Abstract

We propose to use electronically synthesized lenslet arrays in three-dimensional integral imaging, which will permit control of lenslet positions and characteristics in real time. We can then potentially achieve improvements in the quality of reconstructured three-dimensional images by adopting a moving-lenslet-array technique with no mechanical movement of optical components. We present preliminary experiments to show the feasibility of our approach with an off-the-shelf liquid-crystal display.
