摘要： A pair of optical prisms arranged in a complementary relationship provides for anamorphic magnification and cooperates with a refractive or diffractive element having at least one axis of effective cylindrical curvature, wherein each at least one axis of effective cylindrical curvature and the apexes of the pair of optical prisms are all substantially parallel to one another. The refractive or diffractive element generates an aberration as a result of rotation thereof about an axis parallel to the at least one axis of effective cylindrical curvature that at least partially compensates a corresponding aberration generated by the pair of optical prisms.

摘要： An optical subsystem of a near-eye display system provides for projecting light of a virtual image of image content to an eye location, and provides for collecting light of the virtual image onto an exit pupil on a surface proximate to an outer surface of an eye when at the eye location. A subpupil modulator within an aperture in cooperation with the optical subsystem provides for forming a plurality of subpupils within the exit pupil, provides for less than all of the light of the virtual image associated with one or more less than all of the plurality of subpupils to be projected to the eye location, and provides for individually and independently controlling an intensity of the light through each activated subpupil to a level less than a maximum level of intensity.

摘要： A selected color component (R, G, B) for each of a plurality of image pixels (32, P) of an image cell (42, C) is encoded to form a corresponding color component (ER, EG, EB) of a corresponding plurality of encoded pixels (40, PE) in one-to-one correspondence with the image pixels (32, P). A bit length of each color component (ER, EG, EB) of an encoded pixel (40, PE) is less than that of a corresponding image pixel (32, P). The encoded pixels (40, PE) are subsequently decoded to generate a corresponding decoded image cell (64, C′k) containing decoded image pixels (62, P′) in one-to-one correspondence with both the encoded pixels (40, PE) and with the original image pixels (32, P), of the same bit length as the original image pixels (32, P), and containing extended color information in excess of the corresponding base color information contained in the corresponding most-significant (MS) portions of the color components (R, G, B) of the original image pixels (32, P) having the same bit length as the encoded color components (ER, EG, EB).

摘要： A relatively higher resolution digitized image organized as a plurality of first kernel arrays, each with a plurality of pixels, is transformed into a corresponding relatively-smaller second kernel array of a relatively-lower-resolution image and an associated set of remaining pixels. Down-sampled pixels of the second kernel array are generated from linear interpolation of original pixels of the first kernel array. Associated interpolation coefficients incorporate perturbations to locations of the down-sampled pixels that are symmetric with respect to centers of the first and second kernel arrays. Down-sampled pixels of the second kernel array can be recombined with the associated set of remaining pixels to reconstruct the relatively higher resolution digitized image substantially without loss of associated information, or used directly to reconstruct an approximation thereof, with associated encoding and decoding processes adapted to reduce the susceptibility of image reconstruction errors caused by subsequent image compression.

摘要： An optical subsystem of a near-eye display system provides for projecting light of a virtual image of image content to an eye location, and provides for collecting light of the virtual image onto an exit pupil on a surface proximate to an outer surface of an eye when at the eye location. A subpupil modulator within an aperture in cooperation with the optical subsystem provides for forming a plurality of subpupils on a curved surface within the exit pupil, and provides for less than all of the light of the virtual image associated with one or more less than all of the plurality of subpupils to be projected to the eye location.

摘要： Initial low-quality images of a progressively-displayed high-definition image are masked with corresponding progressively-revealing mask filters or masking algorithms to realistically obscure such low quality and therefore to provide a realistically appearing progressive presentation of the high-definition image.

摘要： A supplemental optic system supported by a forward support structure azimuthally hinged from a forward portion of a track of an overhead support system cooperates with a light projector operatively coupled to the track. The track is suspended from a slider operatively coupled to a support post depending from an associated ceiling mount structure. The position of the slider within the track provides for minimizing the torque on the support post as a result of the distribution of weights of the light projector and the supplemental optic system.

摘要： A relatively higher resolution digitized image (12) organized as a plurality of first kernel arrays (110), each with a plurality of pixels (37), is transformed into a corresponding relatively-smaller second kernel array (124) of a relatively-lower-resolution image (38) and an associated set (116, 118) of remaining pixels (37). Down-sampled pixels of the second kernel array (124) are generated from linear interpolation of original pixels (37) of the first kernel array (110). Associated interpolation coefficients incorporate perturbations to locations of the down-sampled pixels (37′) that are symmetric with respect to centers (128, 130) of the first (110) and second (124) kernel arrays. Down-sampled pixels (37′) of the second kernel array (124) can be recombined with the associated set (116, 118) of remaining pixels (37) to reconstruct the relatively higher resolution digitized image (12) substantially without loss of associated information, or used directly to reconstruct an approximation thereof, with associated encoding and decoding processes adapted to reduce the susceptibility of image reconstruction errors caused by subsequent image compression.
