Description

2D DIGITAL IMAGE CAPTURE SYSTEM AND SIMULATING 3D DIGITAL IMAGE

AND SEQUENCE

FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE

[0001] The present disclosure is directed to 2D image capture, image processing, and simulating display of a 3D or multi-dimensional image or image sequence.

BACKGROUND

[0002] The human visual system (HVS) relies on two dimensional images to interpret three dimensional fields of view. By utilizing the mechanisms with the HVS we create images/scenes that are compatible with the HVS.

[0003] Mismatches between the point at which the eyes must converge and the distance to which they must focus when viewing a 3D image have negative consequences. While 3D imagery has proven popular and useful for movies, digital advertising, many other applications may be utilized if viewers are enabled to view 3D images without wearing specialized glasses or a headset, which is a well-known problem. Misalignment in these systems results in jumping images, out of focus, or fuzzy features when viewing the digital multidimensional images. The viewing of these images can lead to headaches and nausea.

[0004] In natural viewing, images arrive at the eyes with varying binocular disparity, so that as viewers look from one point in the visual scene to another, they must adjust their eyes' vergence. The distance at which the lines of sight intersect is the vergence distance. Failure to converge at that distance results in double images. The viewer also adjusts the focal power of the lens in each eye (i.e., accommodates) appropriately for the fixated part of the scene. The distance to which the eye must be focused is the accommodative distance. Failure to accommodate to that distance results in blurred images. Vergence and accommodation responses are coupled in the brain, specifically, changes in vergence drive changes in accommodation and changes in accommodation drive changes in vergence. Such coupling is advantageous in natural viewing because vergence and accommodative distances are nearly always identical. [0005] In 3D images, images have varying binocular disparity thereby stimulating changes in vergence as happens in natural viewing. But the accommodative distance remains fixed at the display distance from the viewer, so the natural correlation between vergence and accommodative distance is disrupted, leading to the so-called vergence-accommodation conflict. The conflict causes several problems. Firstly, differing disparity and focus information cause perceptual depth distortions. Secondly, viewers experience difficulties in simultaneously fusing and focusing on key subject within the image. Finally, attempting to adjust vergence and accommodation separately causes visual discomfort and fatigue in viewers.

[0006] Perception of depth is based on a variety of cues, with binocular disparity and motion parallax generally providing more precise depth information than pictorial cues. Binocular disparity and motion parallax provide two independent quantitative cues for depth perception. Binocular disparity refers to the difference in position between the two retinal image projections of a point in 3D space.

[0007] Conventional stereoscopic displays forces viewers to try to decouple these processes, because while they must dynamically vary vergence angle to view objects at different stereoscopic distances, they must keep accommodation at a fixed distance or else the entire display will slip out of focus. This decoupling generates eye fatigue and compromises image quality when viewing such displays.

[0008] Recently, a subset of photographers is utilizing 1980s cameras such as NIMSLO and NASHIKA 3D 35mm analog film cameras or digital camera moved between a plurality of points to take multiple frames of a scene, develop the film of the multiple frames from the analog camera, upload images into image software, such as PHOTOSHOP, and arrange images to create a wiggle gram, moving GIF effect.

[0009] Therefore, it is readily apparent that there is a recognizable unmet need for a smart device having an integrated 2D digital image capture system, image manipulation application, & display of 3D digital images or image sequence that may be configured to address at least some aspects of the problems discussed above. SUMMARY

Briefly described, in an example embodiment, the present disclosure may overcome the above- mentioned disadvantages and may meet the recognized need for 2D image capture system and display of 3D digital image and 3D sequence a smart device having a memory device for storing an instruction, a processor in communication with the memory and configured to execute the instruction, a plurality of digital image capture devices in communication with the processor and each image capture device configured to capture a digital image of the scene, the plurality of digital image capture devices positioned linearly in series within approximately an interpupillary distance, wherein a first digital image capture devices is centered proximate a first end of the interpupillary distance, a second digital image capture devices is centered on a second end of the interpupillary distance, and any remaining the plurality of digital image capture devices are evenly spaced therebetween, processing steps to configure datasets, and a display configured to display a simulated multidimensional digital image sequence and/or a multidimensional digital image, storage of multidimensional digital image sequence and/or a multidimensional digital image via block chain, storage of audio files for playback while viewing the image file, storage of related verification documents authenticating image or audio file, transmission of stored files, block chain storage of such files, creation of non-fungible assets of such stored files, non-fungible token (NFT).

[0010] Accordingly, a feature of the system and methods of use is its ability to capture a plurality of images of a scene with 2D capture devices positioned approximately an intraocular or interpupillary distance width IPD apart (distance between pupils of human visual system).

[0011] Accordingly, a feature of the system and methods of use is its ability to convert input 2D source images into multi-dimensional/multi-spectral image sequence. The output image follows the rule of a “key subject point” maintained within an optimum parallax to maintain a clear and sharp image.

[0012] Accordingly, a feature of the system and methods of use is its ability to utilize existing viewing devices to display simulated multidimensional digital image sequence.

[0013] Accordingly, a feature of the system and methods of use is its ability of taking, viewing, and sending over the internet multidimensional digital image sequence. This self-contained system can be integrated into a smart phone, tablet or used with external devices. A series of 4 camera lens allow us to produce a special motion parallax image, DIGY, that can be viewed without a special screen. The system can be used in a fully automated mode or in manual for operator inter action with the scene.

[0014] Accordingly, a feature of the system and methods of use is the ability to integrate viewing devices or other viewing functionality into the display, such as barrier screen (black line), lenticular, arced, curved, trapezoid, parabolic, overlays, waveguides, black line and the like with an integrated LCD layer in an LED or OLED, LCD, OLED, and combinations thereof or other viewing devices.

[0015] Another feature of the digital multi-dimensional image platform based system and methods of use is the ability to produce digital multi-dimensional images that can be viewed on viewing screens, such as mobile and stationary phones, smart phones (including iPhone), tablets, computers, laptops, monitors and other displays and/or special output devices, directly without 3D glasses or a headset.

[0016] In an exemplary embodiment a system to simulate a 3D image sequence from a series of 2D images of a scene, the system includes a smart device having a memory device for storing an instruction, a processor in communication with said memory device configured to execute said instruction, a plurality of digital image capture devices in communication with said processor and each of said plurality image capture devices configured to capture a digital image of the scene, said plurality of digital image capture devices approximately positioned linearly in series within approximately an interpupillary distance width, wherein a first digital image capture devices is positioned proximate a first end of said interpupillary distance width, a second digital image capture devices is positioned proximate a second end of said interpupillary distance width, and any remaining said plurality of digital image capture devices are evenly spaced therebetween to capture a series of 2D images of the scene, a display in communication with said processor, said display configured to display said a multidimensional digital image sequence, and overlay an audio file on said multidimensional digital image sequence via an input on said display.

[0017] A feature of the present disclosure may include a system having a series of capture devices, such as two, three, four or more, such plurality of capture devices (digital image cameras) positioned in series linearly within an intraocular or interpupilary distance width, the distance between an average human’s pupils, the system captures and stores two, three, four or more, a plurality of 2D source images of a scene, the system labels and identifies the images based on the source capture device that captured the image.

[0018] A feature of the present disclosure may include a system having a display device configured from a stack of components, such as top glass cover, capacitive touch screen glass, polarizer, diffusers, and backlight. Moreover, an image source, such as LCD, such LED, ELED, PDP, QLED, and other types of display technologies. Furthermore, display device may include a lens array preferably positioned between capacitive touch screen glass and LCD panel stack of components, and configured to bend or refract light in a manner capable of displaying both a high quality 2D image and an interlaced stereo pair of left and right images as 3D or multidimensional digital image of scene.

[0019] A feature of the present disclosure is the ability to overcome the above defects via another important parameter to determine the convergence point or key subject point, since the viewing of an image that has not been aligned to a key subject point causes confusion to the human visual system and results in blur and double images.

