在配合後附圖式檢閱下述本發明具體實施例的說明後，本 發明其它觀點和特色對熟習該項技術人士係將變為顯明。 【實施方式】 參考圖1 ’ 一成像系統一般係被顯示為1 〇〇。該成像系 統1 00係包含一影像記錄器1 02和一成像透鏡1 〇該成像 透鏡104係具有相關的一視野之單一成像路徑。該成像系 統100係亦包含一適配器設備108 ’以用於響應接收由該成 像透鏡1 04所捕捉的光線而於該影像記錄器1 〇2的一影像 平面1 06處產生三維影像訊。 適配器108係包含一殼體110’其係具有用於安裝至該 201135286 影像記錄器1 02的一第一介面11 2和用於安裝成像透鏡1 〇4 的一第二介面1 1 4。該適配器1 08係亦包含一第一中繼透鏡 1 16 ’以用於將該成.像透鏡1〇4的一出射光瞳成像至一孔徑 平面位置1 1 8。該適配器1 0 8係進一步包含一影像調變器 1 20 ’其係位於該殼體1 1 〇内的孔徑平面位置丨丨8處或在其 附近。該影像調變器1 20操作上係可經組態為選擇性允許 來自e亥成像路徑之各別第一部分和第二部分的光線被導向 該成像平面1 0 6。 該適配器1 0 8係亦包含用於形成對應的第一影像和第 二影像於該影像平面1 06的一第二中繼透鏡丨22。該第—影 像和該第二影像一起係包含可被處理或予以顯示的影像資 料，以至於呈現一物件132在該成像透鏡1〇4之一視野内 的三維空間屬性。 在所示實施例中’該第一中繼透鏡丨16係包括具有兩 個個別透鏡124和126的一中繼透鏡群組，而該第二中繼 透鏡122係包括具有兩個個別透鏡128和丨3〇的一中繼透 鏡群組。在其它實施例中（未圖示），該第一中繼透鏡U6 和邊第二中繼透鏡1 22係可包括僅單一透鏡或超過兩個透 鏡的一群組。 參考圖1’該成像透鏡104在傳統二維（2D)成像中— 般被直接麵合至該影像記錄器102的第一介面112。在此實 轭例中，該成像透鏡104係包括一雙高斯透鏡，其係具有 位於沿著一中央孔徑欄156中任一側上之一中央軸15\'的 大致上對稱的複數個透鏡元件（150、152)。然而在复它 實施例中，該成像透们04係可為用於形成影像之變隹透 12 201135286 鏡、攝遠透鏡、超廣角透鏡、或任何數目的不同透鏡組態。 該成像透鏡104之出射光瞳的位置係顯示為1 58。一透 鏡之出射光瞳係被定義成該透鏡之孔徑欄在影像空間中的 影像’亦即如圖2中由透鏡元件1 52所成像至孔徑攔1 56 之右側的孔徑攔。在此案例中，孔徑欄丨56之影像係一虛 擬影像。出射光瞳15 8之位置和尺寸係可藉由追蹤一主光 束1 60和一邊緣光束162穿過透鏡元件152之路徑而找到。 該出射光瞳158係位於其中該主光束16〇之一投影164跨 過該中央軸1 54的一點處。該邊緣光束丨62之一投影166 係定義該出射光瞳的直徑。該成像透鏡丨〇4係具有單一成 像路瓜’因為由該等透鏡所捕捉之所有光束係被傳送穿過 相同的複數個透鏡元件150、152且該影像平面1〇6處所形 成之影像係為提供任何3D影像資訊。 該出射光瞳158係與該影像平面iOG隔離一距離D，其 大致上係被維持在某一距離内以確保該影像平面處的適當 影像資訊。無法將D維持在對該成像透鏡〗〇4之組態為特 有的一範圍内係可造成諸如該影像之過填滿、未填滿、或 其它漸暈的影像形成問題。一影像記錄器丨〇2 一般係將能 夠X在某範圍内具有各別出射光瞳位置的一組成像透鏡 進行操作。在此範圍外具有—出射光瞳之—成像透鏡係可 能未填滿該影像感測器168 (亦即：所生成影像出現漸暈） 或過填滿該影像感測器（亦即：可能存在可觀光損）。 在圖2所示實施例中，該影像記錄器丨〇2係包含一影 像感測器168,其係經佈置於該影像平面】〇6處以記錄該= 像。該影像感測H 168係可為例如一電荷輕合^牛（c 13 201135286 或一CMOS主動像素元件。另或者，該影像係可以諸如感 光膠片之其它任何適當的影像記錄媒體或元件來記錄。 該影像記錄器1 02係亦包含一控制器170，其係與該影 像感測器1 68鄉通訊以用於控制該影像感測器1 68的影像 記錄操作。該控制器17 0係亦經組態以控制該影像記錄器 令諸如聚焦、曝光、及孔徑控制的其它功能。在一些實施 例中’該介面112係在該影像記錄器1 〇2和該成像透鏡1 〇4 之間提供電氣及/或機械驅動耦合，以為提供該等透鏡的自 動聚焦。例如：在所示雙高斯透鏡配置中，該複數個透鏡 凡件1 50和1 52係可被耦合至一機械致動器（未圖示）， 以用於沿著該中央軸1 5 4移動該等透鏡來促進聚焦。 圖1之三維成像系統1 〇〇係在圖3中以俯視圖顯示。 參考圖3 ’對三維成像來說，該適配器1 〇8係直接被耦合至 该影像記錄器102的第一介面丨丨2，且該成像透鏡丨〇4係被 耦合至該適配器1〇8的第二介面114。該第一中繼透鏡ιΐ6 係將a亥出射光瞳15 8成像至該孔徑平面位置丨i 8 (位於其中 該主光束160跨過該中央軸154的一點處）^該影像調變 益120係位在盡可能接近該孔徑平面位置118的地方。在 所述實施例中’該孔徑平面位i i i 8係屬於該第二中繼透 鏡122的透鏡元件128 ’且因而不可能將該影像調變器12〇 準確疋位在該孔徑平面處。然而，只要該影像調變器 定位在至少近接該孔徑平面位置m的地方，該等影像之 顯著漸晕係不太可能發生。對任何特定透鏡組態來說，該 透鏡設計之一光學公葚总-Γ一 一 差係可被貫行以決定該調變器離開該 孔挺平面位置11 8的—可技為办從 J接又位移。在此貫施例中要注意： 14 201135286 該衫像ί周變器12 0係延伸超過該邊緣光束16 2使得該影像 調變器位有意成為該系統的一孔徑。 邊景> 像s周變器120係包含用於接收一驅動訊號的一輸 入端2 0 0，該驅動訊號操作上係致使該影像調變器1 2 〇選擇 性將光線傳送穿過該影像調變器的第一區域202和第二區 域204。該影像調變器1 20係在本文中將更詳細敘述。 該適配器1 08係亦包含一控制器206以用於控制該影 像調變器1 20的操作。該控制器2〇6係可位於該殼體η 〇 内或所述接至該殼體11〇的一分離殼體中（未圖示）。另 或者’該控制器206之功能係可由該影像記錄器丨〇2的控 制器170來提供。 該控制器206係包含用於產生該影像調變器之驅動訊 號的一輸出端208。該控制器206係亦具有用於產生一同步 afl说的一輸出端21 0。該輸出端2 1 0係與該影像記錄器1 〇 2 的控制器1 70相通訊以用於控制該影像感測器1 68同步於 該影像調變器1 20的致動來進行影像記錄操作。另或者， 一影像調變器的同步訊號係可取自一内部同步訊號，其係 由該控制器170所產生且經由一輸入端（未圖示）所提供 至該控制器206以用於同步致動該影像調變器12〇。 該適配器108在產生三維影像資訊之操作係參考圖4 和5作出近一步敘述。圖4中，散發自該物件13 2上—第 一點222之一第一光線束220係由該成像透鏡1 〇4所捕捉 且照射在該影像調變器1 20的第一區域202上，而散發自 該物件132上一第二點226之一第二光線束224係由該成 像透鏡1 04所捕捉且照射在該影像調變器120的第二區域 15 201135286 204上。該影像調變器1 20的第一區域2〇2係被致動以允許 來自該單一成像路徑之一第一部分的光線被傳送穿過該第 二中繼透鏡122到該影像平面i 〇6。同時，該影像調變器 1 20的第二區域204係被致動以避免來自該單一成像路徑之 -第-部分的光線被傳送。當如_ 4所示致動該影像調變 器120時，光線因此係被傳送穿過該成像透鏡1〇4之單— 成像路徑的一第一部分（對應該影像調變器1?〇的第—區 域202 )，且一第一影像係被形成在該影像平面1〇6處。春 致動該影像調變器120以致使該第一區域2〇2避免光線^ 輸而致動該第一區域202進行傳輸時，光線係被傳送穿過 該成像透㉟104之單-成像路徑的—第二部分（對應該与 像調變器m的第^區域204)，且一第二影像係被形成： 該影像平面106處。 