Description

Volumetric 3 D display system based on multi-projector rotating panel

Technical field

The present invention relates to a kind of body dimension display technologies, more particularly, relate to a kind of body dimension display technologies, can be widely used in fields such as meteorologic analysis, medical imaging, air traffic control, military simulation, machinery assembling based on multi-projector rotating panel.

Background technology

3-D display can provide directly perceived, natural AC mode, helps people after the various depth cueings of integrated use, obtains true, abundant, reliable sensory experience, is the inevitable development trend of display technique.Can only provide limited stereoscopic right by means of the stereoscopic 3-D display of glasses or skew ray grid, the limited and human eye of display effect is assembled and is regulated and can not mate when observing, and watches eyes harmful for a long time.Holography dynamically shows the data transmission of magnanimity and is stored on the present technical merit unrealistic substantially.The body dimension display technologies can satisfy " directly visual, full angle is visual and group look " etc. a series of requirements, on technology realization and display effect, all relatively have superiority, thereby in fields such as meteorologic analysis, medical imaging and air traffic control and military simulation, have broad application prospects.

In recent years, true 3-D display has been done a large amount of research both at home and abroad, proposed a series of displaying scheme, mainly can be divided into volume silent oscillation and volume and scan type two major types.

The body of volume silent oscillation show be by suitable mode encourage or the static volume of addressing in display medium, and refresh with the speed that is higher than the human eye flicker fusion frequency, so that produce volumetric pixel, constitute the volume image that loads on truly in the three-dimensional real space thus in each space specified position.This class body shows according to the display medium difference, can be divided into following three types again.1) the volume silent oscillation based on the photolytic activity medium shows; this demonstration is usually based on two step of the double frequency process of motivation; require the photolytic activity medium to have three and increase progressively energy level; can show the two-photon absorption of two different wave lengths; send ground state-intermediate state serially in intersection, the conversion of intermediate state-excited state.Like this, the decay when excited state is returned ground state will be accompanied by the emission of optical photon.Shortcoming is the display medium that lacks suitable driving source and have abundant phototranstormation efficiency; 2) the volume silent oscillation based on passive matrix shows, utilizes multilayer liquid crystal to constitute the demonstration volume, and original three-dimensional image is resolved into a plurality of two-dimensional section images, explains corresponding two-dimensional image information with a plurality of liquid crystal layers respectively then.Because the corresponding overlong time of liquid crystal, display device are extremely complicated, operability is not high; 3) the volume silent oscillation based on active matrix shows, this scheme utilizes light-emitting component to constitute uniform, isotropic cubical array in physical space, each element is corresponding to a self luminous physical size unit, can be by addressing optionally and the organizator pixel.Shortcoming is that the size of cubical array is directly related with the scope of image space, size of element own and interval determination the fine and smooth degree of shown image, be electrically connected complexity, the volumetric pixel density refractory is to satisfy application requirements.

The body that volume scans type shows it is the cyclical movement that utilizes a two-dimensional surface, pretreated original three-dimensional information is presented at chronologically fast some places, locus of scanning on this surface, refresh with the speed that is higher than the human eye flicker fusion frequency again, constitute the reproduced image that truly loads in the three-dimensional real space therefrom.The true 3-D display of this class can be divided into following two class modes again according to the difference of screen motion mode: 1) volume that moves based on plane screen scans type and shows, the motion in one dimension by projection screen produces scanning of two dimensional image.Owing to be difficult to produce the high frequency mechanical drive system of the practical yardstick that reaches big.Therefore, System Operation mechanism has limited the mobile range of target screen, and causing this volume that moves based on plane screen to scan the type scheme can't promote; 2) volume based on the plane screen rotation scans the type demonstration, mainly contains based on the volumetric 3 D display system of single projector rotating panel and the volumetric 3 D display system that rotates based on two-dimentional LED screen.

At present, employed based on the body three-dimensional display apparatus of single projector rotating panel based on DMD^TMThe frame frequency of the three-chip type projection engine of technology is about 5KHz, and the volumetric pixel total number of positions reaches 116,785,152, body refresh rate 30Hz; Can realize that 3～21bit color range shows, when the volumetric pixel sum of reality activation was consistent with the volumetric pixel total number of positions, the image of reproduction can only comprise 2³Plant color; When the volumetric pixel sum that activates when reality was less than the volumetric pixel total number of positions, the multipotency of the image of reproduction comprised 2²¹Plant color.Because this system has adopted soft, the hardware facility of representing the contemporary science and technology development level, so its production cost is quite high, and operation and maintenance cost is also quite expensive.Simultaneously its body resolution 768 * 768 * 198 of providing mainly has benefited from the resolution 768 * 768 of projected image, and total width of cloth number of projected image is difficult to break through 198 again owing to be subjected to the restriction of projector frame frequency.Cause the power of lighting source can not be too big owing to adopted single projector, dmd chip to be in heating problem under the strong illumination for a long time, thereby the brightness of display image be restricted.

Body display system based on the rotation of two-dimentional LED screen shows 3-D view by the LED that lights on rotary screen.Because image forming appts has brought difficulty on rotary screen, for data transmission and electric power supply.The screen single face is luminous, for comprehensive visual, can only improve the rotating speed of rotary screen, has not only increased the requirement that volume of transmitted data has also improved mechanical system simultaneously.The size of LED luminous die is bigger, and screen size has in limited time, and resolution can not be very high.

Summary of the invention

Therefore, the present invention proposes in order to address the above problem, its purpose is to provide a kind of body dimension display technologies based on multi-projector rotating panel, adopt multi-projector multi-angle projection mode, in the refresh cycle, multi-projector timesharing exposure, each projector projection piece image, reduced requirement, thereby improved refresh rate, resolution and GTG greatly projector.Multi-projector multi-angle projection mode makes the parallel transmission of view data become possibility, has broken through the existing image data transmission rate bottleneck of single projector and LED rotary screen mode.
