A miniature prism based stereoscopic system for 3D machine vision applications
We have developed a prototype of a miniature prism based optical system for simultaneous acquisition of two stereoscopic images on a single image sensor. The scheme and optical characteristics of the system are presented. We show that after a proper geometrical calibration and image processing it is possible to calculate three dimensional (3 D) shape of the inspected objects. The devices based on this system may be effectively used for 3 D machine vision applications and remote visual inspection.
