  • Patent number: 9172947
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for processing a multi-view image are provided. A priority may be assigned to each hole pixel in a hole region generated when an output view is generated. The priority of each hole pixel may be generated by combining a structure priority, a confidence priority, and a disparity priority. Hole rendering may be applied to a target patch including a hole pixel having a highest priority. The hole pixel may be restored by searching for a source patch most similar to a background of the target patch, and copying a pixel in the found source patch into a hole pixel of the target patch.

  • Patent number: 9158279
    Abstract: A spatial light modulator may include a refraction layer including first and second regions with refractive indices different from each other; and/or a metal thin film on a lower face of the refraction layer configured to generate surface plasmons due to light incident on the metal thin film via the refraction layer. When first light is incident on the refraction layer, a phase difference between light reflected by the first and second regions may occur. A spatial light modulator may include a metal thin film and a refraction layer on the metal thin film. The refraction layer may include a first region with a first refractive index and a second region with a second refractive index different from the first refractive index. When first light is incident on the refraction layer, there may be a phase difference between light reflected from the first and second regions.

  • Patent number: 9122244
    Abstract: A holography device may include a light reaction layer configured to react with light to form and remove a diffraction grating, and a metal thin film on the light reaction layer. When first light is incident on the metal thin film while the grating is formed in the light reaction layer, surface plasmon formed on the metal thin film may be diffracted so as to output a holography image. A method of processing a holography image may include recording the image on a holography device by irradiating first light to a light reaction layer to form a diffraction grating, outputting the image by irradiating second light to a metal thin film on the light reaction layer to diffract surface plasmon formed on the metal thin film, and deleting the image from the holography device by irradiating third light to the light reaction layer to remove the grating.
