Integral imaging system with enlarged horizontal viewing angle

Abstract

We developed a three-dimensional (3-D) imaging system with an enlarged horizontal viewing angle for integral imaging that uses our previously proposed method for controlling the ratio of the horizontal to vertical viewing angles by tilting the lens array used in a conventional integral imaging system. This ratio depends on the tilt angle of the lens array. We conducted an experiment to capture and display 3-D images and confirmed the validity of the proposed system.
