A systematic approach to producing multi-dimensional photon images on a computer platform having applications to a plurality of input image(s) from various sources, and applications to coordinate and adjust numerous variables which determine the quality of the image, such as the size of the imported images, the output image size, the resolving power of the viewing screen and the width of the resolving elements, the dots per inch of the output device (or pixels per inch), the desired nearest object, the desired furthest object and the determination of the central or the 'key subject', rules of interphasing, the number of frames or layers, the minimum parallax, and the maximum parallax, and, thus, provide a digital multi-dimensional image without jumping images or fuzzy features or other visual distortions by creating high quality output images both in the form of a printed hardcopy or as a viewed image on an appropriate viewing device. The digital multi-dimensional image platform based system controls the position and path of light from the original object to the human visual system.

A system for printing on lenticular sheets, including a printer having a lenticular sheet feed tray for holding at least one lenticular sheet having a plurality of lenticules; a laterally reciprocating lenticular sheet sensor flushly disposed on the lenticular sheet feed tray for sensing parameters of the plurality of lenticules; a computing system in communication with the printer and the laterally reciprocating lenticular sheet sensor and configured to execute software modules for adapting an interphased graphical image to the parameters and printing the adapted interphased graphical image on the at least one lenticular sheet. Methods for printing on lenticular sheet and electronic systems for printing on lenticular sheet are also included.

System and method for printing on lenticular sheets

The method for making a container includes providing a first heated conveyor having a first belt, the first belt including a plurality of heated shoes; providing a second conveyor having a second belt, the first belt and the second belt being substantially overlapping to provide a nip between at least one of the plurality of heated shoes and the second belt, the first and the second belts traveling in a common direction; placing a container on the second belt prior to the nip, the container having a opening disposed therethrough; placing a piece of lenticular material over the opening; and bonding the piece of lenticular material to the opening in the nip.

Microlens windows and interphased images for packaging and printing and methods for manufacture

The present microlens for packaging and printing includes a package including a body; and a microlens window located on the body to display at least one graphical image in a first portion of the microlens window and the contents of the package through a second portion of the microlens window.

A two-dimensional image is displayed and a grey level image is drawn on said two-dimensional image defining a depth map. A stereo image pair is generated based on the depth map and an anaglyph image of the stereo image pair is displayed. Edits of the depth map are displayed by anaglyph image. A plurality of projection frames are generated based on the depth map, and interlaced and printed for viewing through a micro optical media. Optionally, a layered image is extracted from the two-dimensional image and the plurality of projection frames have an alignment correction shift to center the apparent position of the image. A measured depth map is optionally input, and a stereo pair is optionally input, with a depth map calculated based on the pair. The user selectively modifies the calculated and measured depth map, and the extracted layers, using painted grey levels. A ray trace optionally modifies the interlacing for optimization to a particular media.

Multi-dimensional images system for digital image input and output

A plurality of input digital pixel images, having differing pixel array sizes, are scaled to a plurality of common pixel dimension input images based on a printer resolution value, a data characterizing dimensions of the printed image, and a final size value for at least one of the plurality of digital pixel images. A lenticule resolution data is received. A composite image file is formed of the plurality of scaled input digital pixel images, and at least one left-right image file pair is generated from the composite image file. The left-right image file pair are interlaced and printed on a printer associated with the printer resolution value.

Method for scaling and interlacing multidimensional and motion images

Multiple left-eye, right-eye three images of a ground area are obtained from an aerial or satellite platform. The left-eye, right-eye images are transferred to a digital processor which rasterizes and interleaves the images to an output file for printing. The output file is printed on a hard copy medium and overlaid with a microlens sheet having a plurality of lenses. The lenses refract the printed image such that a viewer sees from a first position relative to the hard copy a three-dimensional image of the ground area as seen from a first aerial or satellite viewing position and, from a second position relative to the hard copy, sees a three-dimensional image of the ground area as seen from a second aerial or satellite viewing position. Optionally, the interleaving and the microlenses are such that a viewer can obtain a 360 degree view, of three dimensional images of the ground area by rotating the hard copy through a plurality of viewing positions.

Multiple angle display produced from remote optical sensing devices

Images of an object or geographical area obtained for a plurality of optical bands. The images are transferred to a digital processor which rasterizes and interleaves the images to an output file for printing. The output file is printed in an alignment with a microlens sheet having a plurality of lenses. The lenses refract the printed image such that a viewer sees from a first position relative to the hard copy an image corresponding to the object or geographical area as seen in a first frequency band of the optical spectrum and, from a second viewing position sees an image corresponding to the object or geographical area as seen in a second frequency band of the optical spectrum. At least one of the first and second frequency bands may be a non-visible band. The viewed images may include an indicia of the optical band corresponding to the image.

Multi-spectral display

A two-dimensional image file is transferred from a client via the Internet or other data transfer network to a server having a processor for performing selectable image data processing, according to a stored program. The processor generates a file for output, formatting and fixation on a micro-optical material. The image fixed on the micro-optical material is seen by the unaided eye as three dimensional, or an action, zoom, flip, or morphing sequence, depending on the image processing selected. For three-dimensional imaging the processor assigns regions within the image to different image surfaces, and displaces each according to multiple viewing angles. The image surfaces are interphased into a single data file which is output and fixed, by printing or photographic processes, on the micro-optical material. The printed image is either printed directly on the micro-optical material or laminated. The image may also be viewed through a CRT having an overlaid micro-optical material.

Multi-dimensional image system for digital image input and output

One or more pixel images are stored in a programmable computer. A lenticular sheet having a plurality of lenticules is placed in an inkjet printer having a printhead and a light sensor. The light sensor scans across the lenticular sheet and generates a scan data. A lenticular data is calculated based on the scan data, the lenticular data representing the lenticule spacing or frequency. At least a portion of the pixel images are formatted with a pixel spacing based on the lenticular data and printed. The formatting aligns the pixels with the lenticules.
