Techniques for manufacturing a light field print using a printing press. The techniques include: identifying at least one characteristic of the printing press at least in part by printing at least one calibration pattern; obtaining content to be rendered using the light field print, the content comprising multiple scene views; generating, based at least in part on the content and the at least one characteristic of the printing press, a front target pattern and a back target pattern; and using the printing press to: print the front target pattern on a first side of a substrate; and print the back target pattern on a second side of the substrate.

Techniques for controlling optical behavior of a multi-view display apparatus comprising a first layer comprising first optical elements and a second layer comprising second optical elements. The techniques include obtaining a plurality of scene views; obtaining information specifying a model of the multi-view display apparatus; obtaining information specifying at least one blurring transformation; and generating actuation signals for controlling the multi-view display apparatus to concurrently display a plurality of display views corresponding to the plurality of scene views, the actuation signals comprising first actuation signals for controlling the first optical elements and second actuation signals for controlling the second optical elements, the generating comprising: generating the first actuation signals and the second actuation signals based, at least in part, on the plurality of scene views, the information specifying the model of the multi-view display apparatus, and the information specifying the at least one blurring transformation.

Multi-view displays and associated systems and methods

A framework is presented for designing a class of distributed, asynchronous optimization algorithms realized as signal processing architectures utilizing various conservation principles. The architectures are specifically based on stationary conditions pertaining to primal and dual variables in a class of generally nonconvex optimization problems. The stationary conditions, which are closely related to the principles of stationary content and co-content that naturally arise from Tellegen's theorem in electrical networks, are transformed via a linear change of coordinates to obtain a set of linear and nonlinear maps that form the basis for implementation. The resulting algorithms can operate by processing a linear superposition of primal and dual decision variables using the associated maps, coupled using synchronous or asynchronous delay elements to form a distributed system. Tables are provided containing example elements that can be assembled to form various optimization algorithms directly from the associated problem statements.

Systems and methods for distributed solution of optimization problems

Methods and supporting systems for allocating a resource among multiple agents are disclosed. Multipoint-to-multipoint communication is established among the agents, with each agent using an amount of a resource. A first agent receives information associated with the resource usage of a second agent and determines the difference in resource usage between itself and the second agent. Based in part on the resource usage difference, the first agent is controlled to modify its use of the resource.
