Description

The combination image that has transition

The present invention relates to combination image, specifically, the present invention relates to lenticular images (Lenticular image), this image is to be made of the row of alternately arranging from the two dimensional image of routine.

Known have use bi-convex lens sheet or the combination image unit of fly lens sheet and the 3-D view that aligns with above-mentioned eyeglass, therefore, the user need not any special spectacles or the situation of miscellaneous equipment under just can watch 3-D view.Show " Three-Dimensional Imaging Techniques " (three-dimensional imaging technology) book at Takanori Okoshi above-mentioned elementary area and structure thereof be described, this book in 1976 years by New York AcademicPress, Inc publishes.Also illustrated in the US patent application serial number 07/931744 of following U.S. Pat 5391254, US 5424533, US 5241608, US 5455689, US 5276478, US 5391254 etc. and approved and had the bi-convex lens sheet combination image unit of (promptly have the elongated of a plurality of adjacent parallel and be the lens of the columniform lens of part).The also known available barrier sheet (barrier viewing sheets) of looking that has alternately opaque and transparent row replaces bi-convex lens sheet.

The combination image unit that has bi-convex lens sheet has used the vertical view photo of interlacing image dissection, these image sheets align with biconvex lens under the situation of three-dimensional array image, therefore, when the relative observer's of biconvex lens eyes vertical orientation, will see a 3-D view.Can use such as US 3268238 and US 3538632 described similar combination image unit and transmit a plurality of independently two-dimentional scenes (as the scene of incoherent scene or a series of description campaigns) rather than one or more 3-D view.This unit can show different image (the difference perspective picture of same scene) and/or incoherent image during observer's eyes inclination certain angle relatively (by moving this unit and/or observer's eyes), and/or the image of a series of description event motion sequences.By improving technically, the effect that is obtained is surprising.

US 3751258, US 250051, US 2039648, US 1918705 and GB 492186 have also illustrated such combination image unit, and it comes by reflected light to strengthen the observation to combination image with the reflection horizon that is positioned at the combination image back.

In double lens being made up the usual method that elementary area assembles, make the original negative exposure with the digitalized data of the Composite Double lenticular image that stores on the film recorder.The film recorder that is fit to is Symbolic Sciences International Fire 1000 and LVT Model1620B, and they can obtain from the Light Valve Technology of subsidiary company of the Eastman Kodak Company of the Rochester of New York.United States Patent (USP) 5276478 discloses a kind of suitable negative film exposure technique.After take a picture handling, usually with stereopticon with negative film print to the positive blank of suitable film quality or papery.After flushing was handled, coated with adhesive and align with a bi-convex lens sheet and be close on this lens on the compound positive of biconvex lens was so that can for good and all be bonded on this lens under situation about aligning with the biconvex lens combination picture that prints off.But the also known rear side that biconvex lens type image directly can be write a bi-convex lens sheet, this rear side are coated with such as US 5349419 and US 5279912 described suitable receiving layers.In addition, biconvex lens type image can also temporarily " be write " next-door neighbour's rear side, just as formed demonstration on CRT or LCD (LCD) screen.

When an image of lenticular images was different from next image in terms of content basically, lenticular images will go wrong.For example, when lenticular images is when being made of a motion sequence, first in this sequence and last image with regard to the one or more unit in the image scene of motion, have significant difference in terms of content.When observing the image of biconvex lens type image (as motion sequence),, will between these images that constitute by different basically contents, produce undesirable jump when the certain angle of elementary area inclination.For example, with regard to the lenticular images that is loaded with the single movement sequence, in the scope that makes elementary area inclination certain angle with during observing this motion sequence, when described angle is increased to main viewing angle above image, will between last and first image of this motion sequence, watch unexpected jump.This jump can be upset the appreciation of beholder to lenticular images content itself significantly.And owing to there is this jump, problem can take place aspect their logical orders watching all images and understand in beholder usually under the situation of biconvex lens motion sequence.

Therefore, wish very much and can come to provide lenticular images with a kind of means of the problem that reduces or eliminates above-mentioned disturbance jump and caused for the beholder.

