Characteristics of diverging radial type stereoscopic camera

摘要

A diverging-type stereo camera arrangement is introduced to use in hand-held mobile devices such as mobile phone, hand PC and introscopes. The arrangement allows making the inter-camera distance much smaller than that in the conventional stereo camera arrangements such as parallel and radial types by adjusting the diverging angle. Computer simulation shows that it can introduce more distortion than the parallel type but it can enhance the depth sense.
