Download or read book Cameras and Display Systems Towards Photorealistic 3D Holography written by Jin Li and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-11-26 with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents recent advances in three-dimensional (3D) imaging and display frameworks, encompassing three categories of 3D imaging and display technologies. The first category is nonphotorealistic 3D approaches based on conventional optical cameras to implement 3D stereoscopic observation of a scene. In the context of nonphotorealistic 3D imaging and reconstruction systems, the authors introduce general principles and also demonstrate camera calibration for 3D imaging, smart cameras, and full-link imaging methods using the optical modulation transfer function to improve imaging quality in conventional cameras. The second category is based on light-ray light field technology to achieve photorealistic 3D imaging and displays. In the context of light-ray light field systems, two approaches capable of light-ray light field 3D imaging by utilizing a camera array or a lens array are demonstrated. Accordingly, light-ray light field display approaches comprising head-mounted displays and integral displays are also introduced. The third category is also photorealistic 3D imaging and display technology, which is based on holography (i.e., diffraction or wavefront light field). In the corresponding holographic displays, the authors introduce 3D holographic displays from three elements: algorithms, devices, and systems, involving fast hologram generation algorithms, wide-viewing-angle display systems, and metasurface holography, etc. Including an investigative roadmap for future progress in optical imaging and 3D display systems, this book is essential reading for scientists and engineers in academia and industry who are interested in next-generation imaging and display concepts for 3D visual sensing systems.

Download or read book Displays written by Rolf R. Hainich and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2011-07-05 with total page 600 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the last decade, new displays have been developed at an ever-increasing pace: bulky cathode ray tubes have been replaced by flat panels and mobile phones, tablets, and navigation systems have proliferated. Seeing this explosion raises tantalizing questions about the future evolution of visual displays: Will printed displays be sold by the square yard and glued to the wall? Will disposable displays, powered by printed batteries and with built-in storage chips, talk to us from cereal boxes? Will we begin wearing display glasses that simulate any kind or number of virtual displays we would ever need? Will chip implants directly interface to our brains, eliminating the need for any displays at all? These and other questions are explored in Displays: Fundamentals & Applications, which describes existing and emerging display technology. The book begins by presenting the basics of wave optics, geometric optics, light modulation, visual perception, and display measures, along with the principles of holography. It then describes the technology and techniques behind projection displays, projector-camera systems, stereoscopic and autostereoscopic displays, computer-generated holography, and near-eye displays. In addition, the authors discuss how real-time computer graphics and computer vision enable the visualization of graphical 2D and 3D content. The text is complemented by more than 400 rich illustrations, which give readers a clear understanding of existing and emerging display technology.

Download or read book Digital Holography Applications and Emerging Technologies written by Peter Wai Ming Tsang and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2023-07-13 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the rapid growth of computing and display technologies, digital holography (DH) has undergone significant advancement in the past two decades. Contemporary research works have enabled holography, a technology which is originally intended for displaying three-dimensional (3-D) images, to be deployed in numerous scientific, engineering, and bio-medical applications. Notably, digital holography has been incorporated into quite a number of contemporary applications, such as, but limited to holographic cryptography, optical metrology, remote sensing and inspection, and more recently, quantum computing. The success attained with DH so far does not limit its development to its current state-of-the-art, but rather research on holography keeps on expanding, with new ideas and methods keep coming up in a sustainable manner. This Research Topic aims to collect representative works from experts in the field, with the aim of providing an insight on the overall picture on digital holography, as well as reporting existing methodologies and emerging technologies that are likely to have strong impact on future research directions. Participating in the Research Topic, either as authors or readers, also facilitates establishing a platform for researchers to network, and to share their knowledge.

Download or read book Optimization with Sparsity Inducing Penalties written by Francis Bach and published by . This book was released on 2011-12-23 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sparse estimation methods are aimed at using or obtaining parsimonious representations of data or models. They were first dedicated to linear variable selection but numerous extensions have now emerged such as structured sparsity or kernel selection. It turns out that many of the related estimation problems can be cast as convex optimization problems by regularizing the empirical risk with appropriate nonsmooth norms. Optimization with Sparsity-Inducing Penalties presents optimization tools and techniques dedicated to such sparsity-inducing penalties from a general perspective. It covers proximal methods, block-coordinate descent, reweighted ?2-penalized techniques, working-set and homotopy methods, as well as non-convex formulations and extensions, and provides an extensive set of experiments to compare various algorithms from a computational point of view. The presentation of Optimization with Sparsity-Inducing Penalties is essentially based on existing literature, but the process of constructing a general framework leads naturally to new results, connections and points of view. It is an ideal reference on the topic for anyone working in machine learning and related areas.