[0020] A feature of the present disclosure is the ability to select the convergence point or key subject point anywhere between near or close plane and far or back plane, manual mode user selection.

[0021] A feature of the present disclosure is the ability to overcome the above defects via another important parameter to determine Circle of Comfort (CoC), since the viewing of an image that has not been aligned to the Circle of Comfort (CoC) causes confusion to the human visual system and results in blur and double images.

[0022] A feature of the present disclosure is the ability to overcome the above defects via another important parameter to determine Circle of Comfort (CoC) fused with Horopter arc or points and Panum area, since the viewing of an image that has not been aligned to the Circle of Comfort (CoC) fused with Horopter arc or points and Panum area causes confusion to the human visual system and results in blur and double images.

[0023] A feature of the present disclosure is the ability to overcome the above defects via another important parameter to determine gray scale depth map, the system interpolates intermediate points based on the assigned points (closest point, key subject point, and furthest point) in a scene, the system assigns values to those intermediate points and renders the sum to a gray scale depth map. The gray scale map to generate volumetric parallax using values assigned to the different points (closest point, key subject point, and furthest point) in a scene. This modality also allows volumetric parallax or rounding to be assigned to singular objects within a scene.

[0024] A feature of the present disclosure is its ability to measure depth or z-axis of objects or elements of objects and/or make comparisons based on known sizes of objects in a scene.

[0025] A feature of the present disclosure is its ability to utilize a key subject algorithm to manually or automatically select the key subject in a plurality of images of a scene displayed on a display and produce multidimensional digital image sequence for viewing on a display.

[0026] A feature of the present disclosure is its ability to utilize an image alignment, horizontal image translation, or edit algorithm to manually or automatically align the plurality of images of a scene about a key subject for display.

[0027] A feature of the feature of the present disclosure is its ability to utilize an image translation algorithm to align the key subject point of two images of a scene for display.

[0028] A feature of the feature of the present disclosure is its ability to generate DIFYS (Differential Image Format) is a specific technique for obtaining multi-view of a scene and creating a series of image that creates depth without glasses or any other viewing aides. The system utilizes horizontal image translation along with a form of motion parallax to create 3D viewing. DIFYS are created by having different view of a single scene flipped by the observer’s eyes. The views are captured by motion of the image capture system or by multiple cameras taking a scene with each of the cameras within the array viewing at a different position.

[0029] In accordance with a first aspect of the present disclosure of simulating a 3D image sequence from a sequence of 2D image frames, may be utilized to capture(ing) a plurality of 2D image frames (images) of a scene from a plurality of different observation points, wherein a first proximal plane and a second distal plane is identified within each image frame in the sequence, and wherein each observation point maintains substantially the same first proximal image plane for each image frame; determining a depth estimate for the first proximal and second distal plane within each image frame in the sequence, aligning the first proximal plane of each image frame in the sequence and shifting the second distal plane of each subsequent image frame in the sequence based on the depth estimate of the second distal plane for each image frame, to produce a modified image frame corresponding to each 2D image frame and displaying the modified image frames sequentially.

[0030] The present disclosure varies the focus of objects at different planes in a displayed scene to match vergence and stereoscopic retinal disparity demands to better simulate natural viewing conditions. By adjusting the focus of key objects in a scene to match their stereoscopic retinal disparity, the cues to ocular accommodation and vergence are brought into agreement. As in natural vision, the viewer brings different obj ects into focus by shifting accommodation. As the mismatch between accommodation and vergence is decreased, natural viewing conditions are better simulated, and eye fatigue is decreased.

[0031] The present disclosure may be utilized to determine three or more planes for each image frame in the sequence.

[0032] Furthermore, it is preferred that the planes have different depth estimates.

[0033] In addition, it is preferred that each respective plane is shifted based on the difference between the depth estimate of the respective plane and the first proximal plane.

[0034] Preferably, the first, proximal plane of each modified image frame is aligned such that the first proximal plane is positioned at the same pixel space.

[0035] It is also preferred that the first plane comprises a key subject point.

[0036] Preferably, the planes comprise at least one foreground plane.

[0037] In addition, it is preferred that the planes comprise at least one background plane.

[0038] Preferably, the sequential observation points lie on a straight line.

[0039] In accordance with a second aspect of the present invention there is a non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing instructions, the instructions when executed by a processor causing the processor to perform the method according to the second aspect of the present invention.

[0040] These and other features of the smart device having 2D digital image capture system, image manipulation application, & display of 3D digital image or image sequence will become more apparent to one skilled in the art from the prior Summary and following Brief Description of the Drawings, Detailed Description of exemplary embodiments thereof, and claims when read in light of the accompanying Drawings or Figures.

[0082] It is to be noted that the drawings presented are intended solely for the purpose of illustration and that they are, therefore, neither desired nor intended to limit the disclosure to any or all of the exact details of construction shown, except insofar as they may be deemed essential to the claimed disclosure.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0083] In describing the exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure, as illustrated in figures specific terminology is employed for the sake of clarity. The present disclosure, however, is not intended to be limited to the specific terminology so selected, and it is to be understood that each specific element includes all technical equivalents that operate in a similar manner to accomplish similar functions. The claimed invention may, however, be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed to be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. The examples set forth herein are non-limiting examples and are merely examples among other possible examples.

[0084] Perception of depth is based on a variety of cues, with binocular disparity and motion parallax generally providing more precise depth information than pictorial cues. Binocular disparity and motion parallax provide two independent quantitative cues for depth perception. Binocular disparity refers to the difference in position between the two retinal image projections of a point in 3D space. As illustrated in FIGs. 1A and IB, the robust precepts of depth that are obtained when viewing an object 102 in an image scene 110 demonstrates that the brain can compute depth from binocular disparity cues alone. In binocular vision, the Horopter 112 is the locus of points in space that have the same disparity as the fixation point 114. Objects lying on a horizontal line passing through the fixation point 114 results in a single image, while objects a reasonable distance from this line result in two images 116, 118.

[0085] Classical motion parallax is dependent upon two eye functions. One is the tracking of the eye to the motion (eyeball moves to fix motion on a single spot) and the second is smooth motion difference leading to parallax or binocular disparity. Classical motion parallax is when the observer is stationary and the scene around the observer is translating or the opposite where the scene is stationary, and the observer translates across the scene.

[0086] By using two images 116, 118 of the same object 102 obtained from slightly different angles, it is possible to triangulate the distance to the object 102 with a high degree of accuracy. Each eye views a slightly different angle of the object 102 seen by the left eye 104 and right eye 106. This happens because of the horizontal separation parallax of the eyes. If an object is far away, the disparity 108 of that image 110 falling on both retinas will be small. If the object is close or near, the disparity 108 of that image 110 falling on both retinas will be large.

[0087] Motion parallax 120 refers to the relative image motion (between objects at different depths) that results from translation of the observer 104. Isolated from binocular and pictorial depth cues, motion parallax 120 can also provide precise depth perception, provided that it is accompanied by ancillary signals that specify the change in eye orientation relative to the visual scene 110. As illustrated, as eye orientation 104 changes, the apparent relative motion of the object 102 against a background gives hints about its relative distance. If the object 102 is far away, the object 102 appears stationary. If the object 102 is close or near, the object 102 appears to move more quickly.

[0088] In order to see the object 102 in close proximity and fuse the image on both retinas into one object, the optical axes of both eyes 104, 106 converge on the object 102. The muscular action changing the focal length of the eye lens so as to place a focused image on the fovea of the retina is called accommodation. Both the muscular action and the lack of focus of adjacent depths provide additional information to the brain that can be used to sense depth. Image sharpness is an ambiguous depth cue. However, by changing the focused plane (looking closer and / or further than the object 102), the ambiguities are resolved.