參考圖5’該物件132之代表性的第一影像和第二影像 一般係被顯示為25G和252。因為該單—成像路徑之第一部 分偏離該中央軸154’所以該第一影像25〇係具有來自該物 件132之一側的一透視點，且自-影像中心、254偏移朝向 左邊。當致動該影像調變器120之第二區域2〇“ 線時，具有來自該物件132 t其它側的一透視點之第二影 :252係自該影像中心254偏移朝向右邊所形 ‘ ^影像250和該第二影像⑸選擇性導向―使用者各： 目二和左眼時，職用者係將能夠以在觀看實際物件時 ^二維資訊之大致相同方式從該等影像中識別三維資 …：個實施例中，該第，250和該第二影像252 —顯示監視器上被交替顯示成分離的視頻場。各種 16 201135286 類型之主動或被動式眼鏡係可取用於將此等顯示的第—影 像250和第二影像252導向該使用者的眼睛。被動類型的 眼鏡通常係依靠該等影像的額外波長或極化處理以使該眼 鏡中的被動濾波元件能夠分離該等影像。被動類型的眼鏡 通常係包含一接收器以用於從一顯示器接收—同步訊號， 而另外允許將該第—影像250和該第二影像252傳送至各 自的右眼和左眼另或者，該第一影像25〇和該第二影像 252係可被處理以配合各別影響中的可識別特徵且決定所 識別特徵之間的橫向偏移。所決定橫向偏移伴隨該成像系 統100之成像參數的一認知係可被用來計算在—物件上多 個點之間的深度差異、或多個物件於不同深度之間的差異。 在此實施例中，各別該第一影像250和該第二影像252 係具有幾近相同的程度（亦即：該影像調變器120之程度 的50% )。在其它實施例中，該第一影像25〇和該第二影 像252係可大於或小於該影像調變器120之程度的5〇%。 當該第-影像250和該第二影像252各者之透視點從該中 央軸1 54被空間分隔一較大距離時，由等影像所提供之三 維深度識別位準一般係較大。 有利地，除了在製造時組裝該等透鏡上正常所需條件 外’穿過該成像透冑1G4之單—成像路徑係在不需任何空 間對齊下從所能感知及/或擷取的三維資訊中產生該第一影 像250和該第二影像252。反之，使用分離影像路徑以形成 刀離的第衫像和第二影像之立體成像系統係可在分離影 像路控中存有甚至—微量失準時弓丨起使用者的眼睛疲勞或 其它不舒服效應。 17 201135286 影像調變器 在一個實施例中，該影像調變器12〇係可使用液晶元 件（LCD )來實施’其係響應在該輪入端·處所接收驅動 訊號之而交替致動該第-區域202和該第二區域2〇4以傳 送光線》參考圖6, 一 LCD影像調變器—般係被顯示為3〇〇。 LCD調變器300係包含經佈置在一第—玻璃板3〇4和一第 二玻璃板306之間的一液晶材料層3〇2。該第一玻璃板3〇4

The exit pupil 158 is isolated from the image plane iOG by a distance D that is substantially maintained within a certain distance to ensure proper image information at the image plane. The inability to maintain D within a range specific to the configuration of the imaging lens 〇 4 can cause image formation problems such as overfilling, underfill, or other vignetting of the image. An image recorder 丨〇 2 is generally operable to operate a set of imaging lenses having X respective exit pupil positions within a range. Outside of this range - the exit pupil - the imaging lens may not fill the image sensor 168 (ie, the generated image appears vignetting) or overfill the image sensor (ie: may exist Sightseeing damage). In the embodiment shown in Figure 2, the image recorder 丨〇 2 includes an image sensor 168 disposed at the image plane 〇6 to record the image. The image sensing H 168 can be, for example, a charge coupled light (c 13 201135286 or a CMOS active pixel element. Alternatively, the image can be recorded by any other suitable image recording medium or component such as photographic film. The image recorder 102 further includes a controller 170 for communicating with the image sensor 1 for controlling the image recording operation of the image sensor 168. The controller 17 is also Configuring to control the image recorder to enable other functions such as focus, exposure, and aperture control. In some embodiments, the interface 112 provides electrical between the image recorder 1 〇 2 and the imaging lens 1 〇 4 And/or mechanically driving coupling to provide autofocusing of the lenses. For example, in the dual Gauss lens configuration shown, the plurality of lens members 150 and 52 can be coupled to a mechanical actuator (not The figure is used to move the lenses along the central axis 1 54 to facilitate focusing. The three-dimensional imaging system 1 of Figure 1 is shown in top view in Figure 3. Referring to Figure 3 'for three-dimensional imaging , the adapter 1 〇 8 Directly coupled to the first interface 丨丨2 of the image recorder 102, and the imaging lens 丨〇4 is coupled to the second interface 114 of the adapter 〇8. The first relay lens ΐ6 is a The exit pupil 15 