So, the invention provides the method that forms combination image (lenticular images specifically) with first group and second group of image, the combinations thereof image will be aligned so that seeing through the compound lens sheet watches, and described method comprises:

A) form one group of transfer image acquisition with at least one image in every group of image, each transition figure

Picture all has first area and nonoverlapping second area, and described first area is first

The part of an image in the group image, described second area then is second group of image

In the part of an image;

B) make from the row of first, second and transfer image acquisition group and alternately arrange to form described combination

The compound lens sheet is aimed at and seen through to image therefore, at described image with the compound lens sheet

When watching, can in the middle of first and second groups of images, see the transfer image acquisition group.

The present invention also provides a kind of equipment, and it can be carried out said method and use any proper device (as suitable general processor and/or its hardware equivalents of programming of the warp that is used for said method all or some step).The present invention also provides a kind of combination image (comprising a lenticular images), and this image can form with said method or equipment.This combination image unit comprises:

From first group of image, therefore the row of alternately arranging of second group of image and transition group image, aiming at above-mentioned image and see through the compound lens sheet when watching, can see transition group image in the middle of first and second groups of images;

Wherein, each transfer image acquisition all has a first area and a nonoverlapping second area, and described first area is the part of an image in first group of image, and described second area then is the part of an image in second group of image.

Combination image of the present invention unit (lenticular images unit specifically) comprises combination image of the present invention (lenticular images specifically), this image and combination watch sheet (such as bi-convex lens sheet or look the barrier sheet) to align, and watch sheet to watch described combination image so that can see through this.

Method of the present invention, equipment and combination image provide a kind of like this means for combination image, wherein, can reduce or eliminate the jump that can between image, occur when watching motion sequence, thereby make the user to watch combination image having only under the situation that does not have disturbance seldom or fully with significantly different scene contents such as at the inclination biconvex lens parts.

For the ease of understanding, used identical label in the place that can be expressed as the common same unit of above-mentioned each accompanying drawing.

In the present invention, should become to comprise one or more images to " one group " image understanding.Described image can be any kind and comprise that image any amount of or that all are such, these images are images of the image that is made of the real world scene or the image construction that generated by computing machine.First group and second group of image (are noted that once more, every group of image is one or more images) to be included in scene content aspect be incoherent image (that is to say that the one or more or all unit in scene all are different from the unit in another scene) or comprise all in this way from the associated picture of a motion image sequence.For example, the set of diagrams picture can be an image or from the sequence by a plurality of image constructions of a motion image sequence starting point, and another group image can be an image or from the sequence by a plurality of image constructions of another motion image sequence ending.

Should be noted that in the present invention, the bi-convex lens sheet of biconvex lens is arranged on the preferably the sort of front surface although described compound lens sheet can be the fly lens sheet.In this case, the respective image that uses with this lens is a biconvex lens type image.Perhaps, described compound lens sheet also can have some such zones, in each zone of running through its volume different refractive indexes is arranged.And the volume of described compound lens sheet is to form like this, make its can (with the surface of this lens as the outside surface of arc-shaped outer surface, flat outer surface or some other shape together) as fly's eye or bi-convex lens sheet provide usually, provide same light refraction.And the back of lens also can be crooked, so that strengthen the effect of lens or the offset lens structure focal plane that intrinsic be bent.Therefore, the sweep of described back can have the shape that can be complementary with the curvature of the focal plane of lens.In addition, " combination " image is meant the image that is made of the fragment (being alternate row) from least one complete image (and normally more than one image) under the situation of lenticular images, and said fragment is alignd with corresponding separate lenses.Thereby when user's the relative image-generating unit of eyes was in correct angle, each in one or more images all was visible.The compound lens web plate can be the continuous web plate of any assembled unit lens chip.

Should be noted that in this application " processor " is meant such as general digital processor or the appropriate signals processor with hard-wired equivalent circuit through suitably programming.Above-mentioned technology also can be used to proofread and correct the curvature of biconvex lens axis.

