Abstract
A system and method for lightfield communication can be configured to receive one or more images, determine one or more features in the one or more images, and generate a lightfield image from the one or more images where at least one of the one or more features is in a focal plane of the lightfield image.
Claims22
A lightfield communication system comprising:
- a plurality of cameras configured to capture a plurality of images of a subject contemporaneously, a field of view of each camera of the plurality comprising a distinct perspective of the subject;
- a feature module configured to identify a common feature in each of the plurality of images;
- an alignment module configured to align each of the plurality of images based on the common feature;
- and
- a display comprising:
- a light source;
- a lenticular lens optically coupled to the light source that, with the light source, generates a light output having viewing angle dependency;
- and
- an optical volume optically coupled to the lenticular lens.
6 more elements
A method for generating a lightfield image comprising:
- receiving a plurality of images, each image of the plurality of images capturing different perspectives of a shared scene;
- determining a shared feature in each image of the plurality of images;
- setting the shared feature to an approximately zero disparity position between each image of the plurality of images;
- and
- displaying the plurality of images as a lightfield image in a display, wherein the lightfield image is perceived as three dimensional by one or more viewers, wherein the shared feature is in a focal plane of the display.
