Patent attributes
Systems and methods are described for display of a depth image (depth plus texture) using multiple focal planes. In one embodiment, a depth image (which may be a frame of a depth video, consisting of a video plus depth sequence) is mapped to a first set of image planes. The depth image (or a subsequent frame of the depth video) is mapped to a second set of image planes. Each image plane in the first and second set has a specified depth, and the first and second set differ in at least one depth. Each of the image planes is displayed in the first set at the respective depth of that image plane, and, subsequently, each of the image planes in the second set is displayed at its respective depth. Display of the first and second sets may be cyclically alternated at rate sufficiently high to avoid perceptible flicker.
