Microscopic specimen was captured by an integral imaging microscope and displayed as a three-dimensional image by an integral imaging display system. We applied the generalized relationship between pickup and display using two different lens arrays to our integral imaging microscope and display system. In order to display three-dimensional microscopic image, scaling of the captured elemental images is required. We analyzed the effect of the scaling coefficient in terms of the distortion of the displayed three-dimensional image and the loss of the captured elemental images. In our experiment, microscopic specimen is picked up by an integral imaging microscope having $125{\mu}m$ elemental lens pitch and displayed as three-dimensional image by an integral imaging display system having 1mm elemental lens pitch. The scaling coefficient was chosen to minimize the elemental image loss.

In this paper, a new integral imaging method with horizontal parallax only is proposed by modified use of elemental images pickuped from conventional integral imaging. The modified elemental images are obtained by magnifying single horizontal elemental image vertically and from which 3D images could be reconstructed. The proposed method can provide us large reduction of transmission information data for elemental images by eliminating the vertical parallax. The feasibility of our approach is experimentally demonstrated and its results are presented.

In this paper, we propose a new method to correct the perspective distortion that occurs in the process of acquiring the integral images. In the proposed method, the distortion correction is based on the spectral characteristics of integral images. As element images of an integral image are repeated nearly periodically, its Fourier spectrum is given as an impulse train. On the contrary, the impulse train do not appear in the spectra of distorted images. In the proposed method, therefore, the perspective distortion parameters are detected by using the characteristics of the spectrum obtained through the Fourier transform, and then the distorted images are corrected by using the parameters. Through experiments, we verify that the proposed method effectively works for the perspective distortion correction.

Recently various types of curved integral imaging system have been reported for improvement of viewing angle. However, the optical implementation has been limited to only unidirectional system. In this paper, we propose a curved integral imaging (CII) system with additional use of a large-aperture ten in conventional II system and explain a generation scheme of elemental images in the proposed system. The proposed system provides full-directional curvature effect and has simple structure due to the use of well-fabricated flat devices. For the full-directional-curved II system, we perform my analysis based on Johns matrix and synthesize novel elemental images. To show the usefulness of synthesized elemental images, preliminary experiments were performed and some experimental results were presented.

집적 영상(Integral Imaging) 시스템은 관찰자가 특수안경의 착용 없이 육안으로 3 차원 영상을 볼 수 있는 무안경식 양안시차 디스플레이 방식 중 하나로, 수직, 수평 시차와 총천연색의 영상을 제공한다. 집적영상 시스템은 3 차원 정보를 2 차원 엘리멘탈 이미지 (Elemental image)의 형태로 저장하는데, 엘리멘탈 이미지는 조금씩 다른 방향에서 제한된 크기로 촬영된 이미지이다. 엘리멘탈 이미지는 컴퓨터 그래픽으로 만들어질 수도 있는데, 이를 이용하는 집적 영상 방식을 CG 직접 영상 시스템이라 한다. 이와 같이 컴퓨터 계산에 의해 엘리멘탈 이미지를 얻는 과정을 이미지 매핑 (Image mapping)이라 부른다. 이제까지 제안된 이미지 매핑 방식에는 점대점 (Point to Point), MVR (Multi-Viewpoint Rendering), PGR (Parallel Group Rendering) 이 있다. 그러나 이런 방식들은 계산량이 많거나 렌즈 어레이 개수의 증가에 의해 속도에 영향을 받는 단점이 있어, 아직 가상현실 같은 실시간 CG 응용 분야에 사용하기 어려운 문제가 있다. 본 논문에서는 VVR (Viewpoint Vector Rendering)이라는 기존의 방법과 비교해 향상된 새로운 이미지 매핑 방법을 제안한다. 먼저 VVR 개념을 자세히 설명한 후 VVR 을 사용한 집적 영상 시스템을 구현하여 MVR 방법과 비교 분석한 실험결과와 개선되어야 할 방향을 제시한다.

We proposed a new method to improve the resolution of elemental image set in the integral imaging system using super-resolution image reconstruction method. Adjacent elemental images have same image region which is projected from the common area of object. These projected images in the elemental image can be used for low resolution images of super-resolution method. Two methods for resolution improvement of elemental image set using super-resolution method are proposed. One is super-resolution among the elemental image sets and the other is among the elemental images. Simulation results are compared with resolution improved elemental image set using interpolated method.

We proposed a new method to improve the resolution of far object image in curving effective integral imaging system. Basically, the curving effective integral imaging(CEII) system can improve the resolution of the reconstructed images with an increased sampling rate of elemental images. However, in the case when an object located far from the lenslet array is picked up, the low resolution of the reconstructed images of the far object has been a primary problem because the sampling rate is very low. In order to solve this drawback, by using the direct pixel mapping(DPM) method the EIA picked up from a far object is transformed into a new EIA that virtually looks like the EIA picked up from the object originally located close to the lenslet array. From this new EIA, highly resolution-enhanced images of far object could be reconstructed in the CEII system. To show the feasibility of the proposed method, simulation results are compared with the conventional method.