As for the receiver media that will write combination image thereon, can be exactly the rear side (in common compound lens sheet, this rear side has the shape opposite with lens surface, such as the half-cylindrical lens surface of bi-convex lens sheet) of overall lens sheet.Perhaps, image receiver media also can be such as the one deck that is coated in rear side or which floor photosensitive layer (specifically being any known photographic layer).Should be realized that, if by bonding, next of dependence hot pressing or electrostatic inkjet replica method are loaded with one or more photographic layers or other transparent base layer (as the transparent base layer of common film) that can write the image bearing bed is placed on the bi-convex lens sheet, the part (therefore, photographic layer also is the part of the rear side of whole bi-convex lens sheet) that then this transparent base layer can be regarded as whole bi-convex lens sheet.In addition, the image receiver media on the described rear side can be coated with before or after writing image and apply protective seam.With regard to the protective seam of coating before writing, this protective seam can be transparent, therefore, can be write by the light beam of the photosensitive layer on the described rear side of irradiation.Should also be noted that, method of the present invention can be applied to such combination image (particularly lenticular images), these images present the effect of wide range, comprise motion, depth, sudden change (being obvious incoherent image) or other effect relevant with biconvex lens.

In this application, the perspective sequence of image is meant the image sequence (at least two images) in the combination image, they be from different power pins (promptly position) from different perspectives thus the scene view can provide 3-D effect when the compound lens sheet is watched seeing through.This sequence also is called " depth image ".If used at least three different fluoroscopy images, then can look about the object in the described scene at least in part.Motion sequence is the image sequence by a plurality of (such as two, three, four or more) image construction, all total at least one (most of or whole) the scene unit of each image wherein, but these unit have changed position, shape or size in described scene in the mode of logic in this image sequence.The motion image sequence that is used for lenticular images is two dimensional image normally, but can constitute with a fluoroscopy images sequence.A two dimensional image is meant a kind of like this image, and when watching when aligning and through compound lens, this image is without any visible deep-section (that is to say that this image is not three-dimensional, the beholder can't look about this image) at all.The scene unit here is meant the identical view (this view comprises the object that shows as same size) of same object.

Following with reference to accompanying drawing, as shown in Figure 1, a typical lenticular images unit comprises a pair of convex lens image (11), and it contains the some groups of alternate row 14 (for clarity sake, only showing some group alternate row 14 among Fig. 1) of taking from each image.Every group of alternate row 14 all contains from the delegation in each image in mode known in the biconvex lens imaging technique.Described lenticular images unit also comprises a bi-convex lens sheet (12).The front side 12a of lens (12) comprises a plurality of adjacent and parallel straight biconvex lens 13 with convex lens surface.Lenticular images 11 generally is positioned at the rear side 126 position adjacent places (although also can have at interval with this rear side) with lens 12, and every group of alternate row 14 all aligns with respective lenticular lens 13.This alignment do not need all alternate row in one group of alternate row 14 all be positioned at corresponding biconvex lens 13 under (although being not always the case usually), because, under such as US 5276478 and 5278608 described some situation, in fact one group of some alternate row that replaces in the row of arranging is positioned at the below of adjacent biconvex lens.Image 11 is called as the lenticular images unit sometimes when aligning with lens 12.When image 11 and lens 12 are horizontal as shown in Figure 1, and the biconvex lens of lens 12 is when being parallel to beholder's the plane of eyes (being sometimes referred to as user or observer), and lens 12 makes the observer once only see an image.Note that if the horizontal level of relative Fig. 1 in lenticular images unit of Fig. 1 revolve turn 90 degrees thereby biconvex lens perpendicular to beholder's eyes, then can see two images simultaneously, thereby can see the biconvex lens figure of a depth in known mode.With regard to Fig. 2, observer (24) just can see all image by certain angle tilt to different positions (21) (22) (23) by making displayed map continuously, and above-mentioned each position is all corresponding to the view of a specific image.Described image can be the combination in any of still image, depth image (just just in time can observe it when the biconvex lens unit is in vertical position) or motion image sequence or these three kinds of images.With regard to motion sequence, it seems that described image sequence has the speed of suitable frame rate to tilt, the sensation that can obtain to move by certain angle with by the observer by making biconvex lens.Among Fig. 2, biconvex lens 13 is sightless, because they generally all have very little width (for example less than 1 millimeter) actually.

