COMPLETE SPECIFICATION INNOVATION PATENT VIRTUAL-COAXIAL PORTABLE THREE-DIMENSIONAL CAMERA WITH SMALL VOLUME
The following statement is a full description of this invention, including the best
method of performing it
known to me:
VIRTUAL-COAXIAL PORTABLE THREE-DIMENSIONAL CAMERA WITH SMALL VOLUME TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present invention relates to a three-dimensional camera, and more
particularly relates to a virtual-coaxial portable three-dimensional camera with a small
volume.
BACKGROUD OF THE PRESENT INVENTION
[0002] Three-dimensional photography is widely used in the fields of industrial
detection, medical treatment, architectural design, aerospace and virtual reality.
[0003] For example, the three-dimensional photography plays an important role in
modeling of cities and towns. Especially when natural disasters occur, rescuers can
make more reasonable deployments through three-dimensional structures. The
protection of cultural relics has always been a historical problem, and good effects
have been achieved in the reconstruction of cultural relics based on the
three-dimensional photography technology. The three-dimensional photography can
rapidly find an injured part of a patient and provide technical support for doctors in
the aspect of the medical rescue. The three-dimensional photography can also
effectively promote the development of the unmanned combat and equipment
navigation.
[0004] However, front and rear lenses shall be arranged for the existing
three-dimensional camera, thereby causing too large volume. Moreover, the front lens
blocks the light ray of the rear lens, so that the rear lens cannot acquire all image
information acquired by the front lens, which leads to that images corresponding to
many areas in front of the front lens cannot be used, resulting in data waste. The three-dimensional reconstruction can only be performed for the non-front areas that can be acquired by both the front and rear lenses, that is, in terms of appearance, what is seen is not photographed, and there is the area that cannot be used for the three-dimensional reconstruction. Therefore, the existing three-dimensional camera is only suitable for a fixed form. A distance between the front lens and the rear lens can be changed in a larger range so as to perform the three-dimensional imaging for a further target object. However, due to large length and large volume, the existing three-dimensional camera is inconvenient for individual users to carry.
[0005] Therefore, the problems in the prior art need to be further overcome and solved.
SUMMARY OF PRESENT INVENTION
[0006] (I) Purpose of the invention: to solve the above problems in the prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a three-dimensional camera which is small in volume and convenient to carry.
[0007] (II) Technical solutions: to solve the above technical problems, the technical solution provides a virtual-coaxial portable three-dimensional camera with a small volume, which includes a first lens and a second lens; the first lens is fixed on a first base, and the secondlensis fixed on asecond lens.
[0008] Optical axes of the fixed first lens and second lens are parallel to each other; and the first base and the second base are arranged on a same vertical line, and the first base is arranged right above the second base.
[0009] The virtual-coaxial portable three-dimensional camera with the small volume also includes a spectroscope and a total reflector. The center of the spectroscope is overlapped with the optical axis of the first lens, and an angle between the spectroscope and the optical axis of the first lens is 45 degrees.
[0010] The center of the total reflector is overlapped with the optical axis of the
second lens, and an angle between the total reflector and the optical axis of the second
lens is 45 degrees.
[0011] The spectroscope is arranged oppositely to a reflecting surface of the total
reflector.
[0012] In the virtual-coaxial portable three-dimensional camera with the small
volume, the spectroscope is a 50% spectroscope.
[0013] In the virtual-coaxial portable three-dimensional camera with the small
volume, each of the first lens and the second lens includes a photographing lens and a
sensor.
[0014] In the virtual-coaxial portable three-dimensional camera with the small
volume, a distance between the optical axis of the first lens and the optical axis of the
second lens is h; a distance between the center of the total reflector and the first lens is
LI; and a distance between the center of the total reflector and the second lens is L2.
[0015] In the virtual-coaxial portable three-dimensional camera with the small
volume, all points of a target object are calculated to obtain a distance between all
points and the first lens or the second lens group, a height relative to the central axes
of the first lens or second lens group as well as respective angles, so that the
three-dimensional information of the target object can be obtained, thereby
completing the three-dimensional photography of the object.
