Abstract
A light-field image generation system including a shape information acquisition server that acquires shape information indicating a three-dimensional shape of an object, and an image generation server that is provided with a shape reconstruction unit that reconstructs the three-dimensional shape of the object as a virtual three-dimensional shape in a virtual space based on the shape information and a light-field image generation unit that generates a light-field image of the virtual three-dimensional shape at a predetermined viewing point in the virtual space.
Claims15
An image display system, comprising:
- a light-field image generation system, comprising:
- a shape information acquisition server including first circuitry configured to acquire shape information indicating a three-dimensional shape of an object;
- and
- an image generation server including second circuitry configured to
- reconstruct the three-dimensional shape of the object as a virtual three-dimensional shape in a virtual space based on the shape information, and
- generate a light-field image of the virtual three-dimensional shape at a predetermined viewing point in the virtual space;
- an image generation server including third circuitry configured to generate a display image from a light-field image;
- and
- a display device,
- wherein the display device includes a display in which a plurality of displays, including at least a front transparent display and a rear display, are positioned such that corresponding pixels overlap in a plan view, and
- the third circuitry of the image generation server is further configured to generate each displayed image that is displayed on each of the displays, each of the displayed images including gradation information of the pixels in the light-field image, the gradation information being compressed.
An image display method, comprising:
- acquiring shape information indicating a three-dimensional shape of an object;
- reconstructing the three-dimensional shape of the object as a virtual three-dimensional shape in a virtual space, based on the shape information;
- generating a light-field image of the virtual three-dimensional shape at a predetermined viewing point in the virtual space;
- and
- generating displayed images on a display in which a plurality of displays including at least a front transparent display and a rear display are positioned such that corresponding pixels overlap in a plan view, each of the displayed images being displayed on respective displays, and gradation information of the pixels in the light-field image being compressed.
