Abstract:
1. A method performed by a computer system for producing output image data for a virtual output image from input image data of individual input images provided by an array of image capturing devices for capturing a number of the individual input images from different viewpoints, the method comprising acts of: providing a virtual camera position by an input virtual camera position signal representing the virtual camera position; adding corresponding pixel values of the individual input images to form an integrated image; and inverse filtering the integrated image based on multiple depth layers in a scene, wherein the adding and inverse filtering acts are performed in dependence of the virtual camera position to produce the output image data for the virtual output image as seen from the virtual camera position, wherein the array of image capturing devices is an array of cameras around a display screen and the virtual camera position is a point at the display screen, wherein the virtual camera position is variable and is determined by measuring a position of eyes on the display screen.
