Endoscopic three-dimensional imaging systems and methods

Abstract

Disclosed is an endoscopic imaging system, comprising a camera, a plurality of GRIN lenses, a processor, and a memory. Each GRIN optical lens can have a first end configured to be inserted into a cavity of a subject and receive light reflected from a point of interest in the cavity of the patient and a second end configured to transmit the light to the camera. The light can be representative of a distinct image of a perspective view of the point of interest relative to the respective GRIN optical lens. The system can: generate image data corresponding to the light received from each of the plurality of GRIN optical lenses; deconvolve the image data to generate deconvolved image data representative of the distinct images; and generate, using the deconvolved image data, 3D image data representative of a 3D image of the point of interest.
