Abstract
An apparatus for composing stereoscopic photographs uses a two-stage optical enlarging system. The two-stage system enables one step composing of a stereoscopic photograph without spacial separation or movement of the two-dimensional views from which the photograph is composed.
Claims8
Apparatus for composing a stereoscopic photograph from a plurality N of adjacent two-dimensional views of an object field taken from spaced vantage points relative to the field, comprising:
- means for enlarging said adjacent N two-dimensional views to form a corresponding plurality N of adjacent enlarged two-dimensional images of said views;
- and
- means, including a corresponding plurality N of projecting lenses, for projecting said N enlarged two-dimensional images through a lenticular screen of lenticule width w and on to a photosensitive surface positioned therebehind, with the projected image from each enlarged image of a selected object in the object field in substantial registry with a reference point, so as to form behind each lenticule of said screen a corresponding plurality N of condensed images which are spaced apart by substantially w/N.
