Three-Dimensional Imaging, Visualization, and Display

This book will describe recent developments, as well as the prospects and challenges facing 3D moving picture systems and devices, including binocular, multi-view, holographic, and image reproduction techniques. Optical systems, display instruments, and image capture techniques will be covered. The online supplement will include full color movies of experiments describing recent advances in 3D movies. This is the first state-of-the-art book on this subject that efficiently integrating the background material with new advances and applications and includes movies of 3D display systems. Three-Dimensional Imaging, Visualization, and Display describes recent developments, as well as the prospects and challenges facing 3D imaging, visualization, and display systems and devices. With the rapid advances in electronics, hardware, and software, 3D imaging techniques can now be implemented with commercially available components and can be used for many applications. This volume discusses the state-of-the-art in 3D display and visualization technologies, including binocular, multi-view, holographic, and image reproduction and capture techniques. It also covers 3D optical systems, 3D display instruments, 3D imaging applications, and details several attractive methods for producing 3D moving pictures. This book integrates the background material with new advances and applications in the field, and the available online supplement will include full color videos of 3D display systems.
