In order to disclose the present invention, from the 3D photo of three View synthesis be used to illustrate method for synthesizing 3D photo and Device.Each embodiment according to the present invention, device 10 are used to make 3D photo.Device 10 is set including Digital Image Display Standby 20, optical imaging apparatus 40 and the retainer for keeping printer material 60, as seen in figs. 2a-2c.As shown in figs. 3 a-3 c, Printed material 60 includes lenticular screen 70, emulsion 80 and the substrate (substrate), paper or the coating that support emulsion 80 (coating)90.Lenticular screen 70 include multiple cylindrical lens (cylindrical lens) for being known as lenticule 72 with In the compression of images of (project) will be projected as compression image 82,84 ....Numerical display device 20 can be liquid crystal display (LCD) it panel, light emitting diode (LED) panel, Plasmia indicating panel or is configured as receiving digital image data and not Digital image data is shown as to any display panel of image at same display position.Numerical display device 20 can be multiple Two or more images are shown at different display positions.The image can sequentially be shown during 3D photo synthesis process Show.If image is shown in nonoverlapping position, shows equipment that can be arranged at different positions and simultaneously show Show these images.
Through the disclosure, show that equipment 20 is described as being placed in the first plane, printed material 60 is placed on the In three planes and optical imaging apparatus in the second plane between the first plane and third plane (referring to Fig. 5).First Plane and third plane are substantially parallel to each other and are parallel to X/Y plane (referring to Figure 11 A and 11B).First plane and as a result, Three planes are also substantially perpendicular to Z axis (A-2C referring to fig. 2).In some embodiments of the invention, it is desirable that optical imaging apparatus It laterally moves in the second plane for being arranged essentially parallel to the first plane (for example, with reference to Fig. 5,9A and 9B).
The cloth of printing equipment 10 when Fig. 2A is shown at the first position that the first image 32 is shown in display equipment 20 It sets, to project on printed material 60 image with the first projectional angle by optical imaging apparatus 40.With first projectional angle, Multiple compression images 82 in the substrate for the lenticule 72 that projection image on printed material 60 is compressed to lenticular screen 70, such as Shown in Fig. 3 A.When keeping display equipment 20 and static optical imaging apparatus 40, printed material 60 is laterally moved and is schemed As 34 be shown in display equipment 20 on the second place so that image 34 can project printed material 60 with the second projectional angle On, as shown in Figure 2 B.With second projectional angle, the projection image on printed material 60 is compressed to the lenticule of lenticular screen 70 Multiple compression images 84 in 72 substrate, as shown in Figure 3B.When keeping display equipment 20 and static optical imaging apparatus 40, Printed material 60 is laterally moved again and image 36 is shown at the third place in display equipment 20, so that image 36 It can be projected on printed material 60 with third projectional angle, as shown in Figure 2 C.Projection with the third projectional angle, on printed material 60 Image is compressed to multiple compression images 86 in the substrate of the lenticule 72 of lenticular screen 70, as shown in Figure 3 C.
It should be noted that depending on lenticule as shown in Figure 4 angle, θ, compression image 82,84 and 86 can cover or The entire substrate (W) of lenticule 72 can not be covered.The width of compression image is determined that Δ θ is by optical imaging apparatus 40 by Δ θ Aperture (aperture) A and distance V determine, as shown in Figure 5.Total lenticule angle (lenticular of lenticule Angle) θ is determined by the geometry of lenticule.As shown in figure 5, display equipment 20 is located in the first plane, printed material 60 In in the third plane for being arranged essentially parallel to the first plane.Optical imaging apparatus (or one or more amplifying lens) 40 is located at the In the second plane between one plane and third plane.In order to which image is projected on printed material 60 with different projectional angles, Printed material is moved to the different location in third plane.As shown in figure 5, U between the first plane and the second plane away from From V is the distance between third plane and the second plane.The enlargement ratio projected as a result, is V/U, and optical imaging apparatus 40 be effectively amplifying lens.Depending on total lenticule angle, θ and compression angle delta θ (Fig. 4), the hole of optical imaging apparatus 40 Diameter A can be adjusted to that the quantity for being suitable for the image that be projected on printed material 60.In addition, depending on the image to be projected Quantity and amplifying lens aperture and total lenticule angle, θ, show equipment 20 on different location can overlap each other (figure 5,6B) or be separated from each other (Fig. 2A -2C, 6A).In some cases, the different location of the second image is adjacent to each other, such as Fig. 6 C institute Show.When using three images to synthesize 3D rendering, which be can be by one or more cameras or creation figure The image for the scene that (created graphics) is obtained with three different angles.However, to be exposed on printed material Three images can be incoherent image or text or graphic art (graphic arts) or their combination.