8 is imaged to the aperture plane position 丨i 8 (located at a point where the main beam 160 spans the central axis 154). The image modulation is 120 as close as possible to the aperture plane position 118. In the embodiment, the aperture plane iii 8 belongs to the lens element 128 ′ of the second relay lens 122 and thus it is impossible to accurately clamp the image modulator 12 在 at the aperture plane. However, as long as the image modulator is positioned at least close to the aperture plane position m, significant vignetting of the images is less likely to occur. For any particular lens configuration, one of the lens designs is optically common.

Edge </ RTI> The s-variant 120 includes an input terminal 200 for receiving a drive signal, the drive signal is operationally The image modulator 1 2 〇 selectively transmits light through the first region 202 and the second region 204 of the image modulator. The image modulator 1 20 is described in more detail herein. The 1 08 system also includes a controller 206 for controlling the operation of the image modulator 110. The controller 2〇6 can be located in the housing η 或 or the one connected to the housing 11 〇 Separate the housing (not shown). Alternatively or in addition, the functionality of the controller 206 can be provided by the controller 170 of the image recorder 丨〇2. The controller 206 includes an output 208 for generating a drive signal for the image modulator. The controller 206 also has an output 210 for generating a synchronization afl. The output terminal 2 1 0 is in communication with the controller 1 70 of the image recorder 1 〇 2 for controlling the image sensor 1 68 to be synchronized with the image modulator 1 20 for image recording operation. . Alternatively, the sync signal of an image modulator can be taken from an internal sync signal generated by the controller 170 and provided to the controller 206 via an input (not shown) for synchronization. The image modulator 12 is actuated. The operation of the adapter 108 in generating three-dimensional image information is further described with reference to Figures 4 and 5. In FIG. 4, a first ray bundle 220, which is emitted from the object 133, is captured by the imaging lens 1 〇4 and is incident on the first region 202 of the image modulator 110. A second light beam 224, which is emitted from a second point 226 of the object 132, is captured by the imaging lens 104 and illuminates the second region 15 201135286 204 of the image modulator 120. The first region 2〇2 of the image modulator 1 20 is actuated to allow light from a first portion of the single imaging path to be transmitted through the second relay lens 122 to the image plane i 〇6. At the same time, the second region 204 of the image modulator 110 is actuated to avoid light from the - portion of the single imaging path being transmitted. When the image modulator 120 is actuated as shown in FIG. 4, the light is thus transmitted through the single portion of the imaging lens 1〇4—the first portion of the imaging path (corresponding to the image modulator 1? - Area 202), and a first image is formed at the image plane 1〇6. When the image modulator 120 is actuated in spring to cause the first region 2〇2 to avoid the light transmission and actuate the first region 202 for transmission, the light is transmitted through the single-imaging path of the imaging