Synthesizing 3D images based on voxels

Abstract

Translate Article

Voxel is a basic picture element for composing 3D images. Since the generation of each voxel involves at least four pixels from four different view images for the case of full parallax 3D images, any voxel can be generated if the pixel pattern can be found. To find the pixel pattern, a set of voxels with known coordinated values are created by an optical geometry of the point light source array based 3D imaging system. This geometry provides that voxels aligned in planes parallel to the point light source array plane. The pixel pattern corresponding to each voxel is determined as the passage of seeing the point light sources related with the voxel, in the viewing zone. The resulting pixel patterns creates a good 3D image.
