  • Patent number: 9420253
    Abstract: A novel system and method of presenting realistic designs of physical objects in real spaces employing stereoscopic-3D (three-dimensional) photographic images. The method visually integrates images of objects with images of customer-specified interior or exterior spaces using software to manage the process in 3D space, yielding stereoscopic-3D photographic images of design decisions. The system includes: stereoscopic-3D images, some of which are omnidirectional; software, a computing system and display for viewing and combining multiple stereoscopic-3D images; and a data management system for maintaining and creating appropriate customer-specified views of vendor goods available for integration.

  • Publication number: 20080298674
    Abstract: An imaging system for producing stereoscopic panoramic images using multiple coplanar pairs of image capture devices with overlapping fields of view held in a rigid structural frame for long term calibration maintenance. Pixels are dynamically adjusted within the imaging system for position, color, brightness, aspect ratio, lens imperfections, imaging chip variations and any other imaging system shortcomings that are identified during calibration processes. Correction of pixel information is implemented in various combinations of hardware and software. Corrected image data is then available for storage or display or for separate data processing actions such as object distance or volume calculations.

  • Patent number: 7224382
    Abstract: A system, method and device for the capture and display of high-resolution stereoscopic or monoscopic wide fields-of-view (FOV) at still or video rates, presenting techniques and designs for distance measuring, for changing the working stereo capture range of a stereoscopic image capture device, and for playing pre-recorded or transmitted stereoscopic video image data through a player unit. The system supports multiple independent viewers and image analysis sub-systems of various types utilizing hardware, software and firmware. Further included is a stereoscopic videoconferencing embodiment that captures and transmits an entire room's view and automatically directs focus of images.
