Variable Resolution View Multliplexing for Mobile 3D Display Variable Resolution View Multliplexing for Mobile 3D Display

In this paper, we present a novel view multiplexing technique that enhances perceptual resolution in mobile autostereoscopic 3D displays. An autostereoscopic display shows two or more views that have binocular disparity at the same time, so it allows the viewer to perceive motion parallax at the scene. Generally, the display divides the display panel spatially and assigns R, G, B color sub-pixels of multiple view images at the proper position on the display. It is called sub-pixel multiplexing or interweaving. Each viewpoint image resolution is the same as the resolution of a target display to show a 3D image without loss of quality. However, the amount of data is too huge to deal with the images for practical application. The proposed method significantly reduces the amount of data needed by minimizing the degradation of visual quality.
