  • Patent number: 11736678
    Abstract: A display screen with P screen points-of-view, P being an integer greater than or equal to 6, displays an autostereoscopic image at I image points-of-view, I being an integer greater than or equal to 2, less than or equal to P/3. The screen includes a matrix (10) of pixels arranged by rows and by columns; an optical array configured so that the P points-of-view of the screen can be perceived successively in lobes, each covering I times the average inter-pupillary distance of an observer (8), so that the screen points-of-view of each pair of points-of-view visible to the observer are separated by at least T buffer points-of-view, T being greater than or equal to 2, so that it is possible to display successively for each lobe, each of the I image points-of-view, each repeated P/I times, and that each point-of-view visible to the observer can be surrounded by at least 2 buffer points-of-view each displaying this same image point-of-view.

  • Patent number: 10819975
    Abstract: The invention relates to displaying an autostereoscopic image of two viewpoints, each formed of strips of subpixels, called image strips, on an autostereoscopic display screen configured to display N viewpoints, N being greater than or equal to 3. The method includes detecting the position of a privileged observer relative to the screen; determining, for each eye of the observer, strips of the screen visible by the eye at the detected position; determining, for each eye of the observer, strips that are not visible by either of the two eyes at the position; an assignment to the subpixels, of the visible strips of the screen for each eye, of subpixels corresponding to the image strip of the corresponding eye; an assignment to the subpixels, of the non-visible strips of the screen, of subpixels corresponding to safety viewpoints constructed from subpixels of the image strips.

  • Patent number: 10817131
    Abstract: A method for displaying an N-view autostereoscopic image formed of N elementary images interlaced according to a predetermined mixing scheme on a mobile display screen includes pivoting the screen; detecting a pivot angle ? of the screen; rotating the N elementary images by an inverse angle of the detected pivot angle ?, interlacing the N elementary images rotated according to the mixing scheme of the N elementary images in an initial direction, and displaying the N elementary images rotated on the display screen.

  • Patent number: 7774180
    Abstract: The system for identifying zones of proximity between a plurality of digitally simulated objects comprises: (a) first memory (111) for storing data describing the geometry of the objects, (b) an initialization module (120) for creating a population of pions, and (c) a central processor unit (140) comprising at least: (c1) a unit (141) for selecting a percentage of the population of pions to be subjected to combats in pairs, (c2) a comparison and calculation unit (142) for evaluating the quality of each of the pions in each pair of pions subjected to a combat, (c3) a marking unit (143) for identifying in each session of the tournament which of the pions of a pair of pions subjected to a combat has won or lost, (c4) an iteration unit (144) for causing the pions that have been subjected to at least one combat to evolve, in association with at least one operator for producing an exploratory mutation, and at least one redefinition operator, and (c5) an extraction module (145) for retaining only the best pions fro
