Abstract:
1. Digital binocular fusing apparatus including (a) a lens array comprising a plurality of elongate generally parallel adjacent lenticular sections, each of said sections having a longitudinal axis and including at least first and second viewing surfaces each canted with respect to the other; (b) a display mounted behind and contacting said lens array and including (c) a primary image orientation adjustment system for receiving registration adjustment signals and adjusting the position of said primary image and reference marks with respect to said lens array, said system adjusting simultaneously the position of said primary image and said reference marks such that each of said image strips is in registration with a selected one of said lenticular sections; (d) sensor means for detecting the position of said reference marks and generating position identification signals; and, (e) registration control means for receiving said position identification signals, determining if said primary image is in registration with said lens array, and, if necessary, generating registration adjustment signals, and transmitting said registration adjustment signals to said primary image orientation adjustment system; said sensor means including a plurality of sensors, each of said sensors operatively associated with one of said reference marks; said registration control means determining when each of said sensors is in registration with said reference mark operatively associated with said sensor; and, said primary image being in registration with said lens array when each of said sensors is registration with said reference mark operatively associated with said sensor.