Lenticular images has a kind of special performances, promptly can repeat to show same image sequence when the convex lens image tilts above the entire image sequence back and forth.This characteristics are intrinsic and will be described in detail following by present technique, are very important but understand it herein.Shown in Fig. 3 summary,, can show first image (31) once more when when first image (31) is played to last image (33) via intermediate image (32).This characteristics can cause the jump of picture material usually and the observer is puzzled, because the observer does not recognize that image sequence has begun again, but it are regarded as jumping suddenly and unexpectedly between the image.In addition, the observer usually can concentrate and be noted that this unscheduled event and can not recognize where be the beginning and the ending of image sequence.At last, the observer can feel disappointed, because he or she can not a glance just enjoy lenticular images.

As shown in Figure 4, the present invention has introduced one group of transfer image acquisition (34), and they intert between first image (31) of last image (33) of image sequence and image sequence.By utilizing this transition figure, as shown in Figure 5, so that when first image (31) watches last image (33) to watch transition group image (34) then via intermediate image (32) always, the observer can regard all images as a circulation when inclination lenticular images unit.

Below when playing lenticular images, can repeatedly show the reason of same sequence continuously from the explanation of the angle of technology.This explanation has been used the lenticular images of looking the barrier sheet with opaque and transparent slits alternately but can extend to other technology such as fly lens sheet and image or extend to its understanding with regard to bi-convex lens sheet.

Each image that is embedded in the lenticular images is to resolve into a plurality of or capable (they can be one or more pixels on width), and, they are in corresponding biconvex lens back, and alternately arrange in known mode at the focus place of these lens, and align.For example, this alternately arrangement has been described in US 4506296, US 5278608, US 5276478, US 5455689 and US 3534164.Therefore, as shown in Figure 6, as observer (24) when watching lenticular lens array, he or she can see the image line (42) that is projected to infinity.By seeing all biconvex lens simultaneously, the observer can see simultaneously that all images of an image is capable, thereby can see whole respective image.As shown in Figure 7, when the viewing angle with respect to the observer (24) of lenticular images changed, the observer can see the image line (43) (thereby the observer can see a different image) from another image in the back of lenticular lens array.Because the width of each image line far is narrower than the width of biconvex lens self, so, multiple bar chart picture capable (the capable quantity of different images is corresponding to the quantity of appreciable image) can be arranged in same biconvex lens back.Therefore, the image that the observer saw depends on the viewing angle to lenticular images.

But the free space of each biconvex lens back is limited, thereby only there is the image line of limited quantity each biconvex lens back.Therefore, as shown in Figure 8, when above-mentioned last image line below lenticular images tilt to surpass biconvex lens, observer (24) it will be appreciated that first image line (45) below the adjacent biconvex lens.This phenomenon means: have at image under the situation of logical order, lenticular images can jump to first image from last image suddenly.As shown in Figure 9, the image seen in this case of observer (24) also is first image line (45) below the adjacent biconvex lens.

Therefore, importantly will recognize: to the observer is that this specific character of problem can change into a kind of advantage by the present invention.Utilization is coded in the ending of a series of images on the lenticular images and the transfer image acquisition group between the starting point, the mode that shows these images can be converted into as described in Figure 5 circulation pattern rather than demonstration and repeat pattern shown in Figure 3.Circulation pattern also has such advantage, that is: the notion of image sequence starting point and terminal point no longer includes in all senses, because there is not beginning or end in the circulation.

But, need select to be encoded to first image on the lenticular images.This first image can be any one image in the image sequence, and as long as in the correct order all images are encoded, the image sequence of this situation will look like identical.Difference only is that lenticular images must tilt to different angles so that can see first image.So, suitably carefully select the angle of lenticular images, thereby can be easier to find the starting point of lenticular images content with respect to observer's axis of vision.A kind of possibility is that above-mentioned first image is encoded, and makes that this first image can manifest to the observer when display and axis of vision keep vertical.

Should be noted that being with or without transition in notion relevant with selecting first image and the image sequence has nothing to do, and can under situation, in a series of images, be realized without any transition.But, need transition so that make full use of the content that the advantage of this circulation pattern shows continuous content rather than shows the jump when not comprising transition.

The present invention has introduced one group of transfer image acquisition, and they generally have one to 20 (more particularly having two to four) between other image, such as the starting point of image sequence and the image between the ending.Have found that the resolution characteristic of human eye is promptly such: when transition is when only being play fast enough by a few (being generally two to four) image construction and these images, said transition looks like level and smooth.But, be used for forming the selected amount of images of transition and be not limited to four, but can expand as required.

