Abstract
A stereo imaging apparatus using a single image intensifier is comprised of an input responsive to incident radiation corresponding to first and second views. An image intensifier is responsive to the input for simultaneously intensifying the incident radiation corresponding to the first and second views. An output is provided for the intensified radiation.
Claims24
A stereo imaging apparatus using a single image intensifier, comprising:
- input means responsive to incident radiation corresponding to first and second views of the same object;
- an image intensifier responsive to said input means for simultaneously intensifying the incident radiation corresponding to the first and second views;
- and
- means for outputting said intensified radiation.
A stereo imaging apparatus using a single image intensifier to produce an intensified stereo image, comprising:
- first input means responsive to incident radiation corresponding to a first view of an object;
- second input means responsive to incident radiation corresponding to a second view of the same object;
- an image intensifier simultaneously responsive to said first and second input means for providing output radiation corresponding to the first and second views, said output radiation being of a higher intensity than the incident radiation;
- first means for outputting the intensified radiation corresponding to the first view;
- and
- second means for outputting the intensified radiation corresponding to the second view such that said first and second views provide an intensified stereo image.
A method of producing an intensified stereo image, comprising the steps of:
- inputting radiation corresponding to a first view of an object to a first portion of an image intensifier;
- inputting radiation corresponding to a second view of the same object to a second portion of the image intensifier;
- simultaneously intensifying the radiation corresponding to the first and second views;
- and outputting the intensified radiation.
