Optimization of light field display-camera configuration based on display properties in spectral domain

Opt Express. 2016 Feb 8;24(3):3067-88. doi: 10.1364/OE.24.003067.

Abstract

The visualization capability of a light field display is uniquely determined by its angular and spatial resolution referred to as display passband. In this paper we use a multidimensional sampling model for describing the display-camera channel. Based on the model, for a given display passband, we propose a methodology for determining the optimal distribution of ray generators in a projection-based light field display. We also discuss the required camera setup that can provide data with the necessary amount of details for such display that maximizes the visual quality and minimizes the amount of data.
