Abstract
A method of controlling a display device includes rendering a plurality of viewpoint images, generating a plurality of sub-images based on the plurality of viewpoint images and a plurality of mapping pattern images corresponding to the plurality of viewpoint images, generating a single light-field image based on the plurality of sub-images, and outputting the single light-field image.
Claims11
A method of controlling a display device, the method comprising:
- rendering a plurality of viewpoint images;
- generating a plurality of sub-images based on the plurality of viewpoint images and a plurality of mapping pattern images corresponding to the plurality of viewpoint images,
- wherein each of the plurality of sub-images corresponds to one of the plurality of mapping pattern images, and each of the plurality of mapping pattern images corresponds to one of the plurality of viewpoint images,
- wherein generating the plurality of sub-images comprises:
- loading the plurality of mapping pattern images, wherein the plurality of mapping pattern images are previously stored;
- and
- for each sub-image, calculating a color value based on a color value of a particular pixel position in the corresponding viewpoint image among the plurality of viewpoint images and on a color value of a particular color region corresponding to the particular pixel position in the corresponding mapping pattern image among the plurality of mapping pattern images;
- generating a single light-field image by merging the plurality of sub-images;
- and
- outputting the single light-field image.
