Abstract
A stereo imaging apparatus comprises two groups of optical imaging lens (111,112), two liquid crystal optical valves (116, 117), a first plane reflector (114), a second plane reflector (115), a third reflector (113), a single image sensor (120), an image process circuit (130), and an optical valve synchronization drive module (140). The two groups of optical imaging lens (111, 112) simulate eyes to receive outside light. The first and the second plane reflector (114,115) reflect the light from the first and the second groups of optical imaging lens (111,112) respectively. The third reflector (113) is placed between the first and the second plane reflector (114,115) to reflect the light reflected by the first and the second plane reflectors (114,115). The image sensor (120) receives the light reflected the light reflected by the third reflector (113) on its imaging plane to form images. The image process circuit (130) controls the optical valve synchronization drive module (140) and processes the image signals from the image sensor (120) to form stereo image signals. Also, a stereo imaging method is provided. By employing the apparatus and method for stereoscopic imaging, a stereoscopic image with good imaging effect can be obtained with low cost.
