Abstract;Ray-Space method describes the 3D information with the information of the ray which transmits in the space. The sampling interval of this method is very important. In this method, we need many cameras to acquire the Ray-Space data but the sampling interval for Ray-Space is not discovered completely now. We call this sampling problem Ray-Space sampling and we investigate the maximum sampling interval for two cases, concentric circle arrangement and concentric sphere arrangement. In the former case, we got some factors which determine sampling interval by applying Plenoptic Sampling. Sampling interval is described to use them. In the latter case, we proposed analysis method to get sampling interval with spherical harmonics transformation. (author abst.)
