Abstract: A three dimensional imaging system comprises a first screen having a plurality of transparent openings arranged in a uniform pattern extending in both the horizontal and vertical directions, and a recording medium spaced apart from the first screen for recording an array of images of an object at an instant in time, each image of the array of images reflecting a unique viewpoint of the object from a corresponding one of the plurality of transparent openings. A second screen is arranged between the first screen and the recording medium. The second screen has a plurality of transparent openings in a uniform pattern extending in both the horizontal and vertical directions to prevent adjacent images of the array from overlapping.
