Stereoscopic image crosstalk factor for auto-stereoscopic display based on parallax barrier

The stereoscopic image crosstalk may decrease the quality of presented stereoscopic images. The concept of stereoscopic image crosstalk factor C is defined to indicate the degree of crosstalk between the left and right parallax images. According to the structure and principle of the autostereoscopic displays, the calculation formulas of stereoscopic image crosstalk factor C are obtained using geometry principle. The simulated results of an autostereoscopic display device show that the concept of stereoscopic image crosstalk C can quantificationally describe the degree of crosstalk for stereoscopic images seen by viewers in the stereo viewing zone of the display.
