Abstract

In this paper, we analyze the optical performance of a commonly used 1-step recording geometry for stereograms and compare it to the fully fringe rendered case, taking a published optical model of the human eye into account. We compare our results to a model that conserves wavefront curvature. We then demonstrate how to optimize hogel sampling parameters as a function of image depth, size, and viewer distance. We conclude that stereograms suffer from little degradation from a viewing distance larger than 2 meters, but that nearer field images can significantly benefit by adding a second order phase correction.
