Researchers create technology that turns ordinary cameras … – Globo.com

A team of engineers and researchers from Duke University in the United States, created a method that allows ordinary cameras can produce 3D images. Using current, present technologies in several models, such as focus and image stabilization, the researchers created lens capable of capturing depth information, defining a three-dimensional image.

The idea of ​​the engineers was to use the image stabilization systems present in many cameras. These systems work by moving the lens to compensate for fluctuations caused by the user at the time of shooting.

The researchers used this characteristic to the cameras rather than void jerky movements at the time of shooting , capture variations of light on objects at close range, exposing different perspectives and creating an image with depth of field.

The end result are 2D images that contain files with depth mapping image, which describes the position of each pixel in this picture. Using business graphics rendering engines, such as those applied in computer games, you can combine map information and photo to generate a three-dimensional image.

The study is still in phases initials, since all the apparatus needed to make 3D photos need to be confined to the laboratory. But in the future, a mature version of this technique can allow high quality DSLR cameras are able to record three-dimensional images with simple adjustments and very competitive costs.
