Enhanced-resolution computational integral imaging reconstruction using an intermediate-view reconstruction technique

A new enhanced-resolution computational integral imaging reconstruction method employing an intermediate-view reconstruction (IVR) technique is presented. In the proposed method, as many intermediate elemental images as required can be synthesized from the limited number of picked-up elemental images by using the IVR technique. With sufficient overlapping of this increased number of elemental images in the reconstruction image plane, an enhanced-resolution 3-D image can be displayed. To show the feasibility of the proposed scheme, some experiments were performed, and their results are presented.
