Abstract
An autostereoscopic display system wherein an interdigitated stereogram is generated and displayed on an electronic display. The display includes a lenticular screen over the surface of the display which allows the user to observe the stereogram on the display and obtain a true stereoscopic effect. In accord with the invention, the resolution of master images is minimized and then the pixels from the master images are mapped to form the interdigitated stereogram. The optimum minimization of the resolution is obtained when the ratio of horizontal resolution to vertical resolution for the master images approximates the screen aspect ratio of the display. In this way, less computation is involved in remapping the pixels to form an interdigitated stereogram.

6. An autostereoscopic display system for generating stereoscopic images having a resolution of X by Y pixels, comprising:
-
N cameras each generating a master image having a resolution of approximately X/{square root}{square root over (N)} by Y/{square root}{square root over (N)};
a pixel mapper electronically coupled to the cameras, whereby selected pixels from each master images are interdigitated to form an interdigitated stereogram; and
an electronic display coupled to the pixel mapper and having a lenticular screen coupled to a surface of the display.
