Patent number: 7342721Abstract: A three-dimensional imaging system and related methods is provided that utilizes a composite transmissive LCD panel. The composite LCD panel contains at least two layers of stacked liquid crystal cells positioned on top of one another relative to the imaging direction, is utilized to display at least two calculated images superimposed over one another at different distances within the panel from the viewer. Each layer of liquid crystal cells create multiple pixels from the cells, which pixels collectively can be operated to form independent images on each liquid crystal layer. The composite LCD panel can be used to create a continuous 3-D image field in a large viewing area or in multiple viewing areas in conjunction with a suitable 3-D image generation system.Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 2004Date of Patent: March 11, 2008Assignee: iZ3D LLCInventor: Andrew Lukyanitsa

Patent number: 7224526Abstract: Disclosed herein are three-dimensional free space imaging systems and related methods employing a dynamic stereoscopic image projection system in combination with a optic module comprising a doublet of Fresnel lenses. The dynamic projector systems calculating derived flat image information for each projector based upon inputted stereopair images and information regarding the projector elements and optic module. In preferred embodiments of the present invention, the projection system uses an image computational device that employs a neural network feedback calculation to calculate the appropriate flat image information and appropriate images to be projected on the screen by the projectors at any given time.Type: GrantFiled: April 8, 2004Date of Patent: May 29, 2007Assignee: NeurOK LLCInventors: Andrey N. Putilin, Andrew Lukyanitsa

Patent number: 6985290Abstract: Three-dimensional imaging without parallax barriers or specialized eye gear, and without attendant loss of resolution, is provided by a display that produces dynamic images for display on at least two stacked electronic transmissive displays to create a continuous 3-D image field in a large viewing area or in multiple viewing areas. The images on each display are derived from stereoscopic image sources corresponding to both eyes of a viewer, and the derived images act as a mask for each other causing 3-D perception. The derived images are processed by summing the predicted image data, comparing the predicted image data to the desired stereopair, and minimizing the error. In preferred embodiments, the processing can be performed by an artificial neural network. A viewer may be presented with different aspects of an image as their viewing position changes to allow the viewer to perceive various perspectives of an image in dynamic fashion.Type: GrantFiled: January 6, 2004Date of Patent: January 10, 2006Assignee: NeurOK LLCInventors: Andrey N.

Patent number: 6843564Abstract: Disclosed herein are three-dimensional projection systems and related methods employing two electronically controlled projectors and a retro-reflective screen. The retro-reflective screen produces a known non-linear light reflection pattern when images are projected thereon. Image computational means are used to calculating flat image information for each projector based upon inputted stereopair images and information regarding the projectors and screen. In preferred embodiments of the present invention, the projection system uses an image computational device that employs a neural network feedback calculation to calculate the appropriate flat image information and appropriate images to be projected on the screen by the projectors at any given time. More than two projectors can be employed to produce multiple aspect views, to support multiple viewers, and the like. In another embodiment, the projection system includes a digital camera that provides feedback data to the image computational device.Type: GrantFiled: January 6, 2003Date of Patent: January 18, 2005Assignee: Neurok LLCInventors: Andrey N.

Publication number: 20030122828Abstract: Disclosed herein are three-dimensional projection systems and related methods employing liquid crystal display panels and a phase screen to project a true three-dimensional image of an object. Certain embodiments of the projection systems can include an imaging system capable of projecting “amplitude hologram” images onto a phase screen to produce a viewable three-dimensional image. The imaging systems disclosed use at least one liquid crystal display panel, an image generation system for calculating flat image information and for controlling the liquid crystal panels, and a phase screen. The screen has regular “phase” information recorded on it, which can be a known phase-only or phase-plus-amplitude hologram that is not dependent on three-dimensional object to be projected.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 24, 2002Publication date: July 3, 2003Applicant: NeurOK, LLCInventor: Andrew A.