Can from following kind, select the pattern of transfer image acquisition group.But the transfer image acquisition group is not limited to these kinds, present technique professional the transition of known any kind of all be applicable to our said purpose.

First kind of transition as shown in figure 10, it is with starting from a boundary and progressively replacing an image (51) via another image (55) that transition group image 52,53,54 is scanned up to another border.Second kind of transition shown in Figure 11 is that second image (65) is shown as the set point that starts from first image (61) and expands the geometric format that has covered the biconvex lens entire area through transition group image (62) (63) (64) until this second image.The third transition shown in Figure 12 is a bit to be that the rotation pattern at center replaces first image (71) gradually with second image (75) according to the image that covers first image with (72) (73) (74) little by little.The 4th kind of transition be by by how much or at random pattern replace all pixels of an image gradually and a picture breakdown become another image with the pixel of another image.In the above-mentioned transition each all method of available mathematics forms, and takes a sample into several images then, is generally one to 20 image, makes up predetermined transition with this.Above-mentioned transition can be placed on the diverse location in the image sequence, below some example will be described.

In the transition of above-mentioned each type, as can be seen, along with progressively carrying out of whole transfer image acquisition sequence.The occupied zone of the component of second group of image can enlarge, and the occupied zone of the component of first group of image then can dwindle.For example, with reference to Figure 10, if image 51 is regarded as image in first group, image 55 is regarded as image in second group, so, the transfer image acquisition group comprises image 52,53,54, and, second portion 52a, 53a, 54a are the parts of second group of image 55, and the 52b of first, 53b, 54b are the parts of first group of image 51.In Figure 11, also be like this image 71-75 and regional 72a, 73a, 74a and regional 72b, 73b, the 74b among image 61-65 and regional 62a, 63a, 64a and regional 62b, 63b, 64b and Figure 12.Note that from the zone of first and second groups of images not overlapping.Although it shall yet further be noted that each zone all is corresponding parts (that is to say that second area 52a is from the part of same position of having of second image 55 and size) of image, might not be like this.Especially, the not necessarily continuous part (although can be continuous part) of the part of from first and second groups of images, selecting.For example, second area 52a can capable by horizontal image (as seen in Fig.) constitutes, and these horizontal images are capable of the discrete location in second image 55 (for example, in the image 55 every the third lines of two row).

Should also be noted that, in order to obtain good optical transition, with regard to static and depth image, preferably select image copy in first and second image sets in order to form transition group image, with regard to motion sequence, then preferably a series of mutually relevant in time images of above-mentioned transfer image acquisition and be that locating to sample draws for beginning or end (or both) at this motion sequence.These images can be from motion sequence self, also can be draw in the sampling of the beginning or end place of this motion sequence or extrapolation come out.

Below explanation forms the method for transfer image acquisition group under rest image and motion sequence situation.After both of these case has been described, how to make up other dissimilar transition group image as can be seen.

At first with reference to Figure 13, it shows the method that is used to form the transition group between two rest images (row 81).First copying image is become ternary image (row 82).In the same way second copying image is become ternary image (row 83).Then, use one group of mask 84 of the transition mode described in the left Figure 12 that represents in the example by Figure 13 to form transfer image acquisition, used the new images of choosing for this purpose at this.At last, successively each mask shown in the row 84 is added in the copy of image in first group and second group,, thereby has formed a complete image sets 85 so that obtain two transition groups between the image.

When using the lenticular images sequence (row 91 and row 92) of two motions, the most handy second method (seeing Figure 14).In order to form the transition group, must be in the ending of first motion sequence (row 93) and at initial several images (row 93 and row 94) of selecting of second motion sequence (row 94).Image in the row 93 can be regarded as first group of image, regard the image in the row 94 as second group of image.Note that as shown in figure 14 the image of same column aligns with vertical mode in the image sets." row " herein are meant shown in the row 93,94 position of each image in first group or the second group of sequence.A kind of alternative method of this method is to calculate the additional images that several are used for each motion sequence to other image sampling or with extrapolation method before or after this motion sequence.As long as the activity of motion sequence is still continuing in the described sequence, then elect the image that forms the transition group and can be any one or their combination in any in the above-mentioned image.For each transition group, generally between one to 20, this depends on based on the sum of the usable image of biconvex lens spacing and printing machine resolution and such as the other factorses such as predetermined smoothness of selecting transition the quantity of image.The selected digital image that is used for forming transition is grouped together by predetermined transfer image acquisition mask 95.With regard to the example of Figure 14, the pattern of its transition mask is the pattern described in Figure 12.At last, mask sequence 95 is added in first and second group 93,94 same column image, to form first and second image sequences that have the transition group therebetween shown in complete image group 96.

