Stereoscopic picture obtaining device

摘要

Two pictures of a subject obtained by objective lenses 101 and 102 from different locations of viewpoint are respectively rotated by dove prisms 103 and 104, 90 degrees clockwise, and then merged into a single picture by total reflection mirrors 105 to 108. The picture after synthesis is reduced at a predetermined ratio by a condenser lens 109, and then projected onto a pickup plane of a CCD 110. It is therefore possible to obtain stereoscopic pictures having parallax as a single picture using a single camera without narrowing the effective fields of view of right and left pictures of different viewpoints. <IMAGE>