[0016] (III) Beneficial effects: the virtual-coaxial portable three-dimensional camera
with the small volume in the present invention is small in volume, simple in structure,
low in cost, convenient to carry, and suitable for the three-dimensional imaging of
front targets, short-distance targets and long-distance targets.

second base. The first base and the second base are arranged on a same vertical line,
and the first base is arranged right above the second base. Optical axes of the fixed
first lens 1 and second lens 2 are parallel to each other.
[0025] The center of the spectroscope 3 is overlapped with the optical axis 7 of the
second lens, and the center of the total reflector 4 is overlapped with the optical axis 8
of the second lens. The spectroscope 3 is arranged oppositely to a reflecting surface of
the total reflector 4. The spectroscope 3 is parallel to the total reflector 4. The line
connecting the center of the spectroscope 3 and the center of the total reflector 4 is
perpendicular to the optical axis 7 of the first lens and the optical axis 8 of the second
lens.
[0026] Preferably, an angle between the spectroscope 3 and the optical axis 7 of the
first lens is 45 degrees and inclines downwardly. An angle between the total reflector
4 and the optical axis 8 of the second lens is 45 degrees and inclines upwardly.
[0027] Preferably, the spectroscope 3 is a 50% spectroscope. The spectroscope 3
enables 50% of light ray to advance continuously to enter the first lens 1 and to form
an image I; and the remaining 50% of the light ray is reflected downwardly to enter
the total reflector 4 arranged in front of the second lens 2, and is totally reflected to
enter the second lens 2 and to form an image II.
[0028] Each of the first lens 1 and the second lens 2 includes a photographing lens
and a sensor. The photographing lens is used to photograph a target object. The sensor
is a photoelectric sensor and is used to image the target object.
[0029] The three-dimensional camera also includes a central calculation module.
The central calculation module calculates all points of the target object to obtain
three-dimensional information of the target object, thereby completing the
three-dimensional photography of the object.
[0030] A distance between the optical axis 7 of the first lens and the optical axis 8 of
the second lens is h. The distance between the center of the spectroscope 3 and the
first lens 1 is L. The distance between the center of the total reflector 4 and the

[0033] Specifically as follows:
[0034] The first lens 1 is an upper lens arranged vertically, and the second lens 2 is a
lower lens arranged vertically. The optical axes of the upper and lower lenses are
arranged in parallel, and a distance between the optical axes is h.
[0035] The 50% spectroscope is located in front of the first lens 1, and the center of
the spectroscope is arranged on the optical axis 7 of the first lens. The angle between
the spectroscope and the optical axis is 45 degrees and faces downwards. The distance
from the center of the spectroscope to the upper lens is LI, which can be precisely
adjusted and can be precisely measured.
[0036] The total reflector 4 is arranged in front of the second lens 2, and the center
of the total reflector is arranged on the optical axis 8 of the second lens. The angle
between the total reflector and the optical axis 8 of the second lens is 45 degrees and
faces upwards. The total reflector 4 is parallel to the 50% spectroscope. The distance
from the total reflector to the lower lens is L2, which can be precisely adjusted and
can be precisely measured.
[0037] The line connecting the center of the 50% spectroscope and the center of the
total reflector 4 is perpendicular to the optical axes of the upper and lower lenses.
After the light ray reflected by the target object 5 reaches the 50% spectroscope, 50%
of the full light ray passes through the spectroscope to reach the photographing
camera and sensor of the first lens 1 to form a first image, i.e. image I.
[0038] The remaining 50% of the light ray is reflected to reach the lower total
reflector 4 according to a reflection law. The remaining 50% of the light ray from the
50% spectroscope reaches the total reflector 4 and is all reflected to the photographing
lens and sensor of the second lens 2 according to the reflection law to form a second
image, i.e. image II.
[0039] The central calculation module is respectively connected with the sensor of
the first lens and the sensor of the second lens. The central calculation module can
calculate the height of the target object 5 and the distance from the target object to the
upper lens according to the position or occupation ratio of the photo of the target
object 5 in the image I and image II.
[0040] The height of the image in the first lens is d, and the height of the image in
the second lens is d. The photo of the target object in the image through the first lens
has a height dl. The photo of the object in the image through the second lens has a
height d2. The first lens and the second lens exactly have the same focal length and
