H. Hoshino et al., ANALYSIS OF RESOLUTION LIMITATION OF INTEGRAL PHOTOGRAPHY, Journal of the Optical Society of America. A, Optics, image science,and vision., 15(8), 1998, pp. 2059-2065
The resolution limitation of integral photography (IP) is analyzed. Es
timating the resolution of IP measured at the viewpoint, we derive the
optimum width of the aperture or lens. It is shown that-the resolutio
n of aperture-plate IP is lower than conventional two-dimensional disp
lays, even with an optimum design. When the ideal lens is utilized, ho
wever, lens-array IP can provide a three-dimensional display that is f
ree from any discontinuous change of images that occur with the observ
er's movement and with the same resolution that conventional two-dimen
sional displays feature. (C) 1998 Optical Society of America.
