Multidirectional camera 3-D vision system for micro operation

Handling of micro-objects about 0.1 mm square is essential in the fields of biotechnology and micromachine production. These operations have some difficulty because it requires unnatural hand manipulations under the microscopic images. So the productivity of those operations is not high. To solve these problems, a 3-D software camera system has been introduced. The system consists of two subsystems: the 3-D entire shape model with texture extraction system; and the stereo image generation system. The method of the 3-D model extraction system using multidirectional camera is introduced, then the attempt to generate the stereo image from the 3-D model is described
