Improved halftoning method for autostereoscopic display based on float grid-division multiplexing.

Autostereoscopic printing is one of the most common ways for three-dimensional display, because it can present finer results by printing higher dots per inches (DPI). However, there are some problems for current methods. First, errors caused by dislocation between integer grids and non-customized lenticular lens result in severe vision quality. Second, the view-number and gray-level cannot be set arbitrarily. In this paper, an improved halftoning method for autostereoscopic printing based on float grid-division multiplexing (fGDM) is proposed. FGDM effectively addresses above two problems. GPU based program of fGDM is enabled to achieve the result very fast. Films with lenticular lens array are implemented in experiments to verify the effectiveness of proposed method which provides an improved three-dimensional performance, compared with the AM screening and random screening.