[0089] FIGs. 2A and 2B show the anatomy of the eye 200 and a graphical representation of the distribution of rods and cones, respectively. The fovea 202 is responsible for sharp central vision (also referred to as foveal vision), which is necessary where visual detail is of primary importance. The fovea 202 is the depression in the inner retinal surface 205, about 1.5 mm wide and is made up entirely of cones 204 specialized for maximum visual acuity. Rods 206 are low intensity receptors that receive information in grey scale and are important to peripheral vision, while cones 204 are high intensity receptors that receive information in color vision. The importance of the fovea 202 will be understood more clearly with reference to Figure 2B, which shows the distribution of cones 204 and rods 206 in the eye 200. As shown, a large proportion of cones 204, providing the highest visual acuity, lie within a 1 S angle around the center of the fovea 202

[0090] The importance of the fovea 202 will be understood more clearly with reference to FIG. 2B, which shows the distribution of cones 204 and rods 206 in the eye 200. As shown, a large proportion of cones 204, providing the highest visual acuity, lie within a 1.5° angle around the center of the fovea 202.

[0091] FIG. 3 illustrates a typical field of view 300 of the human visual system (HVS). As shown, the fovea 202 sees only the central IS (degrees) of the visual field 302, with the preferred field of view 304 lying within ± 15 (degrees) of the center of the fovea 202. Focusing an object on the fovea, therefore, depends on the linear size of the object 102, the viewing angle and the viewing distance. A large object 102 viewed in close proximity will have a large viewing angle falling outside the foveal vision, while a small object 102 viewed at a distance will have a small viewing angle falling within the foveal vision. An object 102 that falls within the foveal vision will be produced in the mind’s eye with high visual acuity. However, under natural viewing conditions, viewers do not just passively perceive. Instead, they dynamically scan the visual scene 110 by shifting their eye fixation and focus between objects at different viewing distances. In doing so, the oculomotor processes of accommodation and vergence (the angle between lines of sight of the left eye 104 and right eye 106) must be shifted synchronously to place new objects in sharp focus in the center of each retina. Accordingly, nature has reflexively linked accommodation and vergence, such that a change in one process automatically drives a matching change in the other.

[0092] FIG. 4A illustrates a typical view of a scene S to be captured by a camera or digital image capture device, such as image capture module 830. Scene S may include four planes defined as: (1) Lens frame is defined as the plane passing through the lens or sensor (image capture module 830) in the recording device or camera, (2) Key Subject plane KSP may be the plane passing through the focal point of the sensor in the scene (here couple in the scene, the Key Subject KS of the scene S), (3) Near Plane NP may be the plane passing through the closest point in focus to the lens plane (the bush B in the foreground), and (4) Far Plane FP which is the plane passing through the furthest point in focus (tree T in the background). The relative distances from image capture module 830 are denoted by N, Ks, B. Depth of field of the scene S is defined by the distance between Near Plane NP and Far Plane FP.

[0093] As described above, the sense of depth of a stereoscopic image varies depending on the distance between the camera and the key subject, known as the image capturing distance or KS. The sense of depth is also controlled by the vergence angle and the intraocular distance between the capture of each successive image by the camera which effects binocular disparity.

[0094] In photography the Circle of Confusion defines the area of a scene S that is captured in focus. Thus, the near plane NP, key subject plane KSP and the far plane FP are in focus. Areas outside this circle are blurred.

[0095] FIG. 4B illustrates a typical view of a scene S to be captured by a camera or digital image capture device, such as image capture module 830, more specifically image capture module 830 shown in FIG. 8G. Two image capture devices 831 and 832, or any other selected pair 831, 832, 833, 834 may be utilized to capture plurality of digital images of scene S as left image 810L and right image 81 OR of scene S, shown in FIG. 8 A (plurality of digital images). Alternatively, computer system 10 via image manipulation application and display 208 may be configured to enable user U to select or identify two image capture devices of image capture devices 831 (1), 832 (2), 833 (3), or 834 (4) to capture two digital images of scene S as left image 810L and right image 810R of scene S. User U may tap or other identification interaction with selection box 812 to select or identify key subject KS in the source images, left image 810L and right image 81 OR of scene S, as shown in FIG. 4B

[0096] FIG. 5 illustrates a Circle of Comfort (CoC) in scale with FIGs. 4.1 and 3.1. Defining the Circle of Comfort (CoC) as the circle formed by passing the diameter of the circle along the perpendicular to Key Subject plane KSP (in scale with FIG. 4) with a width determined by the 30 degree radials of FIG. 3) from the center point on the lens plane, image capture module 830. (R is the radius of Circle of Comfort (CoC).)

[0097] Conventional stereoscopic displays forces viewers to try to decouple these processes, because while they must dynamically vary vergence angle to view objects at different stereoscopic distances, they must keep accommodation at a fixed distance or else the entire display will slip out of focus. This decoupling generates eye fatigue and compromises image quality when viewing such displays.

[0098] In order to understand the present disclosure certain variables, need to be defined. The object field is the entire image being composed. The “key subject point” is defined as the point where the scene converges, i.e., the point in the depth of field that always remains in focus and has no parallax differential in the key subject point. The foreground and background points are the closest point and furthest point from the viewer, respectively. The depth of field is the depth or distance created within the object field (depicted distance from foreground to background). The principal axis is the line perpendicular to the scene passing through the key subject point. The parallax or binocular disparity is the difference in the position of any point in the first and last image after the key subject alignment. In digital composition, the key subject point displacement from the principal axis between frames is always maintained as a whole integer number of pixels from the principal axis. The total parallax is the summation of the absolute value of the displacement of the key subject point from the principal axis in the closest frame and the absolute value of the displacement of the key subject point from the principal axis in the furthest frame. [0099] When capturing images herein, applicant refers refer to depth of field or circle of confusion and circle of comfort is referred to when viewing image on the viewing device.

[00100] US patent 9,992,473, US patent 10,033,990, and US patent 10,178,247 are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.

[00101] Creating depth perception using motion parallax is known. However, in order to maximize depth while maintaining a pleasing viewing experience, a systematic approach is introduced. The system combines factors of the human visual system with image capture procedures to produce a realistic depth experience on any 2D viewing device.

[00102] The technique introduces the Circle of Comfort (CoC) that prescribe the location of the image capture system relative to the scene S. The Circle of Comfort (CoC) relative to the Key Subject KS (point of convergence, focal point) sets the optimum near plane NP and far plane FP, i.e., controls the parallax of the scene S.

[00103] The system was developed so any capture device such as iPhone, camera or video camera can be used to capture the scene. Similarly, the captured images can be combined and viewed on any digital output device such as smart phone, tablet, monitor, TV, laptop, or computer screen.

This measurement is different from person to person and also depends on whether they are looking at near objects or far away. Plmay be represented by first end IPD.l of interpupillary distance width IPD and PS may be represented by second end IPD.2 of interpupillary distance width IPD. Interpupillary distance width IPD is preferably the distance between an average human’s pupils may have a distance between approximately two and a half inches, 2.5 inches (6.35 cm), more preferably between approximately 40-80 mm, the vast majority of adults have IPDs in the range 50-75 mm, the wider range of 45-80 mm is likely to include (almost) all adults, and the minimum IPD for children (down to five years old) is around 40 mm).

[00148] It is contemplated herein that left and right images may be produce as set forth in FIGs. 6.1-6.3 from US patent 9,992,473, US patent 10,033,990, and US patent 10,178,247 and electrically communicated to left pixel 550L and right pixel 550R. Moreover, 2D image may be electrically communicated to center pixel 550C.

