Abstract
A 3D video processing system with integrated display is described wherein the huge data bandwidth demands on the source-to-display transmission medium is decreased by utilizing innovative 3D light field video data compression at the source along with innovative reconstruction of 3D light field video content from highly compressed 3D video data at the display. The display incorporates parallel processing pipelines integrated with a Quantum Photonics Imager® for efficient data handling and light imaging.
Claims16
A system for reproducing a light field for display from a compressed light field, the system comprising:
- at least one processing node having a plurality of hardware modules configured for decompressing the compressed light field and reproducing the light field for a display;
- each processing node having:
- an interface module,
- an entropy decoder,
- an image inverse transform module,
- a hogel content repetition module,
- a forward depth-image-based rendering (DIBR) module,
- a backward DIBR module,
- an error correction module,
- an interleaver module, and
- a pixel modulator module;
- each processing node having a bus interconnect for interconnecting the modules and a plurality of memories;
- a sequence controller, the sequence controller controlling a sequence of operation of the modules to decompress compressed light field data to reproduce the light field for display.
