Abstract:
The present invention relates to an image display apparatus and method for displaying a three-dimensional (3D) image capable of interacting with a user, and provides a 3D image display apparatus and method that may interact with a user by reproducing a 3D image, generated by a conventional volume display apparatus, at a position different from a position at which the 3D image is generated, and by modifying and playing the reproduced 3D image based on a motion of the user. Also, the present invention enables the user to realistically interact with the 3D image by stimulating tactile sensation of the user through ultrasound.
Abstract:
A holographic printer using a vibration-free mechanical shutter is provided. A holographic printer, according to an embodiment of the present invention, comprises: a light source which emits light; a modulator which modulates the light emitted from the light source to generate a holographic fringe pattern in a hogel unit; a stage on which a holographic recording medium, on which a holographic fringe pattern generated by the modulator is to be recorded in a hogel unit, is placed; a driving part which moves a position of the stage in a hogel unit; and a shutter which periodically exposes, to the holographic recording medium, object light generated by the holographic fringe pattern generated by the modulator, wherein the shutter includes a rotating plate having a slit that exposes the object light by means of the holographic fringe pattern, and a motor rotating the rotating plate. Accordingly, by applying a mechanical shutter having a structure in which vibration does not occur to the holographic printer, it is possible to prevent degradation of hologram recording quality caused by vibration generated during opening/closing of the shutter.

There is provided a thin optical system for real-world occlusion in an augmented reality display. The optical system according to an embodiment includes: a first DCRA configured to reflect light beams focused on holes; a mask positioned on a light emitting surface of the first DCRA to pass or block the light beams emitted from the first DCRA; and a second DCRA configured to reflect the light beams which are focused on holes after passing through the mask. Accordingly, the optical system can implement real-world occlusion in the unit of pixel while having a thin form factor.

Provided is a method in which, when configuring an HUD that produces a holographic image at a distance using a holographic optical element (HOE), an HOE capable of correcting aberrations generated by a projection optical system is manufactured and used to improve the quality of an HUD image. A method for manufacturing an HOE for HUD according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises the steps of: measuring aberrations generated by an optical system that projects an image of a display device; recording the measured aberrations in a master HOE; reproducing an aberrated wavefront of the optical system by playing the master HOE on a display plane on which the image of the display device is expressed; and causing an interference of the reproduced aberrated wavefront and a spherical wavefront irradiated from the HUD image plane on which the image of the display device is created, and recording the interference in the HOE. Accordingly, when configuring the HUD producing an image at a distance using the HOE, the quality of the HUD image can be improved by measuring aberrations in the projection optical system, creating a master HOE that reproduces the measured aberrations, and manufacturing a HOE that corrects the aberrations, and correcting aberrations generated in the projection optical system.

There is provided an object attribute-based watermarking method for preventing leakage of a digital content. A video watermarking method according to an embodiment may acquire a requested video and watermarking information upon receiving a request for video streaming from a user, may determine some of objects appearing in the video according to the watermarking information, may transform attributes of the determined objects, and may stream the transformed video. Accordingly, by watermarking an attribute of an object appearing in a video differently according to a user and providing the video, a watermark may be difficult to perceive, robustness against various attacks may be guaranteed, and a leakage path of a content may be checked.
Abstract:
Provided is a cognitive experiment method for change in periphery region image quality for parameter determination of a foveated hologram. According to an embodiment, a cognitive experiment method for determining foveated image parameters includes: generating a foveated image which includes a foveal region and a periphery region while reducing image quality regarding the periphery region; displaying the generated foveated image; receiving an input of a response to image quality of the periphery region from a subject; and collecting information regarding appropriate image quality of the periphery region, based on the response inputted by the subject. Accordingly, in applying a foveated hologram generation algorithm for real-time reproduction, various parameters such as a boundary between a foveal region image and a periphery region image in a foveated hologram, and a degree of quality degradation of the periphery region image may be appropriately determined through a cognitive experiment.

Provided is a method for inserting a copyright information indication as a means for protecting the copyright of LF content which can be played back as multi-viewpoint images, wherein the copyright information indication is only inserted in images of a specific viewpoint. A method for generating multi-viewpoint images according to an embodiment of the present invention includes the steps of: generating multi-viewpoint images; inserting a specific information indication in images of a specific viewpoint among the generated multi-viewpoint images; and storing the multi-viewpoint images in which the specific information indication has been inserted. Accordingly, the copyright of LF content, which are expensive multi-viewpoint images, can be protected by inserting the copyright information indication only in the images of the specific viewpoint.
Abstract:
Provided are a method and an apparatus for printing a hologram by using a mask. The hologram printing method according to an embodiment generates a hologram fringe pattern, splits the hologram fringe pattern on a hogel basis, generates the split hogels, masks a part of the generated hogel, and prints the masked hogel on a hologram medium. Accordingly, an empty space which occurs between hogels when a hologram is printed is prevented from being generated by using a mask, so that a fill factor can be effectively enhanced, and eventually, image quality of a hologram can be enhanced.
