Abstract:
1. A method for generating images for display through a lenticular medium, comprising steps of: inputting a plurality of digital image files into a storage medium, each having a respective pixel dimension in a first direction and a respective pixel dimension in a second direction; inputting a printer resolution data into a storage medium; inputting a lenticular resolution data into a storage medium; inputting a print image size data into a storage medium; inputting into a storage medium a frame number representing a number of viewing angles; inputting into a storage medium a depth value data corresponding to at least one of said plurality of pixel images; calculating an output image dimension data representing a pixel dimension in said first direction and a pixel dimension in said second direction, said calculating based on said printer resolution data, said print image size data, and said viewing angle number data; inputting a print object dimension data corresponding to at least one of said input pixel images, said print object dimension data corresponding to a printed dimension of a printed image corresponding to said input pixel image; generating a plurality of scaled input pixel image files, each based on said output image dimension data, a corresponding one of said print object dimension data; generating a left composite frame file having said plurality of scaled pixel image files combined according to a first alignment; generating a right composite frame file having said plurality of scaled image files combined in a second alignment, said second alignment and said first alignment having a relation in accordance with at least said depth value data; and generating an interphased pixel file based on said left composite image file and said right composite image file.
