Definitions

  • This invention relates to an improved imaging system, preferably implemented with or using a multi-layer or multi-screen display.
  • the present invention may employ at least one light channelling element to provide an observer of the system with a perception of depth within a displayed image.
  • the viewer uses a binocular depth cue to calculate the range of an object within a scene through the displaced viewing angle provided by each of the viewers' eyes.
  • the binocular cues provided for objects on a front layer or screen will differ to those given by an object on a rear screen, thereby giving the viewer an indication of depth for each of the objects presented.
  • these multi-screen displays also exhibit intrinsic motion parallax, where through a viewer changing their viewing angle, there are also appropriate changes in the image they view to again replicate a three dimensional perception of the image.
  • an improved imaging system which includes,
  • At least one channelling element positioned in front of at least one of said plurality of display screens
  • the said at least one channelling element is adapted to provide a viewer of the imaging system with at least one additional binocular depth cue.
  • an improved imaging system substantially as described above wherein a channelling element is provided by at least one lenticular lens.
  • the present invention is adapted to provide an improved imaging system, preferably which affords a level of depth perception to images presented to a viewer.
  • an imaging system may preferably be incorporated within or include a multi-screen display system where objects within an image can be placed on a variety of depth separated screens.
  • a display screen as used in conjunction with the present invention may be formed from any component, system or technology which can be used to control and subsequently display an image to an observer.
  • display screens may be implemented using technology which has a transparent substrate or backing system so that nests or arrays of display screens may collected, together displaced from one another, and orientated parallel to one another, to provide or implement an imaging system.
  • display screens may be driven through electrical control and data signals to in turn control and change the images presented on such display screens to an observer of the imaging system.
  • the display screens employed may be provided by liquid crystal displays.
  • active matrix liquid crystal displays using thin film transistors may be employed as display screens.
  • Pre-attentive target detection was tested by determining whether a target element was present or absent within a field of background distractor elements.
  • Boundary detection involves attempting to detect the boundary formed by a group of target elements with a unique visual feature set within distractors. It maybe readily visualised for example that a red circle would be immediately discernible set amongst a number of blue circles. Equally, a circle would be readily detectable if set amongst a number of square shaped distractors.
  • the search time required to identify the targets remains constant, irrespective of the number of distractors, the search is said to be pre-attentive. Similar search time limitations are used to classify boundary detection searches as pre-attentive.
  • a widespread threshold time used to classify pre-attentiveness is 200-250 msec as this only allows the user opportunity for a single 'look' at a scene. This timef rame is insufficient for a human to consciously decide to look at a different portion of the scene. Search tasks such as those stated above maybe accomplished in less than 200 msec, thus suggesting that the information in the display is being processed in parallel unattendedly or pre-attentively.
  • the target is composed of a conjunction of unique features, i.e. a conjoin search
  • research shows that these may not be detected pre- attentively.
  • a target is comprised for example, of a red circle set within distractors including blue circles and red squares, it is not possible to detect the red circle pre-attentively as all the distractors include one of the two unique features of the target.
  • Enns and Rensink [1990] identified that targets given the appearance of being three dimensional objects can also be detected pre-attentively.
  • a target represented by a perspective view of a cube shaded to indicate illumination from above would be pre-attentively detectable amongst a plurality of distractor cubes shaded to imply illumination from a different direction.
  • the constituent elements of the above described cubes are reorientated to remove the apparent three dimensionality, subjects cannot pre- attentively detect targets which have been inverted for example.
  • Results showed the response time for SC and SM trials were constant and below the 250 msec threshold regardless of the number of distractors.
  • the trials involved conjoin as the target did not possess a feature unique to all the distractors.
  • the observers were able to search each plane pre-attentively in turn without interference from distractors in another plane.
  • This research was further reinforced by Melton and Scharff [1998] in a series of experiments in which a search task consisting of locating an intermediate-sized target amongst large and small distractors tested the serial nature of the search whereby the target was embedded in the same plane as the distractors and the pre-attentive nature of the search whereby the target was placed in a separate depth plane to the distractors.
  • Liquid Crystal Displays used in computer monitors, passive matrix and active matrix.
  • Passive-matrix Liquid Crystal Displays use a simple grid to supply electrical charge to a particular pixel on the display.
  • the grids made from a transparent conductive material (usually indium tin oxide), are formed using two glass layers called substrates, one provided with columns, the other with rows.
  • the rows or columns are connected to integrated circuits that control when a charge is applied to a particular column or row.
  • the liquid crystal material is sandwiched between the two glass substrates, and a polarising film is added to the outer side of each substrate.
  • a pixel is defined as the smallest resolvable area of an image, either on a screen or stored in memory.
  • Each pixel in a monochrome image has its own brightness, from 0 for black to the maximum value (e.g. 255 for an eight-bit pixel) for white.
  • each pixel has its own brightness and colour, usually represented as a combination of red, green and blue intensities.
  • the integrated circuit applies a charge to the relevant column of one substrate whilst grounding the corresponding row on the other substrate.
  • the voltage applied to the intersection of the relevant row and column designating the pixel untwists the liquid crystals at that pixel.
  • the passive matrix system has significant drawbacks, notably slow response time and imprecise voltage control.
  • Response time refers to the Liquid Crystal Displays ability to refresh the image displayed.
  • Imprecise voltage control hinders the passive matrix's ability to influence a single pixel at a time. When voltage is applied to untwist one pixel, the pixels around it also partially untwist, which makes images appear fuzzy and lacking in contrast.
  • Active-matrix Liquid Crystal Displays depend on thin film transistors (TFT). Thin film transistors are tiny switching transistors and capacitors arranged in a matrix on a glass substrate. To address a particular pixel, the appropriate row is switched on, and then a charge is sent down the correct column. Since all of the other rows that the column intersects are turned off, only the capacitor at the designated pixel receives a charge. The capacitor is able to hold the charge until the next refresh cycle. Furthermore, if the amount of voltage supplied to the crystal is carefully controlled, it can be made to untwist only enough to allow some light through. By doing this in very exact, very small increments, Liquid Crystal Displays can create a grey scale. Most displays today offer 256 levels of brightness per pixel.
  • a Liquid Crystal Display that can show colours must have three subpixels with red, green and blue colour filters to create each colour pixel. Through the careful control and variation of the voltage applied, the intensity of each subpixel can range over 256 shades. Combining the subpixels produces a possible palette of 16.8 million colours (256 shades of red x 256 shades of green x 256 shades of blue).
  • Liquid Crystal Displays employ several variations of liquid crystal technology, including super twisted nematics, dual scan twisted nematics, ferroelectric liquid crystal and surface stabilized ferroelectric liquid crystal. There are also emissive technologies such as Organic Light Emitting Diodes which are addressed in the same manner as Liquid Crystal Displays.

  • a channelling element can be used to present varying images to each of an observer's eyes.
  • a channelling element as referred to throughout this specification may be defined as any component, element or apparatus which is adapted to modify or block the path of light emitted from or reflected by an object.
  • the channelling element used in accordance with preferred embodiments may be formed from refractive components or lenses, but in other instances may also consist of elements which simply act to block light from an image or object.
  • Such a channelling element or elements may give the viewer an additional binocular depth cue which the viewer uses to calculate the distance from the object displayed.
  • This binocular disparity provides a depth cue which can be used to vary the content displayed.
  • a channelling element or elements can be used to present varying images to each of the observer's eyes, giving the impression that an object is not actually displayed on one of the screens provided within the imaging system.
