Real scene acquisition and holographic near-eye display system based on a zoom industrial endoscope

Abstract

In this paper, we propose a real scene acquisition and holographic near-eye display system based on a zoom industrial endoscope. By controlling the driving current of the liquid lens, the working distance and focal length of the zoom industrial endoscope can be tuned accordingly. Thus, the object at different depths can be captured. Then, the sub-sampling algorithm is used to generate the hologram. By adjusting the hologram sampling rate of the objects with different depths, the holographic near-eye 3D display can be realized. Experimental results demonstrate that the working distance of the zoom industrial endoscope can be tuned from 20 mm to 200 mm with the driving current changing from 80 mA to 190 mA. With the proposed system, the human eye can intuitively see the depth relationships among the real objects. The proposed system is expected to be applied to 3D display and industrial inspection fields.
