Abstract:
1. A method for displaying three-dimensional images having a number N>2 perspective on an autostereoscopic display or an autostereoscopic screen, comprising: receiving fed images with a number M larger or equal to 2 perspectives, where M is less than N; analyzing each pixel B(i,j) of a fed image of a first perspective to determine a corresponding pixel B(i′,j′) in a second perspective or a right occultation, where i and i′ are row indices and j and j′ are column indices of the fed images; associating each pixel or subpixel of the display or screen with one of the M fed image perspectives or one of N minus M in-between perspectives; synthesizing the pixels or subpixels of the N minus M in-between perspectives associated with a pixel or subpixel of the display or screen through a virtual camera movement along a stereo basis between a pixel B(i,j) of the fed image of the first perspective and the corresponding pixel B(i′,j′) of the fed image of the second perspective, without synthesizing at least one of the pixels or subpixels of the N minus M in-between perspectives which is not associated with a pixel or subpixel of the display or screen; and displaying each associated pixel or subpixel of the display or screen on to the display or screen.
