- Abstract
We present a technique for imaging full-color 3-D images with a single camera in this paper. Unlike a typical 3-D-imaging system comprising two independent cameras each contributing one viewpoint, the technique presented here creates two viewpoints using a single-lens camera with a bipartite filter whose bandpass characteristics are complementary to each other. The bipartite filter divides the camera's limiting aperture into two spatially separated apertures or viewpoints that alternately image an object field using filter-passband matched, time-sequenced illumination. This technique was applied to construct a 3-D camera to image scenes at a working distance of 10 mm. We evaluated the effectiveness of the 3-D camera in generating stereo images using statistical comparison of the depth resolutions achieved by the 3-D camera and a similar 2D camera arrangement. The comparison showed that the complementary filters produce effective stereopsis at prescribed working distances.
