The camera described here makes color TV images that include information about the distance between the camera and the objects in the images. This range information is obtained from two images of the same scene taken under different illumination conditions. The camera does not require scanning, multiple camera units, or complicated computation. Range information for each pixel is acquired fast enough to keep up with the video rate of a TV camera. We describe various operational features and…

Real-time depth-mapping three-dimension TV camera (Axi-Vision camera)
TLDR
A three-dimension camera (Axi-Vision camera) has been developed that is capable of producing a color image of an object and performing high-speed mapping of depth information from the camera to the object, and it was shown that the depth information obtained could be applied to live-action filming and to CG and other new types of image synthesis.
High-definition real-time depth-mapping TV camera: HDTV Axi-Vision Camera.
TLDR
A field-worthy, high-definition, real-time depth-mapping television camera called the HDTV Axi-Vision Camera, which can simultaneously capture both an ordinary HDTV color image and a depth image of objects.

Gain-modulated Axi-Vision Camera (high speed high-accuracy depth-mapping camera).
TLDR
The merits of the Gain-modulated Axi-Vision Camera are high-resolution, real-time operation, and a relatively simple optical system, which primarily arise from the ultra-fast exposure time using a pulsed laser diode.

We have developed an improved version of a high-definition real-time depth-mapping Axi-Vision Camera that enhances the speed of the depth detection, reduces external light interference, and is more…
Acquisition of three-dimensional coordinates of objects from Axi-Vision image data and application to stereoscopic display using integral photography system
TLDR
Aliasing, an issue from mismatch of image qualities between the 3D image data and the IP system, is effectively suppressed by pre-processing the color Axi-Vision image data using a two-dimensional lowpass filter, which is designed based on analyses of the maximum spatial frequency of the3D image transformed appropriate for the LCD size and the Nyquist spatial frequency.
Using Axi-Vision image data for 3D displays
TLDR
The problem of mismatch between the image capture and display systems is addressed and solved, and the results a stereoscopic display using an integral photography (IP) system is applied.

TLDR
A laser time-of-flight range scanner capable of acquiring a reasonable rangepic of 64 × 64 spatial resolution in 4 s is described, however, at the current state of development, 100 samples/point are required to achieve a range accuracy of approxi-mately ±¿ cm.

TLDR
Experimental results show that a two meters measurable range is obtained wit a 50 mW laser power, the standard deviations of the depth images with 5 by 5 median filtering are about 1 percent of the measured depth, and the object color has little effect on the measured Depth except when the reflectance of the object is very small.
Light sectioning with large depth and high resolution.
TLDR
The specific goal is to demonstrate that high resolution and large depth can be achieved simultaneously, thus overcoming the major limitation of conventional light sectioning.
Laser range finder based on synchronized scanners.
TLDR
A new geometrical arrangement is proposed to improve performances of optical triangulation, which allows considerable reduction of the optical head size compared with usual geometries, so the shadow effects are reduced proportionally.
