A. Hussein, S. Kishk, M. Abo-elsoud . Computational Technique of 3D Reconstruction in Integral Imaging using FPGA Hardware. International Journal of Computer Applications. 44, 3 ( April 2012), 36-40. DOI=10.5120/6246-8235
This paper presents hardware implementation for a computational 3D integral imaging reconstruction technique. The reconstruction technique is based on a single pixel extraction from corresponding elemental images of a 3D scene, which is formed using an integral imaging system. The proposed hardware exploits both of the parallel processing and memory organization features that is available in field-programmable gate array (FPGA) device to achieve several computational operations at real time. In this method the need for optical equipment such as micro-optics lens and special high-quality LCD to display 3D scene, which will make it suitable to field view TV application, is eliminated. Some experiments were carried out to show the feasibility of the proposed scheme, its result exposes that the hardware is able to process digital reconstruction at real time rate with low power consumption.
