ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD FOR PROCESSING COMPUTER-GENERATED HOLOGRAPHY - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17854925 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD FOR PROCESSING COMPUTER-GENERATED HOLOGRAPHY

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an electronic device and method for processing computer-generated holography (CGH). The device generates multiple depth layers with different depth information from image data at one viewpoint and then reprojects each layer based on the user's pose information at a different viewpoint to generate CGH.

  • The electronic device processes computer-generated holography (CGH).
  • It generates multiple depth layers with different depth information.
  • The depth layers are based on image data captured from one viewpoint.
  • The device reprojects each depth layer based on the user's pose information.
  • The user's pose information is captured from a different viewpoint.
  • The reprojected depth layers are used to generate computer-generated holography (CGH).

Potential Applications

This technology has potential applications in various fields, including:

  • Virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) applications.
  • 3D visualization and imaging.
  • Medical imaging and diagnostics.

Original Abstract Submitted

Provided are an electronic device for processing computer-generated holography (CGH) and a method thereof. The electronic device generates a plurality of depth layers (computer-generated holography) having different depth information from image data at a first view point, and reprojects each of the plurality of depth layers based on the user's pose information at the second view point different from the first view point to generates CGH.
