3D video camera recording and playing with a sonar system

[Category : - Audio - Video]
[Viewed 2074 times]

The invention relates to a device which is used to film, record and reproduce video images in real time with a three dimensional appearance, using a video camera and a sonar system in order to obtain the depth information. According to the invention, an electronic system divides up the original image filmed in BGR format and each image is modified in accordance with the depth register (or programming) in order to form new images. Each image corresponds to a determined distance level. The result is displayed on a monitor comprising various independent transparent LCD (liquid crystal display) screens which are aligned one after the other. By displaying the images simultaneously, a single image is formed for the spectator, said image creating an appearance of volume and three-dimensional perception similar to low relief.

The depth, video and sound signals are transmitted directly for reproduction purposes and to the magnetic tape recording system for storage purposes, using three magnetic tape heads.

This invention describes a 3D color video camera to record and reproduce stereoscopic colored video images with three dimensional effect in real time. In this invention, images are recorded together with the depth information of the filmed objects measured by a sonar system. With this information, images can be displayed in a 3D display composed for several overlapped LCD screens. Each screen displays a respective image according to the depth. Then, all screens together display a color video image with 3D perception.
It can be also applied in other devices to reach new devices such as video games with 3D perception and movies, where images can be both, recorded or programmed, just including the information of depth in the program, and in sonar applications with devices capable to reproduce stereoscopic images from of depth information.
