CAMERA DEVICE FOR ACQUIRING STEREO IMAGES WITH ONE SENSOR

摘要

A camera device for acquiring stereo images with one sensor is provided. The camera comprises: two apertures in a housing of the camera device, the two apertures separated by a human interocular distance; a sensor for sequentially acquiring electronic images from each of the two apertures; at least one minor enabled to change state for sequentially directing light from each of the two apertures to the sensor; and a controller for synchronizing the sensor with the state of the at least one mirror such that a first electronic image is acquired at the sensor from a first one of the two apertures when the at least one mirror is in a first state and a second electronic image is acquired at the sensor from the other of the two apertures when the at least one minor is in a second state.
