Three-dimensional imaging system

A three-dimensional imaging system is described which exploits the defocusing of non-zero diffraction order images caused by the quadratic distortion of a diffraction grating ( 4 ). An optical system ( 1 ) is used such that objects ( 5, 6 and 7 ), located at different distances from grating ( 4 ), a...

Zusammenfassung:A three-dimensional imaging system is described which exploits the defocusing of non-zero diffraction order images caused by the quadratic distortion of a diffraction grating ( 4 ). An optical system ( 1 ) is used such that objects ( 5, 6 and 7 ), located at different distances from grating ( 4 ), are imaged simultaneously and spatially separated on a single plane B.
