  • Patent number: 3932699
    Abstract: A depth perception television system is described. Light radiation from a three-dimensional scene is collected by a convergent lens and transmitted through a lenticulated grid onto the face of a light radiation sensing tube of a television camera. The lenticulated grid is made up of a multiplicity of vertically oriented lens elements, each of which has a generally cylindrical arc incident surface and a generally planar exit surface. Such lenticulated grid acts to separate light radiation received thereby into a plurality of image elements of each aspect of the scene and then focus the same at predetermined locations on the pick-up surface of the camera. An electrical signal representative of the locations on the face of the camera at which such image elements are focused is formed in a conventional manner by the camera and transmitted to a monitor which conventionally displays such image elements on a display screen, such as the face of a cathode ray tube.
