Arrangement and method for the recording and display of images of a scene and/or an object

The arrangement for the recording of images of a scene and/or an object and their display for spatial perception, comprising:

• at least one main camera of a first camera type for the recording of images;
• at least two satellite cameras of a second camera type for the recording of images, with the camera types differing in at least one parameter;
• an image conversion device, arranged downstream of the cameras, that receives and processes the initial image data, said image conversion device performing, among other processes, a depth or disparity recognition employing only those images recorded by cameras of the same camera type (by said at least two satellite cameras), but not the remaining images;
• and
• a 3D image display device, connected to the image conversion device, that displays the provided image data for spatial perception without special aids, with the 3D image display device displaying at least two views.

A method for the recording and display of images of a scene and/or an object, comprising the following steps:

• generating at least one n-tuple of images, with n>2, with at least two images of the n-tuple having different resolutions;
• transferring the image data to an image conversion device, in which then a rectification, a color adjustment, a depth or disparity recognition and subsequent generation of further views from the n or less than n images of the said n-tuple and from the depth or disparity recognition data are carried out, with at least one view being generated that is not exactly equal to any of the n-tuple of images generated, and with the image conversion device employing, for depth or disparity recognition, only such images of the n-tuple that have the same resolution;
• subsequently generating a combination of at least two different views or images in accordance with the parameter assignment of the 3D display of a 3D image display device, for spatial presentation without special aids;
• and
• finally presenting the combined 3D image on the 3D display.

A method for the transmission of 3D information for the purpose of later display for spatial perception without special aids, on the basis of at least two different views, comprising the steps of:

• proceeding from at least one n-tuple of images, with n>2, which characterize different angles of view of an object or a scene, with at least two images of the n-tuple having different resolutions;
• determining the depth for at least three images;
• and
• thereafter, at least three images of the n-tuple, together with the respective depth information, are transmitted in a transmission channel.

A method of transmitting 3D information for the purpose of subsequent display for spatial perception without special aids, on the basis of at least two different views, comprising the steps of:

• proceeding from at least one n-tuple of images with n>2, which characterize different viewing angles of an object or a scene;
• determining the depth for at least three images;
• and
• thereafter at least three images of the n-tuple, together with the respective depth information are transmitted, in a transmission channel.
