beholder's sight line.In screening zone, the quantity of possible location of pixels and/or imaging plane can be according to the picture target selection of structure and expectation.

In important structure, screening zone (for example) is " cube " of clear (or translucent), and wherein the combination of cube inner (material and/or assembly) allows to appear at the generation of light of visible ray, selectable color and the brightness (and generally other the relevant traditional Show Options to watch-dog and digital projection) at any some place in cube.Probably, when single " picture " that be captured as two dimensional image by lens is by cube (or other three-dimensional) viewing area during with respect to height and width quilt " distribution ", in the structure of expection for example, by the image epitome being produced of only having one to occur with single height and width (pixel, although producing or transmit the display light of epitome is not limited to as the pixel that produces the device of observable image section), as two dimensional image.But, the distance of the actual acquisition object in the image that more than one image epitome can for example, be caught according to () appears at the same depth identical screen distance of beholder's sight line (or with respect to) and locates, when being caught by video camera, object may appear at the same distance place from video camera really.

Fig. 2 shows movie theatre example according to content above.Again see the beholder 102 with respect to three dimensional display and/or viewing area 104, here, aspect, characteristic and/or the assembly (and as successively working to produce the function of display and the external equipment of view data in viewing area) in the example 202 impact excitation viewing areas of outside imaging.This example shows the color component (for example laser is possible method and/or the effect of impact) by the array transmission of optical transmission device, here, the generation that three such equipment is shown visible ray in little district in cube very much (for example, if be not in fact pixel, the region of synchronizeing with pixel), wherein, three lasers or provide the equipment of light to allow concentrating (for example, separated color component selection ground intersects) of impact.

In a structure, the material character of display itself or display part provides display unit by the light working and/or provide for outside.Fig. 2 has shown a single point of the light being produced.Naturally, a lot of such points (copying of whole picture of catching is provided ideally) are provided by such array, comprise that the image that such outside provides forms necessary speed and the coverage (again, the function of display or exemplary " cube " viewing area and/or other characteristic and assembly are pulled together) affecting.

Magnetic resonance imaging is the example of atypical imaging device, and (magnetic) allows the watching of cross section of three dimensional object, and other parts of this object the from then on particular display of " thin slice " are removed.Here, mean the inverted structure of such method of the imaging effect that outside (for example magnet of MRI) electronic effect produces here will similarly the region of (externally in the demonstration result of impact) impact selection, the cross section except the region of other viewing areas for example, although allow total screen distance of (from beholder) possible selected quantity or how many " inverted MRI " can be provided in essence with the form changing fast.

Further, as watch-dog the same, the display of visibly different chromatic zones and the optionally transparency of device that produce pixel or synonym can intactly be provided in inside, as the function of display.The variation of display, displacement or other variable aspect will provide with respect to other points " darker " on some points and see the ability in display (or farther along its sight line) to beholder.In essence, partly providing may equally little with conventional pixel (or less), or with the equally large darker transparency that is suitable for aesthetically the display effect of expectation.

With reference now to Fig. 3 A and 3B,, show multi-panel monitor displaying place, comprise that the prospect of watching catches the beholder 307 of version 3 01, prospect is caught version 3 01 and can optionally be revised by system user.Prospect is caught version 3 01 and for example by data administrator and synchronizer, by data storage, is provided.Further, image-generating unit 300 projection and/or provide prospect to catch version 3 01 on the foreground image display of light-transmissive optionally, this display may be provided in display screen, comprises reflecting part 303 in mechanical screen construction as shown in FIG 3 B of example and the part 302 of transparent/light-transmissive.

In the mechanical screen construction shown in Fig. 3 A and 3B, the length of removable screen transmits via roller bearing motor 304.Screen is optionally mobile to allow screen to be rendered as solid fast enough, the aspect of light-transmissive disappears with enough fast leg speed from part 302, permission is when being shown or being shown on display band 303 by display band 303, " by " apparent foreground image information watches continuously, display band 303 can be the aspect of direct viewing equipment aspect or image reflection in due course.