through 35104. - a second portion (corresponding to the second region 204 of the modulator m), and a second image is formed: at the image plane 106. Referring to Figure 5', representative first and second images of the object 132 are generally shown as 25G and 252. Because the first portion of the single-imaging path is offset from the central axis 154', the first image 25 has a perspective point from one side of the object 132 and the self-image center, 254 offset toward the left. When the second region 2 of the image modulator 120 is actuated, the second shadow having a perspective point from the other side of the object 132 t: 252 is offset from the image center 254 toward the right side. ^ Image 250 and the second image (5) are selectively directed to the user: for the second and left eyes, the user will be able to identify from the images in substantially the same way as when viewing the actual object. In the embodiment, the second, the second image 252 is displayed on the monitor as alternately displayed as separate video fields. Various active or passive glasses of the type 201135286 are available for display. The first image 250 and the second image 252 are directed to the user's eyes. Passive type glasses typically rely on additional wavelength or polarization processing of the images to enable the passive filtering elements in the glasses to separate the images. Types of glasses typically include a receiver for receiving a sync signal from a display, and additionally allowing the first image 250 and the second image 252 to be transmitted to respective right and left eyes or The first image 25 〇 and the second image 252 can be processed to match the identifiable features of the respective influences and to determine a lateral offset between the identified features. The determined lateral offset is accompanied by imaging of the imaging system 100. A cognitive system of parameters can be used to calculate the difference in depth between a plurality of points on the object, or the difference between the plurality of objects at different depths. In this embodiment, the first image 250 and the respective image The second image 252 has approximately the same extent (ie, 50% of the extent of the image modulator 120). In other embodiments, the first image 25 〇 and the second image 252 may be greater than or Less than 5〇% of the extent of the image modulator 120. When the perspective points of the first image 250 and the second image 252 are spatially separated by a large distance from the central axis 1 54 The three-dimensional depth recognition level provided is generally large. Advantageously, the single-imaging path through the imaging lens 1G4 is provided without any spatial alignment, except for the conditions normally required to assemble the lenses at the time of manufacture. 3D information from what you can perceive and/or capture The first image 250 and the second image 252 are generated. Conversely, a stereoscopic imaging system that uses a separate image path to form a knife-off shirt image and a second image can have even a slight loss in the separation image path control. The on-time bow picks up the user's eye strain or other uncomfortable effects. 