Definitions

  • the present invention refers to composition, utilisation and function of an equipment for capturing of three- dimensional images for medical purposes, for example for usage in micro-invasive surgery, for capturing of three- dimensional images of objects.
  • a stereoscopic image presents to the observer's left and right eyes an image with pixels from different perspectives, exactly as the observer sees the visual reality.
  • __ These two images, with slightly different perspectives, are synthesised by the cortex of the brain
  • the reality can also be captured by a camera. Irrespective of the image is calculated or captured, the generation or copying of images from two perspectives, one for the left and one for the right eye, must take place. If a perspective can be produced, it is conceptually possible to create another perspective.
  • the monocular, or extra-stereoscopic, depth-variables are the conditions for the perception of depth on visual displays. They are as important as stereopsis to create images, which are percepted as three-dimensional. These variables include light and shadow, relative size, interposition, text gradient, spatial perspective, motion parallax, and the most important is the perspective. Images rich on monocular depth-variables will be even easier to visualise when binocular ⁇ tereoscopy is added.
  • a stereoscopic display is an optical system, where the human brain is the end-unit. It functions by presenting left and right images of reality to the brain.
  • stereopsis adds information in a format, which is both sensoric, comfortable and usef l.
  • a stereoscopic image which has a one-to-one conformity, ⁇ somorphic, with reality, can be uncomfortable to look at, and be of debatable value for the scientist, engineer, technician, doctor and the artist.
  • a stereoscopic image can diverge from being isomorphic with reality, psycho-physics, the psychology of depth-perception, and geometric or optical changes. They can have the following states: breaking down of accommodation/convergence, interacting variables around the monitor, and ortho-stereoscopic states .
  • the formatting of an image is separated from the selection technique, or the way to supply each eye with its necessary image (and to erase unnecessary images) . Formatting and image selection must be simultaneous, and by design of such system, the selection technique decides the format.
  • stereoscopic image capturing equipment means equipment, which capture a three-dimensional image of reality.
  • the object is captured simultaneously with the two lenses and thereby creates two images with different perspectives captured at the same moment.
  • the patent concerns format and capture equipment which function together with visual presentation equipment and uses time multiplex methods.
  • visual presentation equipment can be active by using liquid crystal (LC) shutter, or it can be passively polarising.
  • LC liquid crystal
  • the invention is defined as a way to use equipment for 3D- seeing (three dimensions) to capture objects close to or in real time .
  • the invention can be defined as a way to use such equipment to capture objects better and create a depth-sense to see the relation of the object to its environment .
  • FIG. 1 The geometry of the basic algorithm to produce computer generated electro-stereoscopic distortion-free images is illustrated in Figure 1, with left and right camera positioned in the data area. Their inter-axial separation is given by t c .
  • the axes of the camera lenses are parallel in the z-direction.
  • the distance between the cameras to the object is d 0 .
  • the cameras are two still images or video cameras whose lens axes are parallel, mounted on a planar bed.
  • t c is the inter-axial separation or distance between the cameras, or more exactly the centre of the lenses.
  • the cameras are mounted such that the lens axes', the lines through the centres of each lens with right angle to the image plane, all the time are parallel.
  • Both the cameras produce two different perspectives of the same object, because they are horizontally displaced by the distance t c . Both the cameras use lenses with the same focal distance. Lenses with short focal distance produce a wide-angle image, and lenses with long focal distance produce a narrow-angle image. For example wide-angle lenses for 35-millimeter photography are usually under 50 millimetres, and long focal distance or lenses of tele- optics are usually over 50 millimetres.
  • the image is horizontally displaced such that any part of the image lies perfectly on top of the other, that part of the image has ZPS.
  • the object doesn't exist only on x- and -axes, but also on the z-axis. Because the object is three-dimensional, we can reach ZPS for only one point (or set of points oriented in one plane) of the object. If ZPS is used for the mid part of the object, the parts behind the object have ZPS positive parallax, and the parts in front have ZPS have negative parallax.
  • the algorithm for parallel lens axes for stereoscopic computer generated images uses two camera perspectives, with parallel lens axes with a distance t c between them. Both perspectives and the camera lenses, have the same angle.
  • the degree of horizontal translation (HIT) of the images is more a question about taste.
  • HIT horizontal translation
  • the aim is to produce the strongest stereoscopic effect without exceeding a maximum of 1.5° parallax.
  • the form of the equation is helpful at understanding of this.
  • the value of the magnification (M) changes the value of P m .
  • An image on a big screen has more parallax than the image on a smaller screen.
  • a 24-inch monitor has twice as much parallax as a 12-inch monitor, with other parameters unchanged.
  • To reduce t c will reduce the value of monitor parallax.
  • To reduce the focal distance of the lens f c (use a wide-angle lens) also reduces P m .
  • t c The most important factor controlling the stereoscopic effect is the distance t c between the two camera lenses.
  • the bigger t c the bigger parallax values and bigger stereoscopic depth-sense.
  • t c becomes small and still produce a strong stereoscopic effect.
  • t c must be hundreds of metres to produce any kind of stereoscopic effect.
  • To change ⁇ is a way of controlling the depth of a stereoscopic image.
  • HIT will be used to control the ZPS of the images, and will often be received by software, through moving of two parts of the buffer relative to each other. Horizontal movement of left and right images in the upper or lower part of the buffer produces HIT, which is used to control ZPS.
  • HIT is used to control ZPS.
  • the mid part of the object is a good position for ZPS. If this recommendation is followed the user will get difficulties because of broken down because of accommodation, convergence and concomitant 'cross talk'. It is important to implement ZPS conditions of the image processing software as default values.
  • the size of the image is changed it is wished to keep ZPS, and this can be implemented in the software.
  • the software must perform a perspective with a given offset - for each eye, thereby simulating what each eye would see if it had been in a three-dimensional world upon which the software rendering is based, and
  • Calculation of a stereoscopic image includes two monocular perspectives from two different positions.
  • computer generated stereoscopic pairs were created through rotation of an object a few degrees, but it is not recommended (see Figure 2) .
  • the use of rotation to generate stereoscopic pairs results in vertical non-adjustment of corresponding left and right image points .
  • Such a vertical non-adjustment causes the eye muscles to work in an extraordinary way, which most persons experience as uncomfortable. If the eyes try to fuse vertical parallax without any depth information, the result can be painful.