Then, the image of first and second groups and transition group is alternately arranged in known mode, thus the printed images that forms a printable lenticular images and align with corresponding bi-convex lens sheet.The result is when lens tilted certain angle, can see through the position of lens between first and second image sets and see the transition group.In other method of above and this paper, the most handy warp that the image that is the data image signal form is handled the suitably microprocessor of programming carries out all Flame Image Process.In the lenticular images technology, it is known carrying out this alternate treatment with computing machine.Should also be noted that, although the above alternate treatment step is illustrated as after having formed transition group image carried out, but also can even carry out (under latter event, can use from the image line in first group and the second group of image and form the transition group) in forming the transition group before this.

Another kind of transition is when relating to needed type must be with the single motion image sequence of certain circulation pattern broadcast the time.When having arrived last image, so (Fig. 3) plays like that first image of motion sequence immediately as previously mentioned.But, at this moment a transition can appear, so that the observer is understood: this is that the new sequence of same sequence has begun heavily again in this case.As shown in figure 15, in order outside single image sequence (row 101), to form this transition group, can or select several auxiliary images simultaneously at two in the initial of motion sequence or ending (being respectively row 102 and row 103).In each group in this two picture groups sheet, the quantity of picture is the quantity of transfer image acquisition and generally comprises one to 20 image that this depends on the sum of usable image and the required smoothness of described transition.In the example of Figure 15, two groups of images had been selected already by three image constructions in initial (row 103) of motion sequence or ending (row 102).

In addition, in Figure 15, the image selected at section start belongs to the original motion sequence, then is added in the original series some additional images of sampling extraction from original graph image source (as video tape) or with some extrapolated new images of numerical approach in the end.Then, according to predetermined transition mask pattern will select already be positioned at motion sequence initial (row 103) and image that end up (row 102) located is grouped together.In Figure 15, the pattern of transition mask is shown in Figure 12 the sort of.Described transfer image acquisition can be located or come across in the motion sequence at two ends in initial (entire motion sequence 106) and ending (entire motion sequence 105), and perhaps, motion sequence (entire motion sequence 109) is rebuild in the transition at available middle place.This is that each row of first image of any one complete sequence 106-109 of supposition all is positioned at the row of first below the biconvex lens (certainly, should be realized that the remaining image in these sequences is placed on the following of each biconvex lens according to the order shown in these sequences).But, preferably in an identical manner the transfer image acquisition sequence is divided into two subclass, one is positioned at section start, and another is positioned at ending place, makes the observer can see the major part with the perpendicular motion sequence of its axis of vision.

Should be noted that above-mentioned first or second area at least one can have the form of real-world objects or have form (this view can be or not be the object of real world) from the view of the scene unit in first or second group of image.When described zone was view from the scene unit of one of above-mentioned image sets, this zone can be the same view shown in the image in the image sets or can be the different view different views of an object in this scene (promptly from) as described.Figure 16 has illustrated this notion.In Figure 16, represent first zone in the transition group image 132,134,136 with label 126a to 126d, second zone then is regional 132a, 134a, 136a and 138a.Each zone of 126a to 126d all has the form (other scene unit is people 122,124 and balloon 125) of the scene unit of the clock 126 in first image 120, and second zone then is the remainder of transition group image.Regional 126a to 126d the transfer image acquisition from 132 to 138 is a part that progressively enlarges and comprise image 120 dimensionally, and regional 132a, 134a, 136a, 138a then comprise the respective image part from second image 140.

Concrete already reference most preferred embodiment of the present invention describes the present invention in detail, still, should be realized that, can realize distortion and improved form within the spirit and scope of the present invention.
