Snapshot dual-view 3D imaging

Abstract

Multi-view 3D imaging is an indispensable imaging method for self-driving, 3D modeling, and other fields. However, there remains a scarcity of fast and efficient multi-view 3D imaging methods. In the present study, a snapshot dual-view 3D imaging setup based on the Coded Aperture Imaging method was introduced and experimentally demonstrated. The proposed method can simultaneously obtain 3D information from different views by means of a streak camera and two independent masks. Compared with traditional 3D imaging technology, our technique can meet the integrity and real-time requirements of 3D imaging while reducing the hardware cost of existing multi-view imaging methods.