[00149] Referring now to FIG. 10, there is illustrated by way of example, and not limitation a representative illustration of Circle of Comfort (CoC) in scale with FIG. 4 and 3. For the defined plane, the image captured on the lens plane will be comfortable and compatible with human visual system of user U viewing the final image displayed on display 628 if a substantial portion of the image(s) are captured within the Circle of Comfort (CoC). Any object, such as near plane N, key subject plane KSP, and far plane FP captured by two image capture devices, such as image capture devices 831-833 or image capture devices 831-834 (interpupillary distance IPD) within the Circle of Comfort (CoC) will be in focus to the viewer when reproduced as digital multi-dimensional image sequence viewable on display 628. The back-object plane or far plane FP may be defined as the distance to the intersection of the 15 degree radial line to the perpendicular in the field of view to the 30 degree line or R the radius of the Circle of Comfort (CoC). Moreover, defining the Circle of Comfort (CoC) as the circle formed by passing the diameter of the circle along the perpendicular to Key Subject KS plane (KSP) with a width determined by the 30 degree radials from the center point on the lens plane, image capture module 830. [00150] Linear positioning or spacing of image capture devices, such as digital image capture devices 831-833, or digital image capture devices 831-834 (interpupillary distance IPD) on lens plane within the 30 degree line just tangent to the Circle of Comfort (CoC) may be utilized to create motion parallax between the plurality of images when viewing digital multi-dimensional image sequence viewable on display 628, will be comfortable and compatible with human visual system of user U.

[00151] Referring now to FIG. 10A, 10B, IOC, and 11, there is illustrated by way of example, and not limitation right triangles derived from FIG. 10. All the definitions are based on holding right triangles within the relationship of the scene to image capture. Thus, knowing the key subject KS distance (convergence point) we can calculate the following parameters.

[00152] FIG. 6A to calculate the radius R of Comfort (CoC).

[00153] R/KS = tan 30 degree

[00154] R = KS*tan 30 degree

[00155] FIG. 6B to calculate the optimum distance between image capture devices, such as image capture devices 831-833, or image capture devices 831-834 (interpupillary distance IPD).

[00156] TR/KS = tan 15 degree

[00157] TR = KS* tan 15 degree; and IPD is 2*TR

[00158] FIG. 6C calculate the optimum far plane FP

[00159] Tan 15 degree = R/B

[00160] B = (KS * tan 30 degree)/tan 15 degree

[00161] Ratio of near plane NP to far plane FP = ((KS/ (KS 8 tan 30 degree))*tan 15 degree

[00162] In order to understand the meaning of TR, point on the linear image capture line of the lens plane that the 15 degree line hits/touches the Comfort (CoC). The images are arranged so the key subject KS point is the same in all images captured via plurality of images from image capture devices, such as digital image capture devices 831-833, or digital image capture devices 831-834.

[00163] A user of image capture devices, such as digital image capture devices 831-833, or digital image capture devices 831-834 composes the scene S and moves the digital image capture devices 830 in our case so the circle of confusion conveys the scene S. Since digital image capture devices 830 are using multi cameras linearly spaced there is a binocular disparity between the plurality of images or frames captured by linear offset of digital image capture devices 830, such as digital image capture devices 831-833, or digital image capture devices 831-834. This disparity can be change by changing digital image capture devices 830 settings or moving the key subject KS back or away from digital image capture devices to lessen the disparity or moving the key subject KS closer to digital image capture devices to increase the disparity. Our system is a fixed digital image capture devices system and as a guideline, experimentally developed, the near plane NP should be no closer than approximately six feet from digital image capture devices 830.

Still furthermore, user U may specify or select order of playback of digital image(s) sequences for playback or palindrome sequence 1306 to set the order of display of images(n) of the plurality of 2D image(s) 1000 of scene S captured by capture devices 831-834 (n devices), 830 (n devices). The timed sequence showing of the images produces the appropriate binocular disparity through the motion pursuit ratio effect. It is contemplated herein that computer system 10 and application program(s) 624 may utilize default or automatic setting herein.

[00171] Referring now to FIG. 16B, there is illustrated by way of example, and not limitation, touch screen display 628 enabling user U to select photography options of computer system 10 (3D Stereo). In block or step 1215, utilizing computer system 10, display 628, and application program(s) 624 (via image capture application) settings to align(ing) or position(ing) an icon, such as cross hair 1310 on key subject KS of a scene S displayed thereon display 628, for example by touching or dragging image of scene S or pointing computer system 10 in a different direction to align cross hair 1310, on key subject KS of a scene S. In block or step 1215, obtaining or capturing images(n) of scene S from image capture devices 831-834 (n devices) focused on selected depths in an image or scene (depth) of scene S. User U may tap or other identification interaction with selection box 1312 to select or identify key subject KS in the source images, left image 1102L and right image 1103R of scene S, selected from images(n) 1101, 1102, 1103, 1104 (set of frames 1100) of scene S from image capture devices 831-834 (n devices), or any combination of two images from images(n) 1101, 1102, 1103, 1104 (set of frames 1100) . Moreover, computer system 10 via image manipulation application and display 624 may be configured to enable user U to select or identify images of scene S as left image 1102 and right image 1103 of scene S. User U may tap or other identification interaction with selection box 812 to select or identify key subject KS in the source images, left image 1102 and right image 1103 of scene S, as shown in FIG. 16B.

[00172] Alternatively, in block or step 1215, user U may utilize computer system 10, display 628, and application program(s) 624 to input plurality of images, files, and dataset (Dataset) of scene S, such as via AirDrop, DROP BOX, or other application.

[00173] It is recognized herein that step 1215, computer system 10 via image capture application 624, image manipulation application 624, image display application 624 may be performed utilizing distinct and separately located computer systemslO, such as one or more user systems 720 first smart device, 722 second smart device, 724 smart device (smart devices) and application program(s) 624. For example, using a camera system remote from image manipulation system, and remote from image viewing system, step 1215 may be performed proximate scene S via computer system 10 (first processor) and application program(s) 624communicating between user systems 720, 722, 724 and application program(s) 624. Here, camera system may be positioned or stationed to capture segments of different viewpoints of an event or entertainment, such as scene S. Next, via communications link 740 and/or network 750, or 5G computer systems 10 and application program(s) 624 via more user systems 720, 722, 724 may capture and transmit a plurality of digital images of scene S as digital multi-dimensional image sequence (DIFY) of scene S sets of images(n) of scene S from capture devices 831-834 (n devices) relative to key subject KS point.

[00174] Images captured at or near interpupillary distance IPD matches the human visual system, which simplifies the math, minimizes cross talk between the two images, reduces fuzziness and image movement to produce digital multi-dimensional image sequence (DIFY) viewable on display 628.

[00175] Additionally, in block or step 1215, utilizing computer system 10, display 628, and application program(s) 624 (via dataset capture application) settings to align(ing) or position(ing) an icon, such as cross hair 1310, of FIGs. 13 or 16B, on key subject KS of a scene S displayed thereon display 628, for example by touching or dragging dataset of scene S, or touching and dragging key subject KS, or pointing computer system 10 in a different direction to align cross hair 1310, of FIGs. 13, or 16B, on key subject KS of a scene S. In block or step 1215, obtaining or capturing plurality images, files, and dataset (Dataset) of scene S from plurality of capture device(s) 830 (n devices) focused on selected depths in an image or scene (depth) of scene S.

[00176] Moreover, in block or step 1215, integrating I/O devices 632 with computer system 10, I/O devices 632 may include one or more sensors 852 in communication with computer system 10 to measure distance between computer system 10/ capture device(s) 830 (n devices) and selected depths in scene S (depth) such as Key Subject KS and set the focal point of an arc or trajectory of vehicle 400 and capture device(s) 830. It is contemplated herein that computer system 10, display 628, and application program(s) 624, may operate in auto mode wherein one or more sensors 840 may measure the distance between capture device(s) 830 and selected depths in scene S (depth) such as Key Subject KS. Alternatively, in manual mode, a user may determine the correct distance between user U and selected depths in scene S (depth) such as Key Subject KS. Or computer system 10, display 628 may utilize one or more sensors 852 to measure distance between capture device(s) 830 (n devices) and selected depths in scene S (depth) such as Key Subject KS and provide on screen instructions or message (distance preference) to instruct user U to move capture device(s) 830 (n devices) closer or father away from Key Subject KS or near plane NP to optimize capture device(s) 830 (n devices) and images, files, and dataset (Dataset) of scene S.

