The methods are based on a 3D integral images ray-tracer containing 3D integral images parser, 3D integral camera model, a 3D integral images renderer and scene transformations. Consequently, fast sequences of 3D integral image frames for animations purposes are generated, experimental results show validation of the strategies to fill in the 3D missing pixels and test on different scenes, improvement in terms of execution time depends on the complexity of the scene is achieved.

It is based on an interpolation process in order to overcome the missed pixels problem between 3D integral imaging frames. Consequently, 3D missing pixels are mapped. The 3D missing information is normally produced by ray tracing them again. Although, very good results in terms of filling in the black holes with correct pixel information have been achieved but the drawback of the strategy is that it time consuming. Therefore, In this paper, an interpolation algorithm is developed to compute the 3D missing information without the need of ray tracing them again the interpolation scheme are used information from the neighboring still 3D integral image frames each side of the current still 3D integral image frame. This will avoid the need to ray tracing all of the missed pixels in new still 3D integral image frame and that has noticeably resulted in the reduction of the number of computations and hence in acceleration of execution time. In this paper, a complete software tool that implements the application programming, interpolating 3D missing pixels in the environment of object-oriented in C++, C programming languages is developed and the second based ray tracer parallel system tool is adapted. 2 ADVANCED INTEGRAL IMAGING SYSTEMS Integral imaging is attracting a lot of attention in recent year and has been regarded as strong candidate for next generation 3D TV [1-4].
