Enhanced Still 3D Integral Images Rendering Based on Multiprocessor Ray Tracing System

Abstract

The main purpose of this paper is to introduce 3D integral imaging interpolation method, to overcome the 3D missing information problem occurred between cylindrical lenses (micro-images) due to occluded areas in the previous cylindrical lens, new cylindrical lens shows an area, to generate one single photo-realistic 3D integral imaging frame. The method is based on a Multiprocessor ray-tracer containing 3D integral imaging parser, 3D integral camera model, a 3D integral imaging renderer, spatial coherence and 3D scene transformations. Consequently, an increase in speed in the generation of still 3D integral image is achieved compared to fully ray tracing time of missing pixels. Experiments show that a significant reduction in execution time is achieved by using the 3D integral interpolation process. Savings up to (57%-66%) in the ray tracing time when compared to fully ray tracing the missing pixels depends on the complexity of the scene. 

Near to Real-time Computer Generation of 3D Holoscopic Images

“…This process is illustrated in Figure 1. The advantage of a new algorithm introduced is to adopt an integral ray tracing based on Parallel Ray-Traced System "Adopted Tachyon" as renderer [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11], lens view algorithm to take an advantage of information exist and reuse it to generate a new micro-image and interpolation technique to overcome the missed information between microimages [12].The new technique is used a multiprocessors ray tracing system as render although the ray tracing is an exhausted time in terms of rendering execution time but the image generated is realistic. Therefore the viewed 3D still image displays reality because of the 'solidity' of the objects in the scene.…”
