Accurate 3D autostereoscopic display using optimized parameters through quantitative calibration.

Quality of three-dimensional (3D) autostereoscopic displays is mainly influenced by the mismatch between the optical apparatus setups and image generation algorithms. In this paper, we take the optical apparatus setups into consideration and present an accurate 3D autostereoscopic display method using optimized parameters through quantitative calibration. Rotational and translational alignments are operated quantitatively to rectify the optical apparatus. In addition, the main parameters in a 3D display are evaluated for accurate 3D image rendering. Using the proposed method, the 3D autostereoscopic display can be calibrated quantitatively and provide 3D images with accurate spatial information. Experiments verified the availability and feasibility of the proposed method.
