Computer-generated integral imaging system is an auto-stereoscopic display system that users can see and feel the stereoscopic images when they see the pre-rendered elemental images through a lens array. The process of constructing elemental images using computer graphics is called image mapping. Viewpoint vector rendering (VVR) method is one of the image mapping algorithm specially designed for real-time graphics applications, which would not be affected by the size of the rendered objects or the number of elemental lenses used in the integral imaging system. This paper describes a new VVR framework which improved its rendering performance considerably. It also compares the previous VVR implementation with the new VVR work utilizing GPU and shows that newer implementation shows pretty big improvements over the old method.
