Abstract

Holoscopic 3D imaging system, also known as integral imaging, is an innovative 3D imaging principle that overcomes key limitation of traditional 2D imaging issues such as depth, scalability and multi-perspective with its simplistic form of 3D data acquisition and visualisation which provides robust and spatial information of the real world 3D scene. In this paper, an innovative 3D map generation technique is proposed which produces accurate 3D map of a scene from a single holoscopic 3D image based on angular information preserved in its elemental images. 3D depth map is generated from the elemental images based on the semi-global block-based matching algorithm. A weighted least squares filter is utilised to minimise the noise in the resulting disparity image. The evaluation result outperformed state of the art 3D depth generation techniques and the proposed technique enlarges the industrial application of 3D imaging applications such as AR/VR, inspection, robotics, security and entertainment.