[00177] In block or step 1220, computer system 10 via image manipulation application 624 is configured to receive a plurality of images of scene S captured by digital image capture devices 831-834 (n devices), 830 (n devices) through an image acquisition application. The image acquisition application converts each image to a digital source image, such as a JPEG, GIF, TIF format. Ideally, each digital source image includes a number of visible objects, subjects or points therein, such as foreground or closest point associated with near plane NP, far plane FP or furthest point associated with a far plane FP, and key subject KS. The near plane NP, far plane FP point are the closest point and furthest point from the viewer (plurality of capture devices 831 and 832, 833, or 834, 830 (n devices)), respectively. The depth of field is the depth or distance created within the object field (depicted distance between foreground to background). The principal axis is the line perpendicular to the scene passing through the key subject KS point, while the parallax is the displacement of the key subject KS point from the principal axis, see FIG. 11. In digital composition the displacement is always maintained as a whole integer number of pixels from the principal axis. [00178] It is recognized herein that step 1220, computer system 10 via image capture application 624, image manipulation application 624, image display application 624 may be performed utilizing distinct and separately located computer systemslO, such as one or more user systems 720, 722, 724 and application program(s) 624. For example, using an image manipulation system remote from image capture system, and remote from image viewing system, step 1220 may be performed remote from scene S via computer system 10 (third processor) and application program(s) 624 communicating between user systems 720, 222, 224 and application program(s) 624. Next, via communications link 740 and/or network 750, or 5G computer systems 10 (third processor) and application program(s) 624 via more user systems 720, 722, 724 may receive sets of plurality of images(n) of scene S from capture devices 831-834 (n devices) relative to key subject KS point and transmit a manipulated plurality of digital multi-dimensional image sequence (DIFY or 3D stereo) of scene to computer system 10 (first processor) and application program(s) 624, step 1220 A.

[00179] In block or step 1220A, computer system 10 via automatic key subject selection algorithm or key subject application program(s) 624 is configured to identify a key subject KS in each source image, plurality of images of scene S captured by digital image capture devices 831- 834 (n devices). Moreover, computer system 10 via key subject, application program(s) 624 is configured to identify (ing) at least in part a pixel, set of pixels (finger point selection on display 628) in one or more plurality of images(n) of scene S from digital image capture devices 831-834 (n devices) as key subject KS, respectively. Moreover, computer system 10 via key subject application program(s) 624 is configured to align source image, plurality of images of scene S captured by digital image capture devices 831-834 (n devices) horizontally about key subject KS; (horizontal image translation (HIT) as shown in 11A and 11B with a distance key Subject KS within a Circle of Comfort relationship to optimize digital multi-dimensional image sequence 1010 for the human visual system.

[00180] Moreover, a key subject point is identified in the series of 2D images of the scene S, and each of the series of 2D images of the scene is aligned to key subject KS point, and all other points in the series of 2D images of the scene shift based on a spacing of the plurality of digital image capture devices to generate a modified sequence of 2D images. [00181] Key subject KS may be identified in each plurality of images of scene S captured by digital image capture devices 831-834 (n devices) corresponds to the same key subject KS of scene S as shown in FIG. 11 A, 1 IB, and 4. It is contemplated herein that a computer system 10, display 628, and application program(s) 624 may perform an algorithm or set of steps to automatically identify subject KS therein the plurality of images of scene S captured by digital image capture devices 831-834 (n devices). Alternatively, in block or step 1220A, utilizing computer system 10, (in manual mode- manual key subject selection algorithm), display 628, and application program(s) 624 settings to at least in part enable a user U to align(ing) or edit alignment of a pixel, set of pixels (finger point selection), key subject KS point of at least two images(n) of plurality of images of scene S captured by digital image capture devices 831-834 (n devices).

[00182] Source images, plurality of images of scene S captured by digital image capture devices 831-834 (n devices) of scene S are all obtained with digital image capture devices 831-834 (n devices) with the same image capture distance and same focal length. Computer system 10 via key subject application 624 creates a point of certainty, key subject KS point by performing a horizontal image shift of source images, plurality of images of scene S captured by digital image capture devices 831-834 (n devices), whereby source images, plurality of images of scene S captured by digital image capture devices 831-834 (n devices) overlap at this one point, as shown in FIG. 13. This image shift does two things, first it sets the depth of the image. All points in front of key subject KS point are closer to the observer and all points behind key subject KS point are further from the observer.

[00183] Moreover, in an auto mode computer system 10 via image manipulation application may identify the key subject KS based on a depth map of the source images, plurality of images of scene S captured by digital image capture devices 831-834 (n devices).

[00184] Computer system 10 via image manipulation application may identify a foreground, closest point and background, furthest point using a depth map of the source images, plurality of images of scene S captured by digital image capture devices 831-834 (n devices). Alternatively in manual mode, computer system 10 via image manipulation application and display 628 may be configured to enable user U to select or identify key subject KS in the source images, plurality of images of scene S captured by digital image capture devices 831-834 (n devices) of scene S. User U may tap, move a cursor or box or other identification to select or identify key subject KS in the source images, plurality of images of scene S captured by digital image capture devices 831-834 (n devices) of scene S, as shown in FIG. 13.

[00185] Horizontal image translation (HIT) sets the key subject plane KSP as the plane of the screen from which the scene emanates (first or proximal plane). This step also sets the motion of objects, such as bush B in near plane NP (third or near plane) and tree T in far plane FP (second or distal plane) relative to one another. Objects in front of key subject KS or key subject plane KSP move in one direction (left to right or right to left) while objects behind key subject KS or key subject plane KSP move in the opposite direction from objects in the front. Objects behind the key subject plane KSP will have less parallax for a given motion.

[00186] In the example of FIGs. 11, 11 A and 1 IB, each layer 1100 includes the primary image element of input file images of scene S, such as image or frame 1101, 1102, 1103 and 1104 from digital image capture devices 831-834 (n devices), respectively. Image acquisition application 624, performs a process to translate image or frame 1101, 1102, 1103 and 1104 image or frame 1101, 1102, 1103 and 1104 is overlapping and offset from the principal axis 1112 by a calculated parallax value, (horizontal image translation (HIT). Parallax line 1107 represents the linear displacement of key subject KS points 1109.1-1109.4 from the principal axis 1112. Preferably delta 1120 between the parallax line 1107 represents a linear amount of the parallax 1120, such as front parallax 1120.2 and back parallax 1120.1.

[00187] Calculate parallax, minimum parallax and maximum parallax as a function of number of pixel, pixel density and number of frames, and closest and furthest points, and other parameters as set US patent 9,992,473, US patent 10,033,990, and US patent 10,178,247, incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.

[00188] In block or step 1220B, computer system 10 via depth map application program(s) 624 is configured to create(ing) depth map of source images, plurality of images of scene S captured by digital image capture devices 831-834 (n devices) and makes a grey scale image through an algorithm. A depth map is an image or image channel that contains information relating to the distance of objects, surfaces, or points in scene S from a viewpoint, such as digital image capture devices 831-834 (n devices). For example, this provides more information as volume, texture and lighting are more fully defined. Once a depth map 1220B is generated then the parallax can be tightly controlled. For this computer system 10 may limit the number of output frames to four without going to a depth map. If we use four from a depth map or two from a depth map, we are not limited by the intermediate camera positions. Note the outer digital image capture devices 831 and 834 are locked into the interpupillary distance (IPD) of the observer or user U viewing display 628.

[00189] Moreover, computer system 10 via key subject, application program(s) 624 may identify key subject KS based on the depth map of the source images. Similarly, computer system 10 via depth map application program(s) 624 may identify Near Plane NP may be the plane passing through the closest point in focus to the lens plane (the bush B in the foreground), Far Plane FP which is the plane passing through the furthest point in focus (tree T in the background) a foreground, closest point and background, furthest point using a depth map of the source image.

