Ryutaro Oi has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 9535401
    Abstract: An electronic holographic display device includes: a beam emitting device; a plurality of polarizing beam splitters; a plurality of spatial light modulators, each of which is disposed with prescribed distances therebetween and modulates a beam vertically made incident from the corresponding polarizing beam splitter; a magnifying optical system; and a reducing optical system. The magnifying optical system includes a first lens array and a second lens array. The reducing optical system includes a third lens array and a fourth lens array. A distance “a” between the spatial light modulator and the first lens is represented by a=(k+2)f0/(k+1), wherein a ratio “k” is a distance between two adjacent spatial light modulators, to a size of the spatial light modulator, and f0 is a focal point distance of the first lens.

  • Publication number: 20140376635
    Abstract: A stereoscopic video coding device inputs therein a reference viewpoint video and a left viewpoint video, as well as a reference viewpoint depth map and a left viewpoint depth map which are maps showing information on depth values of the respective viewpoint videos. A depth map synthesis unit of the stereoscopic video coding device creates a left synthesized depth map at an intermediate viewpoint from the two depth maps. A projected video prediction unit of the stereoscopic video coding device extracts, from the left viewpoint video, a pixel in a pixel area to constitute an occlusion hole when the reference viewpoint video is projected to another viewpoint and creates a left residual video. The stereoscopic video coding device encodes and transmits each of the reference viewpoint video, the left synthesized depth map, and the left residual video.