  • the corner points A ', B', C, and D ' are higher or lower than corresponding points A , B, C, and D.
  • the example contains a simple figure, which is typical for what is happening when rotation is used to produce stereoscopic pairs. Instead it is recommended to produce two perspective with a horizontal translation along the x-axis, with a horizontal displacement for the resulting images (HIT 'horizontal image translation') to establish ZPS ('zero parallax setting').
  • the invention is based on mechanical displacement of the lens in telescopic, horizontal, vertical or rotational direction.

Abstract

L'invention concerne la construction et l'utilisation d'un équipement de capture d'images tridimensionnelles. L'invention est fondée sur la capture de deux images présentant une perspective différente avec un déplacement préétabli, sur la base de plusieurs paramètres. La construction est fondée sur la lentille qui est placée dans un berceau/traîneau. Sur chaque côté du berceau/traîneau se trouve un système appelé système de coussins. Les systèmes de coussins peuvent influer sur le déplacement de la lentille selon l'état de remplissage ou de vidage du liquide, gaz ou autre substance. L'objet saisi est capturé par une caméra, par exemple une caméra CCD, qui transmet l'image à un ordinateur en tant que signal vidéo. L'ordinateur utilise ensuite un procédé de traitement d'image pour fusionner les deux images en une image tridimensionnelle. L'image tridimensionnelle peut être visualisée ultérieurement au moyen d'un casque HMD (visiocasque), sur un écran ou à travers des lunettes à vision X. Le procédé de l'invention peut être utilisé avantageusement dans des applications où la taille ou le diamètre de l'instrument est un élément décisif pour le résultat, comme, par exemple, dans le domaine médical, pour l'endoscopie, notamment l'arthroscopie, la laparoscopie, la cystoscopie. De plus, il est important pour le chirurgien d'avoir une perception spatiale du champ opératoire, ce qui lui permet d'apprécier plus facilement les distances, les dimensions, etc.