Prospect shows can have non-mechanical character, comprises the selection of the equipment with semi-transparency property, or is assembled into the semi-transparency property that provides variable.Further, prospect shows it can is the direct viewing equipment of change, it take the image information relevant with the view data of foreground focused is feature, meanwhile, for being positioned at optionally continuous background thereafter, showing and maintains transparency, translucence or transmissive photosensitiveness.

The view data of optionally revising that the background that since backdrop display curtain 306, free imaging device 305 provides is caught version 3 08 is feature, imaging device 305 can be rear projector equipment, direct viewing watch-dog or other direct viewing equipment, comprise being optionally the front projection equipment of same unit, this same unit is for watching 300 foreground image data is provided.Background is caught version image 308 and can optionally be produced continuously or discontinuously, as long as the character by light-transmissive or the observable image setting of mechanical structure of being interrupted transmission have sufficient continuity beholder is maintained to continuous, continual background frame (that is, by people " visual perseveration ").By this way, beholder's advantage point 307 has been experienced the layer-stepping multidimensional effect of a plurality of focuses, and these difference of focus seldom appear at the different distance place from them.Therefore,, when human eye is limited to while only selecting one " focus " in one case naturally, the constant outward appearance of a plurality of layers of the epitome of a plurality of focusing or same scene causes the new dramatic aesthetic experience can not find in the prior art.

Although a lot of examples described here refer to arenas display, the present invention is not so limited.Family's display, computer display, computer game and other typical consumers and Professional display monitor place can merge the layered displays of the physical separation as instructed here, the similar effect producing to realize the validity of a plurality of versions of the scene of being caught by identical lens.In addition, although produced, be mainly the picture of foreground focused, traditional bidimensional product in prior art for example, catching of " key frame " of a background focus even per second is also valuable.Such data are not at present for film issue, TV or other available places.But, the current key frame of focusing and the whole bag of tricks of other data managements selection that occurs utilizing the data for watching, example is method as described herein.

Therefore, when being even used for strengthening the production reprocessing of image can not inferring a lot of image information of catching completely when focus disclose picture detail, even in interim " key frame ", the data that second of focusing catches version also will allow product " reservation " and have otherwise the effective image information all lost.

Therefore, the feature here providing today relates to the method for catching valuable data, and when in the future development is when showing the new innovation of key frame data, the user of tomorrow (the same with the color film of prior art) is by the information having compatible and more interesting projection necessity, for watching following system and the technical development that can utilize additional picture data.

With reference now to following exemplary and relevant discussion,, further describe the present invention.

Thereby after the product aspect of image that the multifocal video camera apart from structure is taken and the projection of system or production, aspect is for example included in multi-screen demonstration place.

At first, picture enters video camera via the single lens of catching.The lenticular image steering gear of selecting two selectivity that for example prism or mirror equipment are divided into lenticular image the picture (that is, light) of identical gathering equate the part of (or not etc.).Thereafter, separated digitlization (video camera) unit occurs side by side, and each receives a selected separated lenticular image.

The corresponding digital quantizer that is delivered to these camera units at light is for example before CCD, relevant chip or other known digital quantizers, and additional lens mechanism (is shown the optics aspect of focusing for each corresponding lenticular image partly provides independent focusing ring; See the United States serial 11/447,406 that on May 5th, 2006 submits to, its disclosure is here all incorporated to by reference).Focusing ring is unique for each in two or more image version, and allows a unit optionally to focus on the version of the lenticular image in foreground elements and optionally to focus on other version digitlizations in background element.

Each video camera can operate to record the digitized image of same lens image, and the difference submitting to according to the second lens of forcing (or other focusing arrangements) aspect focuses on priority.Record can be selected in tape, DVD or other known digitlizations or videograph.The explanation here means to be restricted to the digitized video to TV or video camera, and alternatively comprises all aspects of film and static photography gathering-device.Therefore, " recording medium " is not to be solved, and the more specifically collection of lenticular image and processing.

