3D Tensor Display for Non-Lambertian Content

A tensor display is a type of 3D light field display, composed of multiple transparent screens and a back-light that can render a scene with correct depth, allowing to view a 3D scene without wearing glasses. The analysis of state-of-the-art tensor displays assumes that the content is Lambertian. In order to extend its capabilities, we analyze the limitations of displaying non-Lambertian scenes and propose a new method to factorize the non-Lambertian scenes using disparity analysis. Moreover, we demonstrate a new prototype of a tensor display with three layers of full HD content at 60 fps. Compared with state-of-the-art, the evaluation results verify that the proposed non-Lambertian rendering method can display a higher quality for non-Lambertian scenes on both simulation and a prototyped tensor display.