[00190] Computer system 10 via depth map application program(s) 624 may define two or more planes for each of series of 2D images of the scene and one or more planes may have different depth estimate. Computer system 10 via depth map application program(s) 624 may identify a first proximal plane, such as key subject plane KSP and a second distal plane within the series of 2D images of the scene, such as Near Plane NP or Far Plane FP.

[00191] In block or step 1220C, computer system 10 via interlay(ing) application program(s) 624 is configured overlay 2D RGB high resolution digital camera thereon model or mesh of images(n) 1101, 1102, 1103, 1104 (set of frames 1100) of scene S with RGB high resolution color (DIFY or 3D stereo).

[00192] In block or step 1220D, computer system 10 via dataset manipulation application 624 may be utilized to generate a model or mesh of scene S from images(n) 1101, 1102, 1103, 1104 (set of frames 1100) of scene S.

[00193] In block or step 1225, computer system 10 via frame establishment program(s) 624 is configured to create or generate frames, recording of images of images(n) 1101, 1102, 1103, 1104 (set of frames 1100) of scene S from a virtual camera shifting, rotation, or arcing position, such as such as 0.5 to 1 degree of separation or movement between frames, such as -5, -4, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5; for DIFY represented 1101, 1102, 1103, 1104 (set of frames 1100) of 3D color mesh Dataset of scene S to generate parallax; for 3D Stereo as left and right; for example 1102, 1103 images of 3D color mesh Dataset and 1101, 1102, 1103, 1104 for (DIFY). Computer system 10 via key subject, application program(s) 624 may establish increments, of shift for example one (1) degree of total shift between the views (typically 10-70 pixel shift on display 628). This simply means a complete sensor (capture device) rotation of 360 degrees around key subject KS would have 360 views so we are only using/need view 1 and view 2, for 3D Stereo as left and right; 1102, 1103 images Dataset. This gives us 1 degree of separation/disparity for each view assuming rotational parallax orbiting around a key subject (zero parallax point). This will likely establish a minimum disparity/parallax that can be adjusted up as the sensor (image capture module 830) moves farther away from key subject KS.

[00194] In block or step 1225A, computer system 10 via frame establishment program(s) 624 is configured to input or upload source images captured external from computer system 10.

[00195] In block or step 1230, utilizing computer system 10 via horizontal and vertical frame DIF translation application 624 may be configured to horizontally and vertically align or transform each source image, plurality of images of scene S captured by digital image capture devices 831- 834 (n devices) requires a dimensional image format (DIF) transform. The DIF transform is a geometric shift that does not change the information acquired at each point in the source image, plurality of images of scene S captured by digital image capture devices 831-834 (n devices) but can be viewed as a shift of all other points in the source image, plurality of images of scene S captured by digital image capture devices 831-834 (n devices), in Cartesian space (illustrated in FIG. 11). As a plenoptic function, the DIF transform is represented by the equation:

[00197] Where D u,v= D q,f

[00198] In the case of a digital image source, the geometric shift corresponds to a geometric shift of pixels which contain the plenoptic information, the DIF transform then becomes:

[00200] Moreover, computer system 10 via horizontal and vertical frame DIF translation application 624 may also apply a geometric shift to the background and or foreground using the DIF transform. The background and foreground may be geometrically shifted according to the depth of each relative to the depth of the key subject KS identified by the depth map 1220B of the source image, plurality of images of scene S captured by digital image capture devices 831-834 (n devices). Controlling the geometrical shift of the background and foreground relative to the key subject KS controls the motion parallax of the key subject KS. As described, the apparent relative motion of the key subject KS against the background or foreground provides the observer with hints about its relative distance. In this way, motion parallax is controlled to focus objects at different depths in a displayed scene to match vergence and stereoscopic retinal disparity demands to better simulate natural viewing conditions. By adjusting the focus of key subjects KS in a scene to match their stereoscopic retinal disparity (an intraocular or interpupillary distance width IPD (distance between pupils of human visual system), the cues to ocular accommodation and vergence are brought into agreement.

[00201] Referring again to FIG. 4, viewing a DIFY, multidimensional image sequence 1010 on display 628 requires two different eye actions of user U. The first is the eyes will track the closest item, point, or object (near plane NP) in multidimensional image sequence 1010 on display 628, which will have linear translation back and forth to the stationary key subject plane KSP due to image or frame 1101, 1102, 1103 and 1104 is overlapping and offset from the principal axis 1112 by a calculated parallax value, (horizontal image translation (HIT)). This tracking occurs through the eyeball moving to follow the motion. Second, the eyes will perceive depth due to the smooth motion change of any point or object relative to the key subject plane KSP and more specifically to the key subject KS point. Thus, DIFYs are composed of one mechanical step and two eye functions.

[00202] A mechanical step of translating of the frames so the Key Subject KS point overlaps on all frames. Linear translation back and forth to the stationary key subject plane KSP due to image or frame 1101, 1102, 1103 and 1104 may be overlapping and offset from the principal axis 1112 by a calculated parallax value, (horizontal image translation (HIT). Eye following motion of near plane NP object which exhibits greatest movement relative to the key subject KS (Eye Rotation). Difference in frame position along the key subject plane KSP (Smooth Eye Motion) which introduces binocular disparity. Comparison of any two points other than key subject KS also produces depth (binocular disparity). Points behind key subject plane KSP move in opposite direction than those points in front of key subject KS. Comparison of two points in front or back or across key subject KS plane shows depth.

Moreover, display 628 may include other standard LCD user U interaction components, such as top glass cover 1510 with capacitive touch screen glass 1512 positioned between top glass cover 1510 andLCD panel stack components 1520. It is contemplated herein that other forms of display 628 may be included herein other than LCD, such LED, ELED, PDP, QLED, and other types of display technologies. Furthermore, display 628 may include a lens array, such as lenticular lens 1514 preferably positioned between capacitive touch screen glass 1512 and LCD panel stack of components 1520, and configured to bend or refract light in a manner capable of displaying an interlaced stereo pair of left and right images as a 3D or multidimensional digital image(s) 1010 on display 628 and, thereby displaying a multidimensional digital image of scene S on display 628. Transparent adhesives 1530 may be utilized to bond elements in the stack, whether used as a horizontal adhesive or a vertical adhesive to hold multiple elements in the stack. For example, to produce a 3D view or produce a multidimensional digital image on display 628, a 1920x1200 pixel image via a plurality of pixels needs to be divided in half, 960x1200, and either half of the plurality of pixels may be utilized for a left image and right image.

[00223] It is contemplated herein that left and right images may be produce as set forth in FIGs. 6.1-6.3 from US patent 9,992,473, US patent 10,033,990, and US patent 10,178,247 and electrically communicated to left pixel 550L and right pixel 550R.

[00230] In this FIG.15C, the viewing angle A1 is a function of viewing distance VD, size S of display 628, wherein Al= 2 arctan (S/2VD).

[00231] Referring now to FIG. 15D, there is illustrated by way of example, and not limitation a representative segment or section of one embodiment of exemplary lenticular lens 1514 of display 628.

[00234] Moreover, to achieve highest quality two dimensional (2D) image viewing and multidimensional digital image viewing on the same display 628 simultaneously, a digital form of alternating black line or parallax barrier (alternating) may be utilized during multidimensional digital image viewing on display 628 without the addition of lenticular lens 1514 to the stack of display 628 and then digital form of digital form of alternating black line or parallax barrier (alternating) may be disabled during two dimensional (2D) image viewing on display 628.

