Viewpoint-dependent stereoscopic display using interpolation of multiviewpoint images

This paper presents a novel approach to autostereoscopic display which can show viewpoint dependent images according to viewer's movement. This display system is not supported by a specialized display device but consists of a computer, a head tracking device, and a popular binocular stereoscopic display. The keypoint of our approach is based on the idea that the interpolation and reconstruction of multi-viewpoint images can provide a viewer with unlimited number of images according to his/her smooth movement. After describing the basic concepts, algorithms, and problems of the proposed method, the very successful experimental results, which are achieved for a real scene, are shown.
