CELLULAR PHONE CAMERA WITH THREE-DIMENSIONAL IMAGING FUNCTION

摘要

This real-time three-dimensional imaging system for a cellular phone camera generates an all-in-focus image with depth information. The system comprises a micromirror array lens, an imaging unit for capturing images with different focal planes, which are changed by the micromirror array lens, an image processing unit for processing the images taken by the imaging unit and converting the processed images into three-dimensional displayable type, and three-dimensional display unit for displaying the processed three-dimensional images. 'Depth from focus' method is used to get an all-in-focus image and depth information from multiple two-dimensional images with different focal planes. For the real-time three- dimensional imaging, micromirror array lens with high-speed variable focus and high speed image processing unit are used. This application has also real-time auto focusing and optical zooming function.