[00235] A parallax barrier is a device placed in front of an image source, such as a liquid crystal display, to allow it to show a stereoscopic or multiscopic image without the need for the viewer to wear 3D glasses. Placed in front of the normal LCD, it consists of an opaque layer with a series of precisely spaced slits, allowing each eye to see a different set of pixels, so creating a sense of depth through parallax. A digital parallax barrier is a series of alternating black lines in front of an image source, such as a liquid crystal display (pixels), to allow it to show a stereoscopic or multiscopic image. In addition, face-tracking software functionality may be utilized to adjust the relative positions of the pixels and barrier slits according to the location of the user's eyes, allowing the user to experience the 3D from a wide range of positions. The book Design and Implementation of Autostereoscopic Displays by Keehoon Hong, Soon-gi Park, Jisoo Hong, Byoungho Lee incorporated herein by reference. [00236] It is contemplated herein that parallax and key subject KS reference point calculations may be formulated for distance between virtual camera positions, interphasing spacing, display 628 distance from user U, lenticular lens 1514 configuration (lens angle Al, 1542, lens per millimeter and millimeter depth of the array), lens angle 1542 as a function of the stack up of components of display 628, refractive properties of lenticular lens 1514, and distance left eye LE and right eye RE are from pixel 1550, viewing distance VD, distance between virtual camera positions (interpupillary distance IPD), and the like to produce digital multi-dimensional images as related to the viewing devices or other viewing functionality, such as barrier screen (black line), lenticular, parabolic, overlays, waveguides, black line and the like with an integrated LCD layer in an LED or OLED, LCD, OLED, and combinations thereof or other viewing devices.

[00238] It is contemplated herein that number of lenses per mm or inch of lenticular lens 514 is determined by the pixels per inch of display 628.

[00239] It is contemplated herein that other angles Al are contemplated herein, distance of pixels 1550C, 1550L, 1550R from of lens 1540 (approximately 0.5 mm), and user U viewing distance from smart device display 628 from user’s eyes (approximately fifteen (15) inches), and average human interpupilary spacing between eyes (approximately 2.5 inches) may be factored or calculated to produce digital multi-dimensional images. Governing rules of angles and spacing assure the viewed images thereon display 628 is within the comfort zone of the viewing device to produce digital multi-dimensional images, see FIGs. 5, 6, 11 below.

[00240] It is recognized herein that angle Al of lens 1541 may be calculated and set based on viewing distance VD between user U eyes, left eye LE and right eye RE, and pixels550, such as pixels 1550C, 1550L, 1550R, a comfortable distance to hold display 628 from user’s U eyes, such as ten (10) inches to arm/wrist length, or more preferably between approximately fifteen (15) inches to twenty -four (24) inches, and most preferably at approximately fifteen (15) inches.

First known elements are number of pixels 1550 and number of images, two image, distance between virtual camera positions, or (interpupilary distance IPD). Images captured at or near interpupilary distance IPD matches the human visual system, simplifies the math, minimizes cross talk between the two images, fuzziness, image movement to produce digital multi-dimensional image viewable on display 628.

Alternatively, computer system 10 via image manipulation application 626 may enable user U remote from vehicle V to utilize multidimensional image/sequence 1010 to navigate the vehicle V through terrain T of scene S.

[00252] It is contemplated herein that computer system 10 via output application 624 may be configured to enable display of multidimensional image sequence 1010 on display 628 to enable a plurality of user U, in block or step 1250 to view multidimensional image sequence 1010 on display 628 live or as a replay/rebroadcast. [00253] It is recognized herein that step 1250, may be performed by computer system 10 via output application 624 utilizing distinct and separately located computer systems 10, such as one or more user systems 720, 722, 724 and application program(s) 624 performing steps herein. For example, using an output or image viewing system, remote from scene S via computer system 10 and application program(s) 624 and communicating between user systems 720, 722, 724 and application program(s) 626 via communications link 740 and/or network 750, or via wireless network, such as 5G, computer systems 10 and application program(s) 624 via more user systems 720, 722, 724. Here, computer system 10 output application 624 may receive manipulated plurality of two digital images of scene S and display multidimensional image/sequence 1010 to one more user systems 720, 722, 724 via communications link 740 and/or network 750, or via wireless network, such as 5G computer systems 10 and application program(s) 624.

[00254] Moreover, via communications link 740 and/or network 750, wireless, such as 5G second computer system 10 and application program(s) 624 may transmit sets of images(n) of scene S configured relative to key subject plane KSP as multidimensional image sequence 1010 on display 628 to enable a plurality of user U, in block or step 1250 to view multidimensional image/sequence 1010 on display 628 live or as a replay/rebroadcast.

[00255] Referring now to FIG. 13, there is illustrated by way of example, and not limitation, touch screen display 628 enabling user U to select photography options of computer system 10. A first exemplary option may be DIFY capture wherein user U may specify or select digital image(s) speed setting 1302 where user U may increase or decrease play back speed or frames (images) per second of the sequential display of digital image(s) on display 628 multidimensional image/sequence 1010. Furthermore, user U may specify or select digital image(s) number of loops or repeats 1304 to set the number of loops of images(n) of the plurality of 2D image(s) 1000 of scene S where images(n) of the plurality of 2D image(s) 1000 of scene S are displayed in a sequential order on display 628, similar to FIG. 11. Still furthermore, user U may specify or select order of playback of digital image(s) sequences for playback or palindrome sequence 1306 to set the order of display of images(n) of the multidimensional image/sequence 1010 of scene S. The timed sequence showing of the images produces the appropriate binocular disparity through the motion pursuit ratio effect. It is contemplated herein that computer system 10 and application program(s) 624 may utilize default or automatic setting herein. [00256] DIFY, referring to FIGs. 14A and 14B, there is illustrated by way of example, and not limitation, frames captured in a set sequence which are played back to the eye in a set sequence and a representation of what the human eyes perceives viewing the DIFY on display 628. Explanation of DIFY and its geometry to produce motion parallax. Motion parallax is the change in angle of a point relative to a stationary point. (Motion Pursuit). Note because we have set the key subject KS point all points in foreground will move to the right, while all points in the background will move to the left. The motion is reversed in a paledrone where the images reverse direction. The angular change of any point in different views relative to the key subject creates motion parallax.

[00257] A DIFY is a series of frames captured in a set sequence which are played back to the eye in the set sequence as a loop. For example, the play back of two frames (assume first and last frame, such as frame 1101 and 1104) is depicted in FIG. 14A. FIG. 14A represents the position of an object, such as a near plane NP object in FIG. 4 on the near plane NP and its relation to key subject KS point in frame 1101 and 1104 wherein key subject KS point is constant due to the image translation imposed on the frames, frame 1101, 1102, 1103 and 1104. Frames, frame 1101, 1102, 1103 and 1104 in FIG. 11 A and 1 IB may be overlapping and offset from the principal axis 1112 by a calculated parallax value, (horizontal image translation (HIT) and preset by the spacing of virtual camera. FIG. 14B there is illustrated by way of example, and not limitation what the human eye perceives from the viewing of the two frames (assume first and last frame, such as frame 1101 and 1104 having frame in near plane NP as point 1401 and frame 2 in near plane NP as point 1402) depicted in FIG. 14A on display 628 where image plane or screen plane is the same as key subject KS point and key subject plane KSP and user U viewing display 628 views virtual depth near plane NP 1410 in front of display 628 or between display 628 and user U eyes, left eye LE and right eye RE. Virtual depth near plane NP 1410 is near plane NP as it represents frame 1 in near plane NP as object in near plane point 1401 and frame 2 in near plane NP as object in near plane pointl402, the closest points user U eyes, left eye LE and right eye RE see when viewing multidimensional image sequence 1010 on display 628.

[00258] Virtual depth near plane NP 1410 simulates a visual depth between key subject KS and object in near plane point 1401 and object in near plane point 1402 as virtual depth 1420, depth between the near plane NP and key subject plane KSP. This depth is due to binocular disparity between the two views for the same point, object in near plane point 1401 and object in near plane point 1402. Object in near plane point 1401 and object in near plane point 1402 are preferably same point in scene S, at different views sequenced in time due to binocular disparity. Moreover, outer rays 1430 and more specifically user U eyes, left eye LE and right eye RE viewing angle 1440 is preferably approximately twenty-seven (27) degrees from the retinal or eye axis. (Similar to the depth of field for a cell phone or tablet utilizing display 628.) This depiction helps define the limits of the composition of scene S. Near plane point 1401 and near plane point 1402 preferably lie within the depth of field, outer rays 1430, and near plane NP has to be outside the inner cross over position 1450 of outer rays 1430.

