We have developed the ultra thin three dimensional image capture system. The system uses a micro-lens array to form multiple images, which are captured on a photo-detector array. Digital processing of the captured multiple images is used to extract the surface profile. Preliminary experiments were executed on an evaluation system to verify the principles of the system. In this paper, we have proposed ultra thin three dimensional capture system. A compound-eye imaging system and post-processing are employed. Experimental results verify the principle of the proposed method and show the potential capability of the proposed system architecture.
The three dimensional endoscope by compound optics is presented. The system consists of a micro-lens array, a signal separator and a photo-detector array.
Digital processing of the captured multiple images is used to extract the surface profile. Preliminary experiments were executed on an evaluation system to verify the principles of the system and to clarify the issues related to its implementation.
