Adaptive image acquisition and display using multi-focal display
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for capturing and rendering an object on a multi-focal display, the method comprising:
- acquiring a set of at least two images of an object at different acquisition settings;
for at least one of the images, determining the acquisition setting for the image based at least in part on content of previously acquired images and also at least in part on reconstruction of the object on a multi-focal display that renders objects at a plurality of renderable volumes, wherein determining the acquisition setting for the image is based on optimizing a metric that is a function of both the acquisition settings and of locations of the renderable volumes of the multi-focal display, by iteratively;
optimizing the metric as a function of the acquisition settings while holding constant the locations of the renderable volumes of the multi-focal display; and
optimizing the metric as a function of the locations of the renderable volumes of the multi-focal display while holding constant the acquisition settings; and
rendering the object on the multi-focal display from the acquired set of images of the object.

Abstract
Multiframe reconstruction combines a set of acquired images into a reconstructed image. Here, which images to acquire are selected based at least in part on the content of previously acquired images. In one approach, a set of at least three images of an object are acquired at different acquisition settings. For at least one of the images in the set, the acquisition setting for the image is determined based at least in part on the content of previously acquired images. Multiframe image reconstruction, preferably via a multi-focal display, is applied to the set of acquired images to synthesize a reconstructed image of the object.

6. A method for capturing and rendering an object on a multi-focal display, the method comprising:
-
acquiring a set of at least three images of an object at different acquisition settings; for at least one of the images, determining the acquisition setting for the image based at least in part on content of previously acquired images and also at least in part on reconstruction of the object on a multi-focal display that renders objects at a plurality of renderable volumes; wherein the steps of acquiring a set of images and determining an acquisition setting comprise; acquiring at least two initial images at acquisition settings that do not depend on the content of previously acquired images; and for every image acquired after the initial images, determining the acquisition setting for the image based at least in part on the content of previously acquired images and also at least in part on reconstruction of the object on the multi-focal display; and rendering the object on the multi-focal display from the acquired set of images of the object. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
