Visual experience for autostereoscopic 3D projection display

In order to investigate visual experience for watching the autostereoscopic three‐dimensional (3D) projection display, we conduct a subjective evaluation experiment by a questionnaire when viewing video clips. Factor analysis is adopted to classify the evaluation items for the perpetual constructs of visual experience. Then a mixed design with repeated measurement analysis of variance with dimension and display duration as factors is carried out on the evaluation data to check the factorial effects and interactions for statistical significance. The results of factor analysis extract five factors including visual comfort, image quality, distortion, naturalness, and presence, which can be used as comprehensive indicators to evaluate the autostereoscopic 3D projection display. The results of analysis of variance indicate that image quality, which is used to assess two‐dimensional contents, is no longer applicable. It is necessary to give consideration to depth when evaluating 3D visual experience. Although 3D scenes enhance the overall subjective performance such as naturalness and presence, the health issues and stereoscopic distortion related to the introduction of depth cannot be ignored.     

Relationship between age differences and display parameters on visual comfort for autostereoscopic display

In order to investigate the age differences for viewing autostereoscopic display, we conduct a 3 × 3 × 3 × 4 mixed design with repeated measurement experiment by using three‐dimensional (3D) video clips. Visual comfort is compared between four age groups with a questionnaire. Results of subjective evaluation are compared through the chi‐square test to check if there is a statistical significance between groups with respect to the distribution of number and proportion according to five levels of visual comfort. Then we examine age differences of visual comfort under three key display parameters including crosstalk, ambient illumination, and disparity. The results indicate that the degree of comfort varies considerably among age groups as the parameters of the display system change. Although the seniors feel most discomfort and the children get best experience in general, there is no statistical difference among the subjects when the ambient illumination is medium or disparity is large. So, it is necessary to take account of the age differences in designing 3D display parameters for enhancing visual comfort.     

GPU rendering for tiled multi-projector autostereoscopic display based on chromium

In this paper, a GPU-based high-resolution multiview rendering approach (HRMVRA) is presented and incorporated into Chromium, and then a tiled multi-projector autostereoscopic display system (TMPADS) based on HRMVRA is constructed to provide an immersing 3D perception and a compelling sense of presence without the need of glasses for viewers. HRMVRA renders the multiview images in real time in only one pass, though the traditional multiview rendering approaches based on Chromium render the multiviews in multiple passes. The hardware of the autostereoscopic display system consists of a front-projection screen that covers an area of 360×160 square centimeters, twenty four projectors and thirteen computers connected with the gigabit Ethernet. TMPADS is well scalable since both the resolution and the number of the rendered views are configurable. It is shown by the experiments that HRMVRA has more than five times performance of the traditional high-resolution multiview parallax rendering based on Chromium. Most existing single-view OpenGL applications (e.g., some games like Quake III) can run directly on TMPADS without any source-code modification or re-compiling.     

Moiré‐reduction methods for integral videography autostereoscopic display with color‐filter LCD

Abstract— Moiré‐reduction methods for integral videography displays are proposed. Integral videography is based on the principles of integral photography and extended real‐time video processing. There are two moiré‐reduction methods that can be used for integral videography displays that have a lens array and a liquid‐crystal display. The first is color moiré, and the second is intensity moiré. To reduce color moiré, an optimized color‐filter layout in the liquid‐crystal display was used. To reduce intensity moiré, a defocusing method was used. Adesign of a viewing area for the integral videography display is also presented. To control the viewing area, the lens pitch and the shape of the integral videography elemental image was changed. A 5‐in. integral videography display was implemented by using the proposed methods, and an integral videography display was evaluated.     

Achieving a foldable and durable OLED display with BT.2020 color space using innovative color filter structure

A foldable active‐matrix organic light‐emitting diode display capable of enduring very severe folding and environmental impact was obtained using symmetric panel stacking with an innovative design of color filter structure. The display was subjected to in situ folding cycle under an ambient test condition of 60°C/90% relative humidity, and no performance degradation was found for the display and the touch function during and after the test. In addition, 95% coverage of BT.2020 color space was obtained without additional power consumption compared with that of the panel with National Television System Committee (NTSC) color space.     

