<p>1,175,253. Photo-grammetry. J.W. KNAUF. Sept.12, 1967 [Oct.28, 1966], No.41669/67. Heading G1F. In a photo-grammetric plotting apparatus e.g. a Kelsh plotter, employing optical projection, light from lamps in projection mechanisms 31, 48 is directed through a stereo-pair of diapositives 26 supported in carriers to produce a stereoscopic image which may be viewed through a viewing mechanism 86, shutter mechanisms being provided to alternately shut-off and allow the passage of light to each diapositive, such that only one diapositive is illuminated at any one time, the viewing mechanism also being provided with a shutter which allows alternate viewing of the image from one diapositive and the other in correspondence with the alternate illumination thereof to increase the steroscopic effect in the viewed image. The carrier for the diapositives are gymbal mounted and carried on horizontal cross-bars 20, 21. Arms 32, 46 carry the projection mechanisms 31,48 and by way of parallelogram linkages the light from these mechanisms is always directed so that the images of the diapositives are superimposed to give the desired stereoscopic effect. Telescopic arms 78, 79 connect the diapositive carriers to a frame structure 70 supporting a viewing platen 68. The shutters are mounted in the projection mechanisms 31, 48 and are in the form of segmented drums rotated in the path of the projected light by stepping motors which ensure that light only emanates from one mechanism 31 or 48 at the time. The viewing mechanism also incorporates a shutter in the form of an apertured cylinder rotated by a stepping motor in synchronism with the drive to the shutters in the mechanisms 31, 48, this shutter allowing only one eye to view the diapositive image at the time, i.e. the right eye only views the right side diapositive and vice-versa. Provision for reversed stereoscopic vision is also incorporated as this is useful in locating the "floating point" datum. In alternative embodiments for use with other plotters, the shutters for the projection mechanisms are located beneath the diapositives and an alternative viewing mechanism described comprises a pair of spectacles having an endless film driven by a stepping motor across the fronts of the lens, the film having uniform transparent and opaque areas.</p> |
