Method for capturing three dimensional image

摘要

A method for capturing a three dimensional (3D) image by using a single-lens camera is provided. First, a first image is captured. According to a focus distance of the single-lens camera in capturing the first image and an average distance between two human eyes, an overlap width between the first image and a second image required for capturing the second image of the 3D image is calculated. Then, the first image and a real-time image captured by the single-lens camera are displayed, and an overlap area is marked on the first image according to the calculated overlap width. A horizontal shift of the single-lens camera is adjusted, to locate the real-time image in the overlap area. Finally, the real-time image is captured as the second image, and the first and second images are output as the 3D image.

1. A method for capturing a three dimensional (3D) image by using a single-lens camera, comprising:
capturing a first image; calculating an overlap width between the first image and a second image required for capturing the second image of the 3D image according to a focus distance of the single-lens camera from the step of capturing the first image and an average distance between two human eyes; displaying and overlapping the first image and a real-time image currently captured by the single-lens camera in a manner of alternately displaying the first image and the real time image on different scanning lines, wherein the first image and the real-time image are alternatively displayed either on odd-numbered scanning lines or even-numbered scanning lines of a displayed picture, and wherein the first image and the real time image are displayed with different colors; marking an overlap area between the first image and the real time image on the first image according to the overlap width; adjusting a horizontal shift of the single-lens camera, to locate the real-time image in the overlap area; and capturing the real-time image as the second image.
