  • Patent number: 6270931
    Abstract: A method of exposing an integral imaging element having: an integral lens sheet with opposed front and back surfaces; a light sensitive layer positioned behind the back surface; and an anti-halation layer between the light sensitive layer and the back surface; the method comprising the steps of: simultaneously exposing a major portion of the area of the light sensitive layer with light from behind the light sensitive layer, or simultaneously exposing the light sensitive layer to all of an integral image from behind the light sensitive layer.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 5946509
    Abstract: A system for producing an integral image includes a camera having spacially adjustable multiple lens for capturing different views of a scene on film and apparatus for forming an integral image of the captured views as a function of the camera lens spacing.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 5752111
    Abstract: A multi-lens camera, comprising:a housing;at least two lenses spaced apart on the housing to obtain different views of a single scene for capturing as a set of simultaneously captured separate frames;a status indicator which provides an indication of at least one condition under which the simultaneously captured frames were captured; anda recorder which can record the indication in association with the set.A method of processing a film exposed by the camera, and an apparatus for performing the method, are also provided.

  • Patent number: 5737087
    Abstract: The invention is directed to a method and apparatus for forming a hard copy motion image from a video motion sequence recorded on a video recording device. The video motion sequence is played and an operator selects a series of motion containing views which are stored in memory. An integral image is printed on a printing medium such that the selected motion containing views can be viewed in sequence by altering the angle between a viewer's eyes and a lenticular or barrier screen located on the printing medium.

  • Patent number: 5689372
    Abstract: A method of exposing an integral imaging element having: an integral lens sheet with opposed front and back surfaces; and a light sensitive layer positioned behind the back surface;the method comprising the steps of:exposing the light sensitive layer with light from behind the back surface;wherein the element additionally has an anti-halation layer on at least a portion of the front surface of the lens sheet which anti-halation layer, during exposure, reduces the amount of exposing light which would otherwise be reflected back toward the light sensitive layer from the front surface.A system which can use the above method, and an integral image element of a type which can be produced by it, are also described.