[00259] The motion from XI to X2 is the motion user U eyes, left eye LE and right eye RE will track. Xn is distance from eye lens, left eye LE or right eye RE to image point 1411, 1412 on virtual near image plane 1410. X’n is distance of leg formed from right triangle of Xn to from eye lens, left eye LE or right eye RE to image point 1411, 1412 on virtual near image plane 1410 to the image plane, 628, KS, KSP. The smooth motion is the binocular disparity caused by the offset relative to key subject KS at each of the points user U eyes, left eye LE and right eye RE observe.

[00260] For each eye, left eye LE or right eye RE, a coordinate system may be developed relative to the center of the eye CL and to the center of the intraocular spacing, half of interpupillary distance width IPD, 1440. Two angles b and a are the angles utilized to explain the DIFY motion pursuit b is the angle formed when a line is passed from the eye lens, left eye LE and right eye RE, through the virtual near plane 1410 to the image on the image plane, 628, KS, KSP. Q is b2- bΐ. While a is the angle from the fixed key subject KS of the two frames 1101, 1104 on the image plane 628, KS, KSP to the point 1411, 1412 on virtual near image plane 1410. The change in a represents the eye pursuit. Motion of the eyeball rotating, following the change in position of a point on the virtual near plane. While b is the angle responsible for smooth motion or binocular disparity when compared in the left and right eye. The outer ray 1430 emanating from the eye lens, left eye LE and right eye RE connecting to point 1440 represents the depth of field or edge of the image, half of the image. This line will change as the depth of field of the virtual camera changes.

[00261] di/f=Xi [00262] If we define the pursuit motion as the difference in position of a point along the virtual near plane, then by utilizing the tangents we derive:

[00263]

[00264] X2-Xl=di/(tan [ocl-tanoc2)|

[00265] These equations show us that the pursuit motion, X2 -XI is not a direct function of the viewing distance. As the viewing distance increases the perceived depth di will be smaller but because of the small angular difference the motion will remain approximately the same relative to the full width of the image.

[00266] Mathematically that the ratio of retinal motion over the rate of smooth eye pursuit determines depth relative to the fixation point in central human vision. The creation of the KSP provides the fixation point necessary to create the depth. Mathematically, then all points will move differently from any other point as the reference point is the same in all cases.

[00267] Referring now to FIG. 17, there is illustrated by way of example, and not limitation a representative illustration of Circle of Comfort CoC fused with Horopter arc or points and Panum area. Horopter is the locus of points in space that have the same disparity as fixation, Horopter arc or points. Objects in the scene that fall proximate Horopter arc or points are sharp images and those outside (in front of or behind) Horopter arc or points are fuzzy or blurry. Panum is an area of space, Panum area 1720, surrounding the Horopter for a given degree of ocular convergence with inner limit 1721 and an outer limit 1722, within which different points projected on to the left and right eyes LE/RE result in binocular fusion, producing a sensation of visual depth, and points lying outside the area result in diplopia - double images. Moreover, fuse the images from the left and right eyes for objects that fall inside Panum’ s area, including proximate the Horopter, and user U will we see single clear images. Outside Panum’ s area, either in front or behind, user U will see double images.

[00268] It is recognized herein that computer system 10 via image capture application 624, image manipulation application 624, image display application624 may be performed utilizing distinct and separately located computer systems 10, such as one or more user systems 220, 222, 224 and application program(s) 206. Next, via communications link 240 and/or network 250, wireless, such as 5G second computer system 10 and application program(s) 206 may transmit sets of images(n) of scene S relative to key subject plane introduces a (left and right) binocular disparity to display a multidimensional digital image on display 628 to enable a plurality of user U, in block or step 1250 to view multidimensional digital image on display 628 live or as a replay/rebroadcast.

[00269] Moreover, FIG. 17 illustrates display and viewing of multidimensional image 1010 on display 628 via left and right pixel 1550L/R light of multidimensional image 1010 passes through lenticular lens 1540 and bends or refracts to provide 3D viewing of multidimensional image 1010 on display 628 to left eye LE and right eye RE a viewing distance VD from pixel 1550 with near object, key subject KS, and far object within the Circle of Comfort CoC and Circle of Comfort CoC is proximate Horopter arc or points and within Panum area 1720 to enable sharp single image 3D viewing of multidimensional image 1010 on display 628comfortable and compatible with human visual system of user U.

[00270] Blockchain is a shared, ledger that facilitates the process of recording transactions and tracking assets in a network. An asset can be tangible (title to a house, car, cash, land, artwork or DIGY, 3D Stereo, Datasets thereof) or intangible (intellectual property, patents, copyrights, branding). A blockchain is a decentralized, distributed, and oftentimes public, digital ledger consisting of records called blocks that are used to record transactions across many computers using cryptography so that any involved block cannot be altered retroactively, without the alteration of all subsequent blocks. This allows the participants to verify and audit transactions independently. Each block contains data or Dataset, a cryptographic hash of the previous block (chain), a timestamp, and cryptographic hash (identifies block and all its content). The timestamp proves that the transaction data existed when the block was published to get into its hash. As blocks each contain information about the block previous to it, they form a chain, with each additional block reinforcing the ones before it. Therefore, blockchains are resistant to modification of their data because once recorded, the data in any given block cannot be altered retroactively without altering all subsequent blocks. If change a block then all following blocks invalid and have a different hash. Secure through Proof of Work mechanism slows down transaction rate to create a new block plus distributed. Blockchains are typically managed by a peer-to-peer network, an open and decentralized database, for use as a publicly distributed ledger, where nodes collectively adhere to a protocol to communicate and validate new blocks. Each new block is sent to everyone on the network to verify the new block creating a consensus. Although blockchain records are not unalterable as forks are possible, blockchains may be considered secure by design via a distributed computing system.

[00271] Ethereum is a popular block chain standard as well as other private and open source blockchain algorithms.

[00272] DIGY, 3D Stereo, Datasets, and other datasets and any authentication documents verify creator or author, authenticity statements, history, date of origin, chain of title, chain of owners, or like (authentication) may be included in the dataset (Dataset). Dataset may be stored as a block on the blockchain network and each subsequent transaction thereafter related to Dataset may be set forth in subsequent blocks each contains a cryptographic hash of the previous block, a timestamp of the Dataset transaction data decentralized source of trust.

[00273] Utilize Non-fungible tokens - For select DIGY, DIGY sequences, or Stereo 3D image files, Datasets or other datasets- non-fungible tokens (NFT)s are unique collectible crypto assets stored on blockchain with unique identification codes and metadata that distinguish DIGY, DIGY sequences, or Stereo 3D image file, Dataset, or dataset from any other digital content making it unique one of a kind or limited edition digital content. Enabling the creation of unique digital content and/or set numbers of copies- a certificate of authenticity for a one-of-a-kind or limited number of digital memorabilia that can't be duplicated. The memorabilia is stored on a blockchain network. It's 'non-fungible” because it can't be readily exchanged as similar reproducible content freely moving through the internet. Moreover, authenticating precious art work utilizing DIGY, DIGY sequences, or Stereo 3D image file, Dataset of artwork along with appraisal, and any authentication documents verify creator or author, authenticity statements, history, date of origin, chain of title, chain of owners, or like (authentication) may be included in the dataset (Dataset) and making an smart contract or NFT of Dataset.

[00274] An NFT is simply a record of who owns a unique piece of digital content. That content can be anything from art, music, photograph, 3D graphics, tweets, memes, games, videos, GIFs - you name it. If it's digital and it was created, it can be an NFT.

[00275] Current NFT digital content can be captured by a third party device and mass distributed via Internet by piracy and devalue the NFT digital content of standard NFT content. [00276] Digital content herein are DIGYs and 3D Stereo images generated by artist users and creating their own NFT artwork based on DIGYs and 3D Stereo images using our DIGY and 3D Stereo platforms above.
