Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
To provide a display technique for presenting to a user a visual effect of an image obtained when printed onto a lenticular sheet in a state that more closely conforms to the actual circumstances, a print apparatus is provided with: an image creating means for creating a multi-viewpoint image formed by arranging side by side in sequential order image strips each created from a plurality of mutually different original images; a printing means for printing the multi-viewpoint image by forming side by side print dots made of a recording material on a lenticular sheet having a lenticular lens; and an image displaying means for displaying a simulation image simulating the multi-viewpoint image seen via the lenticular lens; the image displaying means displaying a simulation image visually reflective of cross-talk arising due to overlapping of the print dots at a boundary between the mutually adjacent image strips.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. An image display method for representing simulated visual results via a lenticular lens relative to a composite image constituted by images at a plurality of points of view, the image display method comprising: acquiring a plurality of images at mutually different points of view; creating a simulation image by modifying a value of a pixel that is located at an end portion of an image strip constituting an image of a predetermined point of view; and displ…
