Abstract
In one embodiment, an elementtransform, with a voltage, non-polarized light into plane polarized light with an arbitrary plane of polarization. A synchronizergives the plane of polarization control elementan instruction to rotate the plane of polarization, thereby getting the plane of polarization of the illumination rotated and casting that polarized light toward the object. At the same time, the synchronizersends a shooting start signal to an image sensor, thereby getting video. The synchronizerperforms these processing steps multiple times. A captured video signal is sent to an image processing processor, where LL, RR and CC images are separately generated as images of light rays that have passed through left and right polarizing areas and the central non-polarizing area and left and right parallax signals are generated and sent to a 3D display section
