  • Processing of images for 3D display
    Patent number: 6798409
    Abstract: A method and display are disclosed in which a representation of a 3D model is provided for presentation as a 3D image. The image may be presented under an array of spherical or lenticular microlenses so that different images are presented at different viewing angles. The images are rendered using a set of orthographic projections; this can avoid the need for multiple cameras or the highly computer intensive processing associated with generation of simulated camera images and can also give improved results as compared to prior art multiview images.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 7, 2001
    Date of Patent: September 28, 2004
    Assignee: British Broadcasting Corporation
    Inventors: Graham Alexander Thomas, Richard Fawconer Stevens
