A New Single Camera System for Stereoscopic Image Acquisition

摘要

Three key elements determine the ability of a stereoscopic system to capture a realistic three-dimensional (3D) image: wide angle of view, in-terocular distance, and convergence. Z3D achieves all three oj these in a compact, format-independent unit that works with both film and digital cameras. A single camera and single lens system that includes an optical 3D viewfinder and a video 3D viewfinder which take the guesswork out oj setting the convergence. It is compatible with existing 3D projection methods but can also be usedjor live 3D video projection.
