20090040196 | Method of controlling the display of various data in a vehicle and Opto-acoustic data unit - A method and apparatus for controlling the display of various data on a dual view screen in a vehicle in which the line of view of a driver is continually monitored and which in response to the driver directing his line of view to the screen, renders visible to him data relevant to the operation of the vehicle while optionally rendering invisible data not relevant to the operation of the vehicle otherwise viewable only by a passenger. | 02-12-2009 |
20090123030 | Method For The Autostereoscopic Presentation Of Image Information With Adaptation To Suit Changes In The Head Position Of The Observer - For continuous tracking without noticeable skips during physical changes in head position, the intensities of all subpixels of the matrix screen are reduced in order to form intensity focuses for subpixel groups behind barrier elements, which comprise a number n of subpixels, including a subpixel reserve, in the image lines. In the case of parallel alterations, these intensity focuses are then displaced by a constant absolute value continuously through directly adjacent subpixels and also through subpixel group boundaries with different stereo image views. Distance changes involve the intensity focuses being increasingly widened or compressed relative to the screen edges. The intensities of the individual subpixels can be altered by means of simple multiplication by standardized constant or variable intensity factors which can be ascertained as a function of motion. | 05-14-2009 |
20090278936 | METHOD FOR AUTOSTEREOSCOPICALLY PRODUCING THREE-DIMENSIONAL IMAGE INFORMATION FROM SCANNED SUB-PIXEL EXTRACTS AND DEVICE FOR CARRYING OUT SAID METHOD - A method for autostereoscopically producing three-dimensional image information from scanned subpixel extracts uses a multiplex track method (MTV) having a separating raster (TR) obliquely extended with respect to a matrix screen (MB) and an electronic tracking (TS) of viewing areas ibased on two separated image views (L, R), that adjacently disposes two or three subpixels (SP) of each pixel (P) of the two image views (L, R) in the actual subpixel extraction (SPA), continuously and alternatingly preserving each subpixel address and disposes said subpixels (SP) in an overlapping manner on each other with an offset, whereby the resolution loss effects the subpixels (SP) only. The crosstalk resulting from the inclination of the separating raster (TR) is reduced by a special structure of the subpixel extraction (SPA), wherein the resolution homogenisation in two directions of the screen is simultaneously preserved. The formation of the actual subpixel extraction (SPA) is carried out according to multiplex schemes (MUX | 11-12-2009 |
20100177382 | AUTOSTEREOSCOPIC IMAGE DISPLAY APPLIANCE FOR PRODUCING A FLOATING REAL STEREO IMAGE - Known image display appliances with relatively large appliance depth have parallel lens plates with rotation-symmetrical microlenses, wherein a real stereo image could be made visible directly using a matt screen by way of the microlenses optically imaging the non-inverted, non-rastered image information. Known image display appliances with a cylinder lens plate, the cylinder lenses of which image linearly, have hitherto not been used to produce a floating real stereo image. The image display appliance (BWG) according to the invention with a cylinder lens plate (ZLP) and a corresponding alternating raster of left and right image strips (BSR) is characterized in that each image strip (BSR) is displayed as side-inverted with respect to its arrangement in the original image information, and in that all image strips (BSR) are positioned with such gaps (R, r) to their two neighbouring image strips (BSR) on the display screen (BS) that the observer in the stereo image plane (SBE) which lies between the cylinder lens plane (ZLE) and the observer eye plane (BAE) obtains a gapless representation of the image information in the form of a floating real stereo image (SB). Advantageously, equidistant distances between the image strips (BSR) can be selected. Real articles which can be detected together by the observer without accommodation conflict (mixed reality applications) can be introduced into the stereo image plane | 07-15-2010 |
20100295928 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR THE AUTOSTEREOSCOPIC REPRESENTATION OF IMAGE INFORMATION - A method for the autostereoscopic representation of image information on a matrix screen on which image points are formed through a subpixel group, each with a plurality of subpixels, wherein two stereoscopic fields are imaged on one of two subgroups of the image points, and wherein light emanating from the two subgroups of image points is guided through a barrier raster into two adjacent viewing zones, and wherein a change of the viewer's head position is further detected, and activation of the subpixels is adapted to the change of the head position by shifting intensity centroids, in particular, within the image points in that, upon a change in the viewing distance between the head position and the matrix screen by adapting of weightings of intensities within the image points such that a lateral distance between the centroid of the intensity distributions in a left viewing zone and the centroid of the intensity distributions in a right viewing zone in a viewing plane remains constant. A respective device for the autostereoscopic representation of image information is described. | 11-25-2010 |
