Correcting interperspective aliasing in autostereoscopic displays

An image presented on an autostereoscopic system should not contain discontinuities between adjacent views. A viewer should experience a continuous scene when moving from one view to the next. If corresponding points in two perspectives do not spatially abut, a viewer will experience jumps in the scene. This is known as interperspective aliasing. Interperspective aliasing is caused by object features far away from the stereoscopic screen being too small, which results in visual artifacts. By modeling a 3D point as a defocused image point, we can adapt Fourier analysis to devise a depth-dependent filter kernel that allows filtering of a stereoscopic 3D image. For synthetic 3D data, we use a simpler approach, which is to smear the data by a distance proportional to its depth.
