Definitions
- This invention relates to three-dimensional image arrangements.
- Endoscopes which are used for viewing difficult- to-access objects, have restricted imaging capability.
- the present invention provides image arrangements that can produce orthoscopic, three-dimensional images and which have other advantages over conventional endoscopes.
- the invention comprises a three-dimensional image capture arrangement comprising a high definition image capture device overlain by a microlens array.
- the image capture device may comprise a CCD array.
- the arrangement may comprise an optical system defining an object region of which an image is cast on to the microlens array.
- the optical system may comprise negative lens means.
- the lenses of the microlens array may be apertured - this can increase depth of focus, a corresponding reduction in brightness of image being of little concern if an electronic image can be adjusted for brightness or intensified.
- the invention also comprises a three-dimensional image display arrangement using image information captured by an image capture arrangement as above referred to, comprising a high definition image display screen overlain by a lens array, the screen and lens array being congruent to the image capture device and microlens array in the image capture arrangement.
- the image display arrangement may comprise a double integral screen in front of the lens array and disposed so as to intercept and invert the spatial sense of the aerial image projected by the lens array so that it can be viewed as an orthoscopic, three-dimensional image.
- the image display screen may comprise a led array, which may be back-lit, as with collimated illumination on to a backing micro-diffuser screen.
- Figure 1 is a diagrammatic cross-section of an image capture arrangement
- Figure 2 is a diagrammatic cross-section of an image display arrangement.
- the drawings illustrate a three-dimensional image capture arrangement ( Figure 1) comprising a high definition image capture device 11 overlain by a microlens array 12.
- the image capture device 11 comprises a CCD array.
- the arrangement comprises an optical system comprising a negative lens 13 defining an object region OR of which an image is cast on to the microlens array 12.
- the CCD array can be 10 mm in diameter and the microlens array 12 of 400 um pitch.
- high definition is meant that beneath each microlens of the array 12 there is an array of pixel image elements sufficient to form an image to a desired resolution of the object region OR.
- the negative lens 13 can be located 10 mm from the microlens array 12 and have an aperture of f25. Each of the microlenses of the array 12 can have an aperture of f3, a focal length of 1.18 mm. The object region OR will then have a depth of 15 mm.
- the microlenses of the array 12 can be apertured to increase depth of focus. This will reduce image intensity for a given object illumination, but that may be compensated electronically.
- the signals from the CCD array 11 will be collected and processed electronically in the usual way and used to power the image display arrangement of Figure 2.
- This comprises a high definition image display screen 21 overlain by a lens array 22.
- the screen 21 and lens array 22 are congruent to the image capture device 11 and microlens array 12 of the image capture arrangement illustrated in Figure 1, by which is meant that the number and arrangement of lenses are the same and that the pixels of the led screen correspond in number and arrangement to those of the CCD array.
- the led screen 22 can have four times as many pixels as the CCD array 12 so that there will be some redundancy, and the correlation may differ in other ways so long as the image under each microlens of the array 12 is satisfactorily transmitted to appear under each lens of the array 22 in a corresponding position.
- the led screen 21 and lens array 22 can be ten times the size of the CCD array 11 and microlens screen
- the lenses of array 22 being of 4 mm pitch and the diameter being 100 mm.
- the screen 21 and lens array 22 are viewed through a double integral screen 23 with f2 microlenses 23a pitched at 400 urn (see enlarged detail located 250 mm in front) .
- the image as seen through the double integral screen 23 is inverted from the pseudoscopic image projected by the lens array 22 so that it is viewed as an orthoscopic, three-dimensional image in an image region IR which, at 150 mm depth, is ten times the depth of the object region OR ( Figure 1).
- the led screen 21 is back-lit with collimated illumination on to a backing micro-diffuser screen 24.