Quantum dot light emitting devices for photomedical applications

While OLEDs have struggled to find a niche lighting application that can fully take advantage of their unique form factors as thin, flexible, lightweight and uniformly large‐area luminaire, photomedical researchers have been in search of low‐cost, effective illumination devices with such form factors that could facilitate widespread clinical applications of photodynamic therapy (PDT) or photobiomodulation (PBM). Although existing OLEDs with either fluorescent or phosphorescent emitters cannot achieve the required high power density at the right wavelength windows for photomedicine, the recently developed ultrabright and efficient deep red quantum dot light emitting devices (QLEDs) can nicely fit into this niche. Here, we report for the first time the in‐vitro study to demonstrate that this QLED‐based photomedical approach could increase cell metabolism over control systems for PBM and kill cancerous cells efficiently for PDT. The perspective of developing wavelength‐specific, flexible QLEDs for two critical photomedical fields (wound repair and cancer treatment) will be presented with their potential impacts summarized. The work promises to generate flexible QLED‐based light sources that could enable the widespread use and clinical acceptance of photomedical strategies including PDT and PBM.     

Automatic color correction for multi-projector display systems

A hierarchical color correction framework is presented to automatically calibrate multiple projectors. The proposed framework consists of two sub-methods: a simple color correction method and an advanced color correction method. An automatic selection scheme is designed to choose between the two sub-methods according to specific conditions. The simple color correction method uses a parameter model to map projected images into the Common Achievable Response (CAR) space for color consistent outputs. The advanced color correction method takes the projector properties, the display surface optical properties, and the relative distances between the screen and the projectors into consideration. A pre-processing step is designed to eliminate isolated abnormal sampling points, resulting in better quality outputs. In the experiment part, the effectiveness of the proposed framework is verified with both front projection systems and rear projection systems. The experimental results show that the proposed framework achieves better calibration results comparing with traditional methods.

Quantization of color images for display/printing on limited color output devices

A large number of output devices in use today are either bilevel or can produce only a limited number of display levels (gray-scale or color). Most color graphics terminals conforming to Enhanced Graphics Adapter (EGA), Professional Graphics Adapter (PGA), or Video Graphics Array (VGA) standards can display from 16–256 colors, whereas real-world (externally acquired) images constitute typically 16M colors. In this paper, a new color quantization algorithm has been proposed which maps an original image into an output image with a limited number of colors, while still preserving the image quality. The algorithm itself is based on the concepts of vector quantization where a color vector is defined by red, green, and blue components and, based on a random sampling of the input image, a color mapping table is generated. The random sampling provides an estimate of the color distribution of the input image, which is then further combined by a clustering technique to derive the desired number of output colors. A mapping process results in a limited-color output image which is optionally preprocessed (in cases where the number of output colors is very small) by a pseudo-random dithering algorithm rendering a high-quality output. This postprocessing step is particularly useful in images with very few output colors, e.g., 16. Through examples, it is shown that input images with over 16M colors can be easily displayed in as few as 16 colors, with negligible degradation in quality.

An additive manufacturing filter for topology optimization of print-ready designs

Additive manufacturing (AM) offers exciting opportunities to manufacture parts of unprecedented complexity. Topology optimization is essential to fully exploit this capability. However, AM processes have specific limitations as well. When these are not considered during design optimization, modifications are generally needed in post-processing, which add costs and reduce the optimized performance. This paper presents a filter that incorporates the main characteristics of a generic AM process, and that can easily be included in conventional density-based topology optimization procedures. Use of this filter ensures that optimized designs comply with typical geometrical AM restrictions. Its performance is illustrated on compliance minimization problems, and a 2D Matlab implementation is provided.

This study investigates the effects of color sample display and color sample grouping on the usability (task efficiency and user preference) of a color combination interface. A 180-subject nested design experiment tested each of the three levels of color sample grouping (associative color number, color series, and product section) against each of the two levels of color sample display (color chip, product thumbnail) for efficiency and effectiveness (search time and error rate). A separate 30-subject experiment evaluated user preference.

An improved algorithm for the display of nucleic acid secondary structures is presented. It is particularly suitable for large sequence segments and it automatically generates an aesthetically pleasing display of the structure with very limited overlap of strands. Structural similarities in different structures are conserved in the display thus greatly aiding structural homology comparisons.
