  • Patent number: 12111476
    Abstract: An image display apparatus includes a display device configured to display an image to a user, an eyepiece optical system configured to guide the image displayed on the display device to the user, and a guide mechanism configured to move the display device in an optical axis direction of the eyepiece optical system. The guide mechanism guides a movement of the display device on both sides of the display device in a direction orthogonal to an optical axis of the eyepiece optical system, and overlaps the eyepiece optical system when viewed from the optical axis direction.

  • Patent number: 11880935
    Abstract: An image-based method of modeling and rendering a three-dimensional model of an object is provided. The method comprises: obtaining a three-dimensional point cloud at each frame of a synchronized, multi-view video of an object, wherein the video comprises a plurality of frames; extracting a feature descriptor for each point in the point cloud for the plurality of frames without storing the feature descriptor for each frame; producing a two-dimensional feature map for a target camera; and using an anti-aliased convolutional neural network to decode the feature map into an image and a foreground mask.

  • Patent number: 11861062
    Abstract: A calibration platform may display, via an optical see-through head-mounted display (OST-HMD), a virtual image having at least one feature. The calibration platform may determine, based on information relating to a gaze of a user wearing the OST-HMD, that the user performed a voluntary eye blink to indicate that the at least one feature of the virtual image appears to the user to be aligned with at least one point on the three-dimensional real-world object. The calibration platform may record an alignment measurement based on a position of the at least one point on the three-dimensional real-world object in a real-world coordinate system based on a time when the user performed the voluntary eye blink. Accordingly, the alignment measurement may be used to generate a function providing a mapping between three-dimensional points in the real-world coordinate system and corresponding points in a display space of the OST-HMD.

  • Patent number: 11843763
    Abstract: Provided is a display method that prevents degradation of image quality due to ghosting. The display method performed with a display apparatus includes a viewpoint position detection step (S1) for detecting a viewpoint position d that is an interval between a reflection screen and a viewer ?, a diffusion property control step (S2) for controlling a diffusion property of the reflection screen 40 in accordance with the viewpoint position d, and a projection step for projecting multiple viewpoint video images having disparity from multiple projectors to the reflection screen. The diffusion property control step (S2) includes controlling the diffusion property of the reflection screen 40 by varying a voltage or a duty cycle of an ac signal that is applied to a diffuser layer included in the reflection screen.
