Autostereoscopic display

A stereoscopic image generating system, comprising a display for displaying images and a lens array where a plurality of lens to match with a plurality of pixels of said display are provided and for displaying a stereoscopic image on said display, wherein:

• a stereoscopic image is generated by using a lens-pixel matching positional relation information to indicate as to which position of the pixel of the display the center of each lens of said lens array matches with,
• a stereoscopic image is generated by interpolation based on image data from multiple viewpoints closest to position and direction of a ray passing through each pixel and each lens center by utilizing said lens-pixel matching positional relation information based on image data from multiple viewpoints.

A method for generating a stereoscopic image to display the stereoscopic image on a display in a system, which comprises a display for display images and a lens array where a plurality of lenses to match with a plurality of pixels of said display are arranged, said method comprising steps of:

• generating said stereoscopic image by using the lens-pixel matching positional relation information as to which position of the pixel of the display the center of each lens of the lens array matches with;
• and
• generating a stereoscopic image by interpolation of image data from multiple viewpoint closest to position and direction of a ray passing through each pixel and each lens center by using said lens-pixel matching positional relation information based on image data from multiple viewpoint.
