  • Method and apparatus for capturing three dimensional image
    Patent number: 10162256
    Abstract: An apparatus for imaging a 3D image includes an opening through which an image passes and a plurality of lens components to obtain the image, and covers up the inside thereof visible through the opening by using a covering member.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 1, 2011
    Date of Patent: December 25, 2018
    Assignee: Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd
    Inventors: Takashima Masahiro, Bong-gi Kim, Tae-kyung Kim
  • Method for improving 3 dimensional effect and reducing visual fatigue and apparatus enabling the same
    Patent number: 8760502
    Abstract: A method and an apparatus for improving three dimensional (3D) effect of a 3D image collected by a 3D photographing apparatus, and reducing visual fatigue, are provided. A feature point of a left-eye image entering through a left-eye lens and of a right-eye image entering through a right-eye lens is acquired, a disparity between the left- and right-eye images is detected, a distance between the left- and right-eye lenses is controlled so that the disparity between the left- and right-eye images becomes a previously-set reference disparity, and at least one of the left- and right-eye images is shifted so that a convergence point is placed on an object located within the left- and right-eye images.

  • Apparatus for imaging three-dimensional image
    Patent number: 8503874
    Abstract: A three-Dimensional (3D) imaging apparatus is provided. The 3D imaging apparatus includes a first member including a first region and a second region therein; at least one second member movably coupled to the first member such that the at least one second member is movable out of and into the second region; a plurality of lens units disposed in the first region while the at least one second member is disposed in the second region, wherein, when the at least one second member moves out of the second region, at least one of the plurality of the lens units moves from the first region into the second region.
