Abstract

3D integral imaging is a true 3D imaging technology. It offers the simplest form that is capable of recording and replaying the true light field 3D scene in the form of a planar intensity distribution, by employing microlens array. There is a new world health crisis threatening the humanity with the spread of Covid-19 (Coronavirus Disease-2019). The Covid-19 belongs to a family of viruses that may cause various symptoms such as pneumonia, fever, breathing difficulty, and lung infection. Real images of Covid-19 patients confirmed by computed tomography CT were used to segment areas of increased attenuation in the lungs, all compatible with ground glass opacities and consolidations. This paper describes a new method to generate an indicative Covid-19 3D integral image models. The method is based on a Multiprocessor Ray Tracing System including Philips viewer, 3D slicer software and unidirectional camera. Experimental results are extremely satisfactory and for the first time it is proved that 3D integral images Covid-19 models are generated through Multiprocessor ray tracing system in order to deep monitoring and visualization to could be aid diagnosis in the absence of RT-PCR kits as demonstrated. A new file format content is created as well.
