Abstract:
Three types of 3-D TV system compatible with existing 2-D TV systems are proposed. These systems are not based on stereoscopic image techniques and do not impose any constraints on the viewer for 3-D perception. The first system makes use of the existing conventional color TV system for development of a 3-D TV system. The second system is based on the present monochromatic TV system. The third system depends on a light-emitting diode tank for 3-D display. To prove the validity of these systems a simulated experiment is demonstrated for the reproduction of a 3-D image using still photographs. All these systems are compared for their relative merits and demerits.

Computed Tomography
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...