Illumination and video camera setting provide the scope that strengthens various object lens, comprise the common apparatus that affects the depth of field and other photography aspects.

Fig. 4 shows video camera 402, it can be formatted as for example film camera or high definition digital video camera, and with single or a plurality of spatial data sample devices 404A and 404B coupling, for catching image and the spatial data of the exemplary screen of two object-trees and desk.In the example shown in Fig. 4, spatial data sample devices 404A is coupled to video camera 402, and spatial data sample devices 404B does not have.Foreground spatial sampled data 406 has especially realized the possible separated of desk and tree in final demonstration with spatial context sampled data 410, thereby provides at each element from the different depth/distance place of beholder along the epitome about projection of beholder's sight line.Further, background sampled data 410 provides view data to process basis or reality " relief map " record of separated image epitome optionally, it is general for example, with the recognizable object (, the desk shown in Fig. 4 and tree) in caught image relevant.Image high definition recording medium 408 can be for example film or electronic media, and film or electronic media are optionally synchronizeed with the spatial data being provided by spatial data sample devices 404 and/or be successively recorded with spatial data.Referring to for example on July 6th, 2006, submit to and exercise question be the U.S. Patent Application Serial Number 11/481 of " SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CAPTURING VISUAL DATA AND NON-VISUAL DATA FRO MULTIDIMENSIONAL IMAGE DISPLAY ", 526, its content is here all incorporated to by reference.

During the lookization of black and white motion picture is processed (colorization), colouring information is generally added to " key frame ", and some frames of uncoloured film have the color of the result for inferring conventionally, and conventionally never in any form with initial captured the actual color of the object on black and white film time relevant.(in the different films of taking in black and white) color " information recording " is caught and stored to " three colour band technicolors (technicolor3strip) " color separated technique, for rebuild original scene displayable version, show color " increases ", as the demonstration that presented by actual color is informed during initial shooting.

Similarly, according to the instruction here, the spatial information of catching during initial image capture can be informed " version " of the unlimited amount in fact of the raw frames that (the same with three colour band technicolor techniques) catches by camera lens potentially.For example, because " how red (how much red) " is variable in the manufacture printing from three colour band technicolor printings, do not get rid of modification and be actually redness rather than blue, the present invention for example, considers the aesthstic choice and application of such scope when obtaining the effect (, three-dimensional visual effect) of expectation from picture and its corresponding space " relief map " record.Therefore, for example, can assemble and have the optionally spatial data of details, meaning " each image is assembled how many spatial datas " is the variable of being informed best by the predetermined display apparatus of " tomorrow " or the assembly of expection display device.According to thering is sound, there is the historical effect of the original film of color etc., even at it to catching and show before such material having cost benefit, to the value of such scheme of use in future, application and system compatibility, be known.In today of imaging development, even if be not for many years applied to the version of display of the image of catching, the value of collection spatial information described here may be also huge, and therefore very appropriate to the business nominator of present image projection, comprise motion picture, still photography, video game (gaming), TV and relate to other projections of imaging.

For a person skilled in the art, other purposes provided by the invention and product are apparent.For example, in one aspect, the unrestricted image display area of quantity presents at the different depth place of the sight line along beholder.For example, each " pixel " that 10 inches of dark displays of cube clearly provide image according to each pixel apart from space and the depth location of video camera at different depth place.On the other hand, three-dimensional television screen is provided with the background area of " finally ", in this video screen pixel for example from left to right and optionally from closely to far away (for example, by level, provided from front to back), compared with at some other depths, more data may appear at the background area of " finally ".Before last background, foreground data has occupied " sparse " depth areas, perhaps only has a small amount of pixel to appear at specific depth point.Therefore, image file can be preserved image epitome by the form optionally changing, and for example, in a file, background provides (for example, being forced) with very soft focus.

Although clear for what understand, by illustrating and giving an example and described aforesaid invention with some details,, to those skilled in the art, apparent, according to instruction of the present invention, can carry out some variation and modification and not depart from purport and the scope of claims it.