17 201135286 Image Modulator In one embodiment, the image modulator 12 can be implemented using a liquid crystal element (LCD) The first end region 202 and the second region 2〇4 are alternately actuated to receive light by receiving the driving signal. Referring to FIG. 6, an LCD image modulator is generally displayed as 3 turns. The LCD modulator 300 includes a layer of liquid crystal material 3〇2 disposed between a first glass sheet 3〇4 and a second glass sheet 306. The first glass plate 3〇4 includes a plurality of transparent electrodes 3 arranged longitudinally. Each of the electrodes 3〇8 has an associated connector 31〇 which may be, for example, a wired joint or a flexible circuit. connection. The connector 31 is tethered to a header 3丨2 and, in turn, facilitates the connection to the output 21〇 of the controller 2〇6 shown in FIG. The second glass sheet 306 includes a transparent region (not shown) that extends across a surface of itself and that acts as a common electrode. Each transparent electrode 308 defines an element between the electrode and the transparent area electrode and thus defines a plurality of elements 3 i 8 which are provided between the corresponding electrode 3 〇 8 and the transparent area electrode The _ drive potential is activated separately. The LCD image modulator 3 also includes a first polarizer 314 having a first linear polarization characteristic (vertical polarization in this case). The first polarizer 3 14 overlaps the plurality of transparent electrodes 3 〇 8 . The modulator 3 further includes a second polarizer 316 that overlies the second electrode and has n-polar polarization characteristics (horizontal polarization in this case). The various laminates in Figure 6 are not shown to scale. The controller 2〇6 (shown in ® 3) is shown in more detail in ϋ 7. The controller 206 includes a round of output 21 〇 for generating the synchronization signal (NC). The eight typical system includes a time-separated pulse train. The wheel end 2 (7) 18 201135286 performs image capture at the detector 174 with the shadow subtraction n178. The control is stepped into the step package = the driver 212 for generating the driving at the output end 208 of the Laoshan Mountain. The modulator is driven in the LCD modulator. And the wheel drive 208 shown in FIG. 6 thus has the corresponding component-number to output channel. In an embodiment, the controller implementation can be implemented using a processor circuit such as, for example, a microcontroller. In the illustrated embodiment, the wheel terminals 2〇8 of the controller 2〇6 are operatively configured to provide individual drive signals to the respective electrode fans. The drive signals are coupled to the respective electrodes 308 via the collective IS 312 and the connectors 31, and the common electrode system acts as a ground connection. In one embodiment, the driving voltage may be a watch-period-square wave that varies between voltages v+ and v•, wherein the voltage is selected within a range of safe operating voltages to illuminate the pair The light on the LCD modulator 3 provides sufficient contrast between transmission and blocking. In the illustrated embodiment, a plurality of columnar members 318 promote a degree of change in the first region 2〇2 and the second region 2 shown in Figures 1 and 3. In other embodiments, however, the LCD modulator 3 can be configured to include only two columnar elements, each element having approximately 50% of the LCD tuned state of the front surface. To a