  • Patent number: 10026217
    Abstract: In order to allow a plurality of stereoscopic image sequences to be represented with comparatively good image quality, a method is provided which comprises the following method steps: i. receiving at least two sequences of multi-colored images in parallel; ii. breaking down each image into the basic colors thereof; iii. parallel processing the parts of an image that have been broken down into the basic colors in at least one respective data channel per basic color; iv. simultaneously displaying all parts of an image that have been broken down into the basic colors, wherein sequentially the images of different image sequences follow each other.

  • Patent number: 8195006
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for representing a two-dimensional digital image on a projection surface, whereby at least one projector projects the content of an image buffer onto the projection surface. The aim of the invention is to provide a method and a device which allow to project a digital image onto a background having any surface structure and/or color in such a manner that any influences on the image caused by the background are compensated to the last pixel for at least one special observer perspective. In a special embodiment, definition of the representation is optimized to the last pixel even on an uneven background. For this purpose, the digital image is processed during a rendering step by geometrically distorting it using a two-dimensional pixel-offset field which contains information on the projection surface, and by manipulating the color of the image by means of a two-dimensional surface texture of the projection surface.

  • Publication number: 20070081207
    Abstract: The aim of the invention is to provide a method and an arrangement for carrying out said method, by which means optical holograms and interactive computer graphics can be harmoniously and uniformly combined, so that all components can be recognised in an optically sharp and separate manner and the holograms can be represented in a modified manner, especially also partially accentuated. According to the invention, the hologram is illuminated by an illumination image projected by the video projector, a holographic wave front that can be seen by the observer is reconstructed therefrom, and computer graphics are simultaneously displayed on the screen.
