  • Patent number: 10666933
    Abstract: 3D image display device and method are provided. The 3D image display device divides a first 3D image into multiple depth layers, determines irregular pixels corresponding to the divided depth layers, generates second 3D images corresponding to the depth layers, respectively, using the corresponding irregular pixels, and synthesizes the generated images, thereby providing a final high-resolution 3D image.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 14, 2015
    Date of Patent: May 26, 2020
    Assignee: Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.
    Inventors: Jiao Shaohui, Zhou Mingcai, Hong Tao, Li Weiming, Wang Haitao, Dong Kyung Nam, Wang Xiying

  • Patent number: 8600186
    Abstract: The subject innovation provides for systems and methods to facilitate obtaining an overall well focused catadioptric image by combining portions of multifocal images in a fast and reliable manner. The resulting images benefit applications where high image resolutions are desirable over a large field of view. In an aspect, shallow depth of field imaging with respect to the caustic volume boundary can be correlated to annular shaped best focal regions for multifocal image sets. These annular regions are generally independent of scene composition and generally dependant on optical system parameters allowing fast computation of overall well focused output images comprising concentric best focused annulus areas from a multifocal image set.
