Engineers from Harvard University have learned to do 3D with a single lens
Production of three-dimensional images usually requires a few non-standard methods of recording. One of these methods - is the use of two lenses, creating a stereoscopic image. Experts from Harvard proposed a new solution for creating 3D-images, which requires no new hardware, and costs only a single lens. new method works by creating two pictures of a camera or microscope. Luggage when it is not moving, but each image is focused at different depths.
Then, the resulting images are passed through the developed software responsible for the calculation of the angle of light falling on each pixel. This practice allows the computer to determine exactly how the image should look like the shot with raznh positions, as if he were shooting different lenses. experts describe a new technique in the latest issue of the scientific journal Optics Letters in the United States.
The article says that the image can be "fused" together to create a stereo animation, which is the most promising area for the new approach.
