Simplification of integral imaging system by using a lenticular lens array

Abstract

Integral imaging is a 3D display technology without any additional equipment. A new system is proposed in this paper, which uses a lenticular lens array to replace the lens array in the conventional integral imaging system. The lenticular integral imaging system reduces the complexity and the price of integral imaging system. The positive characteristics of conventional integral imaging system, such as full parallax and quasi-continuous view points, are still kept on the proposed system in horizontal direction. Optical results show that the time for calculating the elemental images is reduced by 25% compared with the conventional one. The resolution of integrated image in vertical direction is 4 times higher than that of conventional system. This proposed system opens a new way on application of integral imaging.
