Three-dimensional imaging system and method

Abstract

A three-dimensional imaging system and method are provided. The three-dimensional imaging system includes a suspension force field generator, a projection module, and a controller. The suspension force field generator generates a suspension force field to suspend a plurality of scattering particles used for scattering incident light and distribute the scattering particles on a projection plane. The projection module projects an image on the projection plane. The controller is coupled to the suspension force field generator and the projection module, controls the suspension force field generator to change the suspension force field so that the projection plane where the scattering particles are distributed moves in a display space, extracts a slice plane image that matches a position of the projection plane from multiple slice plane images sliced from a three-dimensional stereoscopic image, and controls the projection module to project the extracted slice plane image to the projection plane.
