    摘要: A system and method of capturing a stereoscopic pair of images for use in forming a 3-D image of an object at a desired perceived position in a scene projected onto a dome surface. The first one of the stereoscopic pair of images is captured when the object is offset to the right of the desired perceived position in the scene. The second one of the stereoscopic pair of images is captured when the object is offset to the left of the desired perceived position in the scene. In this manner, positive parallax can be captured in front of a viewer, upward in an arc through the zenith of the dome, and beyond to the back of the dome. The system and method allows scenes projected onto a dome surface to contain positive parallax, and therefore allows objects to appear to be located beyond the dome surface when viewed in 3-D stereo, which was previously not possible.

    摘要: A camera (110) for recording at least one image of at least one object (112) is proposed. The camera (110) comprises:—at least one converging element (128), wherein the converging element (128) is adapted to converge a light beam (132) passing through the converging element (128) to travel along a beam path to be received by at least one optical sensor (114);—at least one first aperture element (130) having a first adjustable area (136), wherein the first aperture element (130) is located in the beam path between the converging element (128) and the optical sensor (114);—at least one second aperture element (134) having a second adjustable area (138), wherein the second aperture element (134) is located in the beam path between the first aperture element (130) and the optical sensor (114);—the at least one optical sensor (114) being adapted for receiving the light beam (132), wherein the optical sensor (114) is further adapted to generate at least one first picture in a first setting comprising the first aperture area (136) exceeding the second aperture area (138) and to generate at least one second picture in a second setting comprising the second aperture area (138) exceeding the first aperture area (134); and—at least one evaluation device (142) designed to generate at least one three-dimensional image of the at least one object (112) by comparing the at least one first picture and the at least one second picture. Thereby, a simple and, still, efficient three-dimensional camera (110) for an accurate recording of an image of at least one object (112) in space is provided.

    摘要: Image sensor (331; 531; 531′) for use with a lens (340; 540′) arranged to focus light onto an image sensing area (333; 533) of said image sensor (331; 531). Camera (330; 530′; 730) comprising the image sensor (331; 531; 531′) and said lens (340; 540′). Imaging system (305; 705; 730) for three-dimensional imaging of an object (320; 720) based on light triangulation, comprising the camera. The image sensor (331; 531) comprising an optical plate (337; 537) arranged to cover the image sensing area (333; 533) by at least two optical plate portions (334-1, 334-2; 534-1, 534-2) with different refractive properties such that light incident from said lens (340; 540′) and refracted by said optical plate portions (334-1, 334-2; 534-1, 534-2) towards and onto the image sensing area (333; 533) will travel different distances to be in focus on the image sensing area depending on which of said optical plate portions (334-1, 334-2; 534-1, 534-2) the light was refracted by. As a result, the image sensing area portions covered by said at least two optical plate portions (334-1, 334-2; 534-1, 534-2) become associated with different focus planes (351-1, 351-2; 751-1, 751-2).
