Scientists developed an adaptive system to accurately extract 3D data while maintaining the ability to capture a full-resolution 2D image without a dramatic system change, such as switching out a lens. Credit: © Artur Marciniec / Fotolia
A team of engineers has discovered how to harness the image stabilization and focus modules of a modern, digital camera to unlock new 3D imaging capabilities: ie repurposing its existing components. This new capability was successfully demonstrated in a proof-of-concept laboratory experiment using a small deformable mirror -a reflective surface that can direct and focus light.
The purpose of the experiment was to extract depth-of-field information from a “single shot” image – rather than traditional 3D imaging techniques that require multiple images- with...
