Color 3D display and security via monochrome scenes

Abstract

Color three-dimensional (3D) displays have always been the ideal display method because of their strong sense of reality, whereas color 3D displays of monochrome scenes are still challenging and unexplored. A color stereo reconstruction algorithm (CSRA) is proposed to solve the issue. We design a deep learning-based color stereo estimation (CSE) network to obtain color 3D information of monochrome scenes. The vivid color 3D visual effect is verified by our self-made display system. Furthermore, an efficient CSRA-based 3D image encryption scheme is achieved by encrypting a monochrome image with two-dimensional double cellular automata (2D-DCA). The proposed encryption scheme fulfills the requirement for real-time and high-security 3D image encryption with a large key space and the parallel processing capability of 2D-DCA.
