3D LAPAROSCOPIC IMAGE CAPTURE APPARATUS WITH A SINGLE IMAGE SENSOR

摘要

A image capture apparatus includes a first lens (110) for receiving a first image (115), a second lens (120) for receiving a second image (125), and a mirror (130, 140) and prism (150, 160) assembly configured to receive the first and second images (115, 125). The apparatus further includes a single image sensor (170) configured to receive the first and second images (115, 125). The first image (115) is projected onto the first side (310) of the single image sensor (170) and the second image (125) is projected onto the second side (320) of the single image sensor (170).