certain extent. Alternatively or in addition, the columnar elements 318 can be further divided into a plurality of pixels that can be individually actuated to provide the desired extent of the first region 202 and the second region 2〇4. Operationally, the first polarizer 314 transmits light having a vertical polarization. In this embodiment, the liquid crystal material 302 is selected such that in its relaxed phase (unactuated), the polarization of the light passing through the crystal is unaffected and the second polarizer 3 1 is thus Block the light. When actuated by the driving voltage applied to any of the electrodes 3 0 8 to be applied, a portion of the liquid crystal material layer under the electrodes causes the light to undergo a polarization change of 90 degrees and thus passes through the The second polarizer 3 16 and the modulator 30. By alternately generating drive signals for the first and second plurality of electrodes 308, the modulator 300 alternately blocks and transmits light at the first region 202 and the second region 204, respectively. In an alternative embodiment, both of the polarizers 3 14 and 3 16 are vertically polarized such that the LCD s-perimeter is transmissive when no actuation voltage is applied. In this case, when an element is actuated, the liquid crystal material causes a change in polarization of the light through 90 degrees to cause the element 356 to block the transmission of light. In another embodiment, the electrodes 3〇8 of the modulator 300 can be diced into a plurality of pixels (as indicated by the dashed line 320), and the connectors 3 i 〇 and the header 312 can be Configured to individually drive each pixel 32〇 <}Operation, the portion of the π-piece 3 1 8 can be actuated by actuating the respective pixels 320 in the line portion. Alternatively, the actuation of pixels other than the pillar state can be desired. For example, the image 320 can be actuated to cause the image by actuating a pixel in a circular or semicircular morph. The aperture at the aperture plane 6 1 4 . Mechanical image modulator • Qing ^ π non-deformer] 20 series can be generally shown in Figure 8 as 380 - * two screws. . Work - & two adjustments are implemented. The spatial modulator 380 includes a mounted opaque shutter 382 on the mounted 'section 384' of the notch 383. The 5 liter arm 384 is provided on the pivot 386 The arm Qiu anvils you go to wear. Move left and right. The arm 3! also includes a magnet 390 which is placed along the way. The magnet 390 series 20 201135286 is disposed between the first electromagnet 392 3⁄4 potential & 382, the "384" electromagnet 394. The shutter blade ... such as the holding shaft 386, the two electromagnet 394 system - Niu Rushana iron JW and Xuan Dili can operate with a mechanical actuator to generate a force in the direction of the head 388 to position the shutter blade 382 at a pair of stops 414 and 416; Teach i._ move around 1 day to define the first position of the arm and the §Hay 383, and the first time to go to the #句碑第-location" 荨 荨 414 414 and 416 each include - thread Partially provides adjustments that are aligned with the gap 383 to selectively allow light from the respective first and second portions of the imaging path to be directed to the imaging plane (10). In one embodiment, the light barriers 414 and 4 16 are capable of unmanned 5, and the spears