3D photo can be made of the compression image of more than three image.The image used when synthesizing 3D picture or photo Quantitative range can be from 2 to 100 or more, this depends on the resolution ratio of lenticule, such as.As shown in fig 6d, four figures As being shown at the four different positions shown in equipment 20 just to obtain four different projectional angles.In this case, All four images shown at four different positions can be four different views.However, at first and second The image of the place's of setting display be identical right view and the image shown at the third and fourth position be identical left view with Just it is also possible for synthesizing 3D photo as shown in Figure 1.
It should be noted that certain targets (object) in photo possibly are present at the plane of photo when observing 3D photo In, certain targets possibly are present at behind photographic plane, some possibly to be present at before photographic plane.When synthesis 3D photo When, one in the target in the plane of photo will be appeared in and be selected as main object (key subject).For example, working as When synthesizing the 3D photo of the scene of the people between certain target contexts and certain foreground targets, the people can be selected as 3D photograph The main object of piece.The main object being projected onto the image on printed material must be aligned (align), so that mainly The projection image of object by be located substantially on printed material a bit.The image registration procedure is referred to as main object alignment. For example, three images 32,34 and 36 be sequentially or simultaneously shown in display equipment 20 on three different positions at Just 3D photo is synthesized, as shown in Figure 7a.Main object 132,134 and 136 in these three images may be aligned to So that the projection image of main object is located at the identical point 160 (Fig. 7 B) on printed material 60.It that case, in order to main The purpose of object alignment will need mobile display image.As shown in Figure 7 B, in order to be directed at purpose, display image 34 is upward And court moves left and shows that image 36 has been moved upward.According to one embodiment of present invention, display image 34 and 36 from The movement of position as shown in Figure 7 A to position as shown in Figure 7 B can electronically (electronically) be realized, and on-mechanical It realizes on ground (mechanically).As a result, during entire synthesis process, display equipment 20 and optical imaging apparatus 40 can be kept It is static relative to each other, and by digitally (digitally) or electronically mobile one or more display images are completed to lead Want object alignment procedures.
In one embodiment of the invention, display equipment 20 includes single display panel, as shown in Figure 6A.In this way, The single display panel has enough display areas sequentially or simultaneously to show two at two different positions Or more image.In another embodiment of the present invention, display equipment 20 includes two or more display panels, is such as schemed Shown in 8A.As shown in Figure 8 A, display equipment 20 include three display panels 22,24 and 26, these three display panels 22,24 with And each of 26 be used to display an image.In a different embodiment, display equipment includes two or more Multiple display panels, but one or more panels can be used to display more than one image.As shown in Figure 8 B, work as display surface When plate 22 is used to show an image at first position, display panel 25 can be used at second and the third place Show image.
