A Depth-Enhanced Holographic Super Multi-View Display Based on Depth Segmentation

A super multi-view (SMV) near-eye display (NED) effectively provides depth cues for three-dimensional (3D) display by projecting multiple viewpoint or parallax images onto the retina simultaneously. Previous SMV NED have suffered from a limited depth of field (DOF) due to a fixed image plane. In thi...

description A super multi-view (SMV) near-eye display (NED) effectively provides depth cues for three-dimensional (3D) display by projecting multiple viewpoint or parallax images onto the retina simultaneously. Previous SMV NED have suffered from a limited depth of field (DOF) due to a fixed image plane. In this paper, a holographic SMV Maxwellian display based on depth segmentation is proposed to enhance the DOF. The proposed approach involves capturing a set of parallax images and their corresponding depth maps. According to the depth maps, the parallax images are segmented into N sub-parallax images at different depth ranges. These sub-parallax images are then projected onto N image-recording planes (IRPs) of the corresponding depth for hologram computation. The wavefront at each IRP is calculated by multiplying the sub-parallax images with the corresponding spherical wave phases. Then, they are propagated to the hologram plane and added together to form a DOF-enhanced hologram. The simulation and experimental results are obtained to validate the effectiveness of the proposed method in extending the DOF of the holographic SMV displays, while accurately preserving occlusion.