are coupled to an electrical actuator (not shown), thereby facilitating alignment of the gap 383 without the need to save The modulator 380 is taken. For the drive 4 s s variator 38 ’ the controller is replaced by the modulator controller shown in Figure 8. The modulator controller includes a first pair of output terminals 402 for driving the coil 4〇4 of the first electromagnet 392, and a coil 4〇8 for driving the second electromagnet 394. A second pair of outputs 406. The modulator controller 4 also includes an output 412 for generating a sync signal (SYNC) for synchronizing the operation of the camera 102 as described above in connection with FIG. Alternatively, the output 412 can be configured as an input for receiving a synchronization signal generated by the controller 170 of the camera 1〇2. The modulator controller 400 operates internally to generate a synch signal or receive a SYNC signal at 412. In response to the SYNCH signal, the modulator produces current waveforms at the outputs 402 and 406 for driving the respective coils 404 and 408. The current flowing through the respective coils 404 and 408 causes the force to be exerted on the arm portion 384 to move toward a desired light bar 41 4 or 21 201135286 4 1 6 " advantageously" the modulator controller 4 The system can be implemented as a push-pull driver 'where one of the electromagnets 392 and 394 provides a gravitational force on the magnet 390 and the other of the electromagnets 392 and 394 provides a repulsive force. Figure 9 is a diagram showing that the currentless drive provided to one of the coils 4〇4 and 408 causes the arm 384 to move toward the first electromagnet 392. The current waveform flowing through the coil 404 is shown at 44 〇, and the current waveform flowing through the coil 408 is shown at 442. The pulse waveform of the speech synch signal is shown at 446. One of the rising edges of the synch signal 446 defines a start time of a first time period 444, wherein the current 44 is rapidly ramped up to produce a gravitational force on the arm 384. The gravitational force outperforms the inertia of the arm 384 and causes the arm 384 to accelerate away from the diaphragm 414 and the second electromagnet 394. During the first time period 444, the current initiates a system, and once the The arm 384 begins to accelerate, and the current 442 is rapidly increased. When the arm 384 approaches the aperture 416, a decelerating force is provided to provide damping by the movement of the arm to prevent the arm from engaging the opposite side of the shed. The arm portion 384 is stopped at the optical stop 416' and the current 44" 442 in each of the coils 4〇4 is lowered to a small holding current to hold the arm at the optical stop 416. The arm portion 384 is held during the second time period 416 - the second time period 448 provides sufficient time for the capture of the first image. Similarly, the subsequent rising edge of the SYNCH signal 446 defines a first start time of the :: inter-period 450, wherein the current 442 causes a force that causes a repulsive force on the material 384 to cause a repulsive force. The four portions 384 move toward the diaphragm 414. The arm portion 384 is at least at 22 201135286 shoulder beam 41 4 - time period 452 defines a fourth time period 452' which provides sufficient time to complete the capture of the image.

