Single sensor three-dimensional image generator and method of generating image

Abstract

Abstract PURPOSE: To obtain a stereoscopic image of a flying object with one sensor by providing a video image generating sensor turnable on a turning board, a video image comparator electronic device and a display device and tracking an optical system placed at the tip of the sensor to a moving object. CONSTITUTION: A video image generating sensor 12 incorporating a lens 24 being an optical system, a focus plane 22, and a sensor electronic device 23 is placed on a moving board 20 and the sensor 12 is set freely turnably on the moving board 20. A video processing electronic device 26 and a display device 28 placed at the end are fixed to a rear part of the sensor 12 while being placed to an end ridge of the moving board 20. Thus, a single sensor 3-dimensional video image generator is configured and the vertical movement is conducted by the vertical movement of the moving board 20 so as to track a lens 24 at the tip of the sensor 12 with a direction of an object 14 at all times. Then the video image captured by the lens 24 is processed into a 3-dimensional image by the device 26 and the resulting image is displayed on the display device 28 to facilitate aerial patrol with stereoscopic photography.
