In this paper, a new integral imaging method with horizontal parallax only is proposed by modified use of elemental images pickuped from conventional integral imaging. The modified elemental images are obtained by magnifying single horizontal elemental image vertically and from which 3D images could be reconstructed. The proposed method can provide us large reduction of transmission information data for elemental images by eliminating the vertical parallax. The feasibility of our approach is experimentally demonstrated and its results are presented.

We proposed a new method to improve the resolution of elemental image set in the integral imaging system using super-resolution image reconstruction method. Adjacent elemental images have same image region which is projected from the common area of object. These projected images in the elemental image can be used for low resolution images of super-resolution method. Two methods for resolution improvement of elemental image set using super-resolution method are proposed. One is super-resolution among the elemental image sets and the other is among the elemental images. Simulation results are compared with resolution improved elemental image set using interpolated method.

In this paper, we propose a new method to correct the perspective distortion that occurs in the process of acquiring the integral images. In the proposed method, the distortion correction is based on the spectral characteristics of integral images. As element images of an integral image are repeated nearly periodically, its Fourier spectrum is given as an impulse train. On the contrary, the impulse train do not appear in the spectra of distorted images. In the proposed method, therefore, the perspective distortion parameters are detected by using the characteristics of the spectrum obtained through the Fourier transform, and then the distorted images are corrected by using the parameters. Through experiments, we verify that the proposed method effectively works for the perspective distortion correction.

We proposed a new method to improve the resolution of far object image in curving effective integral imaging system. Basically, the curving effective integral imaging(CEII) system can improve the resolution of the reconstructed images with an increased sampling rate of elemental images. However, in the case when an object located far from the lenslet array is picked up, the low resolution of the reconstructed images of the far object has been a primary problem because the sampling rate is very low. In order to solve this drawback, by using the direct pixel mapping(DPM) method the EIA picked up from a far object is transformed into a new EIA that virtually looks like the EIA picked up from the object originally located close to the lenslet array. From this new EIA, highly resolution-enhanced images of far object could be reconstructed in the CEII system. To show the feasibility of the proposed method, simulation results are compared with the conventional method.

Microscopic specimen was captured by an integral imaging microscope and displayed as a three-dimensional image by an integral imaging display system. We applied the generalized relationship between pickup and display using two different lens arrays to our integral imaging microscope and display system. In order to display three-dimensional microscopic image, scaling of the captured elemental images is required. We analyzed the effect of the scaling coefficient in terms of the distortion of the displayed three-dimensional image and the loss of the captured elemental images. In our experiment, microscopic specimen is picked up by an integral imaging microscope having $125{\mu}m$ elemental lens pitch and displayed as three-dimensional image by an integral imaging display system having 1mm elemental lens pitch. The scaling coefficient was chosen to minimize the elemental image loss.

In this paper, we propose a depth conversion method for orthoscopic real image reconstruction in integral imaging. Pseudoscopic image has been regarded a problem in conventional integral imaging. the depth of reconstructed image is depending on a coordinate of an elemental image. The conversion from pseudoscopic to orthoscopic may be possible by analysing the geometrical relation between pickup and reconstruction system of elemental image. The feasibility of the proposed method has been confirmed through preliminary experiments as well as ray optical analysis.

In this paper, we propose a generation of 2D elemental images for 3D objects using Kinect in 3D depth-priority integral imaging (DPII) display. First, we analyze a principle to pickup elemental images based on ray optics. Based on our analysis, elemental images are generated with both RGB image and depth image recorded from Kinect. We reconstruct 3D images from the elemental images with the computational integral imaging reconstruction technique and then compare various perspective images. To show the usefulness of the proposed method, we carried out the preliminary experiments. The experimental results reveal that our method can provide correct 3D images with full parallax.

본 논문에서는 집적 영상을 효율적으로 압축하는 방법을 제안한다. 렌즈 어레이를 이용하여 획득되는 집적 영상은 3차원 영상을 기록하고 표현하는 기술 중에 하나이다. 3차원 영상의 복원은 각 요소영상의 해상도에 의해 많은 영향을 받음에 따라 효율적인 집적영상 압축은 매우 중요하다고 할 수 있다. 제안된 방법은 3D 이산 코사인 변환(3D-DCT)를 기반으로 하고 있다. 3D-DCT는 렌즈 어레이로 촬영된 인접 영상들 간의 교차 상관도를 이용하여 영상간 중복성을 줄여 압축 효율을 향상시킬 수 있는 방법이다. 제안방법은 인접 영상들 간의 교차 상관도를 고려하여, 동일 위치의 픽셀들로 $8{\times}8$ DCT블록을 재구성하여 3D-DCT를 수행한다. 제안 방법은 기존의 JPEG이나 기존의 3D-DCT를 이용한 방법과 비교해 더 좋은 성능을 보여준다.