The actuator 5 includes a motor 502 having a motor drive shaft 56 extending through the motor. The arm portion 384 carries the shutter blade 382 and is mounted to the drive shaft 506 to move left and right between the light stops 414 and 416. In this embodiment, the s-motor 502 is implemented using the pair of magnets 5〇8 and 5丨〇, and the 泫 drive shaft 506 supports the actuator coils 5丨6 at the pair of magnets 5〇8 and 5 1 Between 0. The squat actuator coil 5-6 can be shanked to the output 402 of the modulator for receiving a drive current that causes a torque to be generated on the drive shaft 506. In general, the actuator 5 operates in a manner similar to one of the analog pointer scales and provides movement between the light barriers 414 and 416. In other embodiments, the motor portion 5〇2 can be configured such that the 忒 drive shaft 506 is magnetized and the coil is wound around the pole members (i.e., 508 and 510).

The imaging lens 6 〇 8 has an exit pupil 610. The adapter 600 is further incorporated into a first relay lens 612. The adapter 600 is incorporated into an image modulator 6 16 that is located at or near the aperture plane location 614. In this embodiment, the first relay lens 012 includes a relay lens 23 201135286 mirror pair 618' that includes a relay for imaging the exit pupil of the imaging lens 608 to the aperture plane position 614.

In still another embodiment, the adapter 6 is intended for use with a particular image recorder 1〇2, and the lens in the lens group 624 can be secured in the housing 602. In this embodiment, the adapter 600 also includes a selectable movable focus lens 646' for adjusting image focus at the image plane 1〇6. Operationally, the movable elements 626 and 628 of the lens group 624 24 201135286 allow adjustment of the focus length of the lens group 624 to configure the adapter for use with imaging lenses 6 〇 8 having different image formats, The relay lens pair 618 images the exit pupil 610 of one of the imaging lenses 608 to the aperture plane position 614. Advantageously, the adjustments provided allow a wide variety of lenses to be used in conjunction with the adapter, and also facilitate the use of lenses that are not fully compatible with the format of the image recorder 102. The lenses 628 and 63 can be moved using a mechanical actuator ring (not shown) to change an overall focus length of the first sequential lens 612 to exit the imaging lens 6〇8.瞳 610. Imaging to the aperture plane position 61 4 , similarly, moving the lens 642 and 644 of the lens group 638 configures the adapter 600 to operate with the image recorder 1 , 2 such that the image will be The image at plane 106 is properly formatted for image sensor 168. Advantageously, the lens group 638 facilitates tuning of the adapter to match a wider range of image recording elements without overfilling or unfilling the image sensor 168. The imaging lens 608 will generally be ready for focus adjustment such that the image formed at the image plane 106 is properly focused.

Thus, the portion of the liquid crystal material layer 3〇2 that is under the unactuated electrode 308 will act as vertically polarized light. The polarization state of the transmitted light has no effect. The portion of the liquid crystal material 35 that is under the actuating electrode 308 causes the light to undergo a polarization change of 90 degrees, thereby causing the transmitted light to have a horizontal polarization. In an alternative embodiment, the image modulator 3 will thus cause a first image and a first image having respective vertical polarization states and horizontal polarization states.

Alternatively or the [liquid crystal material layer 3〇2 of the CD modulator 300 can be configured to produce a first image having right circularly polarized light and a second image having left circularly polarized light. The image sensor 168 is configurable to simultaneously receive the respective first image and second image by adding a polarization element in front of the individual image array elements. For example, adjacent sensor pixel systems may alternate between horizontal and vertical polarization to provide polarization-selected pixels with only one polarization orientation of (iv). This sensor will thus allow simultaneous reception of both the first image and the second image. The first image and the second image system can be separated during reading from the array or in a separate processing step. An embodiment of the above-described adaptation is to facilitate the use of a two-dimensional imaging lens and a two-dimensional image recorder for generating three-dimensional image information - widely adapted to use the imaging lens to capture the shadows Silly, the adapter is used to promote the generation of 3D images below the image failure. </ RTI> <RTIgt; </ RTI> <RTIgt; </ RTI> <RTIgt; </ RTI> <RTIgt; </ RTI> <RTIgt; </ RTI> <RTIgt; </ RTI> <RTIgt; </ RTI> </ RTI> <RTIgt; .