As shown in figure 4, compression image 82,84 and 86 cannot fill up the entire substrate of lenticule 72, thus in 3D photo In leave some gaps (gap) or blank (blank).This will affect the quality of 3D photo.It can fill in several ways The gap.A kind of mode is that the aperture of optical imaging apparatus is made to broaden.In one embodiment of the invention, by relative to beating Print material 60 moves optical imaging apparatus 40 laterally to make the aperture of optical imaging apparatus 40 effectively broaden.Such as Fig. 9 A institute Show, while will show laterally moving distance 120 of equipment 20, by 40 moving distance 140 of optical imaging apparatus.Distance 120 It is equal to (U+V)/V with the ratio of distance 140.The incrementss (increase) of Δ θ are equal to distance 140 divided by V.Of the invention one In a different embodiment, instead of that will show 20 moving distance 120 of equipment, display image 32 is by electronically moving distance 132, together When optical imaging apparatus 40 by laterally moving distance 140.As shown in Figure 9 B, image moving distance 132 be equal to equipment it is mobile away from From 120.In this way, during entire synthesis process, without mechanically mobile display device 20.It should be appreciated that for gap filling Purpose, one or more of other display images can also be together with the movement of optical imaging apparatus 40 and by mechanically or electronics Ground is mobile.In a different embodiment, instead of by 40 moving distance 140 of optical imaging apparatus, printed material 60 is moved Distance 162, the distance 162 are equal to distance 140 but in the opposite direction, as shown in Figure 9 C.In addition, by display equipment 20 Show that image moving distance 132 ', the distance 132 ' are substantially equal to distance 132 and subtract distance 140 (referring to Fig. 9 B).In this way, nothing Optical imaging apparatus 40 need to mechanically be moved.It is equal in gap filling method principle as shown in Figure 9 C as shown in Figure 10 B Method.It is used for when the first display image 32 exposes on printed material 60 (A referring to fig. 2) it should be noted that Fig. 9 A-9C is shown Fill the various methods in the gap in the substrate of lenticule.When the second display image 34 and third show image 36 such as Fig. 2 B and 2C It is shown when being exposed on printed material 60, these methods can be used as to fill gap.
Another way for filling the gap in 3D photo is the quantity N for increasing image to be exposed, so as to N= θ/Δθ.For example, if two images 32 and 34 are used to synthesis 3D photo (referring to Figure 10 A), but two compression images are simultaneously The entire substrate of lenticule is not filled up properly, then the quantity for showing image can be increased to four to compress image Quantity increase to four.In embodiment as shown in Figure 10 B, image 32 is repeatedly shown in first position and the second position Place, and then image 34 is repeatedly shown at the third place and the 4th position.At this point, the aperture of optical imaging apparatus is adjusted It is whole so that N=Δ θ=θ/4.In this way, it is static to show that equipment 20 can be relative to optical imaging apparatus 40, and only horizontal Printed material is moved to ground to change projectional angle (A-2C referring to fig. 2).Figure 10 C is shown.
It should be noted that numerical display device 20 is generally by for showing that the two-dimensional array of digital picture forms.Pixel (not shown) is organized in columns and rows.For example, row is parallel to Y-axis, column are parallel to X-axis, as shown in Figure 11 B.Should also Note that lenticular screen is made of multiple cylindrical lens or lenticule.If the longitudinal axis of cylindrical lens shines also parallel with Y-axis, 3D Moire pattern (Moire pattern) is likely to occur in piece.In order to reduce Moire effect, it can be slightly oblique printed material, So that the longitudinal axis of lenticule is no longer parallel to Y-axis, as shown in Figure 11 B, in another embodiment of the present invention, beaten instead of inclination Material 60 is printed, display equipment 20 is slightly oblique, as shown in Figure 11 A.
In a different embodiment of the invention, as shown in figure 12, optical imaging apparatus 40 includes that multiple projections are saturating Mirror or amplifying lens 42.Each of amplifying lens 42 is fixedly located, so that multiple images 32,34,36 and 38 can It is exposed on printed material 60 with different projectional angles.In this embodiment, all images can be simultaneously displayed at display and set On standby 20.During entire synthesis process, printed material 60 is remain stationary relative to display equipment 20 and optical imaging apparatus 40. If projection lens 42 cannot be arranged, prevent the compression image of image 32,34,36 and 38 is from filling up entire lenticule base Bottom (referring to fig. 4), then can be by the image 32,34,36 and 38 on electronically mobile display device 20 and in opposite side Move printed material 60 mechanically upwards to fill gap (referring to Fig. 9 C).
