Generating stereoscopic 3D from holoscopic 3D

Abstract

In this paper a single aperture motion picture camera based on holoscopic imaging used to generate high-resolution stereoscopic image. The idea of single aperture camera reduces the very cumbersome and expensive of dual cameras in stereoscopic production. The camera is known as light field camera, which was first proposed in 1908 by lippmann [1]. The rendering method relied on up-sampling, shift and integrating of different views to extract stereo images. This is the first experiment attempted to generate stereo form holoscopic content on motion capturing, where researchers so far have been experimenting on still images. In this paper presents motion picture image rendering on holoscopic content to generate content for stereoscopic systems. We have carried out experiments with focused plenoptic camera on a single stage omnidirectional integral camera arrangement with capturing both horizontal and vertical parallax, using a low cost lens array and relay lens. Our results show an improvement in the resolution of images with artefact free and also the rendered stereo content are played back on polarized stereoscopic system and anaglyph system to perceive the 3D depth using filter glasses in our experimental section.
