Naked-eye 3D visualization of cultural relics based on integrated imaging

Abstract Digital technology has become crucial for the protection of cultural relics, enabling their acquisition, preservation, exhibition, and dissemination in a non-contact manner.At present, the three-dimensional(3D) visualization technology of cultural relics focuses on the research of non-true 3D visualization, which cannot provide continuous viewing angle and takes a long time to render. This paper focuses on the acquisition and reproduction of digital information related to cultural relics, and proposes to achieve the true 3D display of cultural relics from a continuous perspective based on integrated imaging(InIm). Building up on traditional InIm, an Element image array (EIA) generation algorithm based on local depth template matching is designed by using spatial geometry relation. Experimental results show that the algorithm not only enables naked-eye 3D visualization of cultural relics, but also the generation speed is more than twice that of the compared 3D display data source generation algorithm.
