LENTICULAR IMAGE GENERATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240201512 titled 'LENTICULAR IMAGE GENERATION
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes methods and apparatus for creating images for lenticular displays. A fixed mesh is generated offline, and real-time texture information is mapped to this mesh. Offline processes involve rendering UV map views for multiple object viewpoints, generating view maps from display calibration data, and creating a lenticular to UV map. Real-time processes capture texture information and generate lenticular images for multiple viewpoints based on the lenticular to UV map.

Original Abstract Submitted
methods and apparatus for generating images to be displayed on lenticular displays. in these methods, a fixed mesh is generated offline, and in real-time texture information is mapped to the fixed mesh. in an offline process, texture and 3d mesh information for an object is used to render uv map views for multiple viewpoints of the object, view maps are generated from display calibration data, and a lenticular to uv map is generated from the uv map views and view maps. in real-time, texture information is captured, and a composite process is performed that generates a lenticular image for multiple viewpoints by sampling pixels from the texture based on the lenticular to uv map. the lenticular image is then displayed on the lenticular display. detected positions of persons in the environment may be used to limit the number of viewpoints that are generated during the real-time composite process.
