Method and apparatus for creating geometric depth images using computer graphics.

摘要

A method and apparatus in which a geometric graphic image of an object to be rendered as a depth image is created. The viewpoint of the viewer of the depth image is determined by the user. Once the viewpoint is determined the number of views is automatically determined along with the spacing between or positions of the views. The system adjusts the aspect ratio of each view and rotates the object prior to rendering. The rendered views are then stored as electronic interleaved images which are used to produce a depth image, such as a lenticular print.
