Abstract:
A multifocal display device has a focus tunable lens (FTL) and a controller configured to shift a focus of the FTL from a first focal plane to a second focal plane by applying a compensated control signal to the FTL. The controller is configured to generate a current compensated control signal value, which is a value of the compensated control signal for a current point in time, based on one or more previous compensated control signal values, which are values of the compensated control signal at one or more previous points in time.
Abstract:
An apparatus for estimating an overall mixing time, where the apparatus comprises a processing element configured to determine differences between energy profiles of a first room impulse response of the first pair of room impulse responses and a second room impulse response of the first pair of room impulse responses at a plurality of different sample times of the first pair of room impulse responses, set a sample time of the plurality of sample times as a mixing time for the first pair of room impulse responses at which the difference between the energy profiles of the first room impulse response and the second room impulse response of the first pair of room impulse responses is equal to or below a threshold value, and determine the overall mixing time based on the mixing time for the first pair of room impulse responses.
Abstract:
An optical system for a display device for head mounting is described. In particular a Maxwellian display device, with an enlarged eye-box is described. The optical system includes a beam forming element configured to converge multiple sets of light beams into at least two points of convergence (e.g., on an exit pupil of the optical system or of the display device using the optical system), and at least one optical arrangement comprising an input for input light beams, at least one beam splitter and at least three reflectors. The at least one beam splitter and at least three reflectors are positioned to form the multiple sets of the light beams from the input light beams such that the multiple sets of the light beams have equally long beam paths from the input to the beam forming element. Each point of convergence is a convergent viewing point for a user, thus enlarging the eye-box.
Abstract:
A focus tunable optical system includes a lens assembly. The lens assembly includes: focus tunable lenses (FTLs) coaxially disposed along an optical axis, each FTL contributing to an optical power of the lens assembly; and a controller configured to control the optical power of the lens assembly by applying to each FTL a respective control signal, thereby generating a periodic optical response of the respective FTL. The optical response of each FTL is substantially different from the optical response of any other FTL of the plurality of FTLs.
Abstract:
An image transmission device of a multifocal display system is described, for transmitting a set of N composite images based on a set of N primary images to an image reception device. N is greater or equal 2, and each of the N primary images has a focus distance associated therewith. The image transmission device includes processing circuitry configured to partition each of the N primary images into image portions and generate the N composite images by placing each image portion of each of the N primary images into one of the N composite images such that each of the N composite images comprises image portions from two or more of the N primary images. A communication interface transmits the N composite images to the image reception device (103).
Abstract:
A driver assistance system detects lane markings in a perspective image of a road in front of a vehicle. The driver assistance system extracts a plurality of features, in particular lane markings, from the perspective image for generating a set of feature coordinates, in particular lane marking coordinates. The system generates a plurality of pairs of feature coordinates, each pair defining a straight line, and estimates a lane curvature on the basis of a subset of the pairs of feature coordinates. For each pair a straight line defined by the pair intersects a predefined target portion of the perspective image, the predefined target portion including a plurality of possible positions of a vanishing point.
Abstract:
The disclosure provides a multifocal display device, comprising a display configured to generate an image, and a controller configured to control the display according to a bit sequence provided over a determined time period to generate the image with one or more colors. The bit sequence includes for each color a subsequence of bits of different significance. Neither the first bit nor the last bit of the subsequence for the respective color is the most significant bit of the subsequence.
