Abstract

A Multi-Layer Display (MLD) consists of two or more imaging planes separated by physical depth where the depth is a key component in creating a glasses-free 3D effect. Its core benefits include being viewable from multiple angles, having full panel resolution for 3D effects with no side effects of nausea or eye-strain. However, typically content must be designed for its optical configuration in foreground and background image pairs. A process was designed to give a consistent 3D effect in a 2-layer MLD from existing stereo video content in real-time. Optimizations to stereo matching algorithms that generate depth maps in real-time were specifically tailored for the optical characteristics and image processing algorithms of a MLD. The end-to-end process included improvements to the Hierarchical Belief Propagation (HBP) stereo matching algorithm, improvements to optical flow and temporal consistency. Imaging algorithms designed for the optical characteristics of a MLD provided some visual compensation for depth map inaccuracies. The result can be demonstrated in a PC environment, displayed on a 22” MLD, used in the casino slot market, with 8mm of panel seperation. Prior to this development, stereo content had not been used to achieve a depth-based 3D effect on a MLD in real-time
