Endoscopes are widely used in industry, medical treatment and home use due to their small size and high definition. Currently, endoscopes on the market are divided into two types: monocular endoscopes and binocular endoscopes.
Monocular cameras are composed of one camera, and they can only capture images from a single perspective. Monocular lenses usually achieve observation in the form of front-view or side-view.
Binocular endoscopes are composed of two cameras. It is commonly used in the market to install lenses on the front and side of the endoscope pipe respectively, so that the front view and side view can be switched in the same borescope.
Binocular simultaneous display endoscope combines two cameras and installs them on the front of the endoscope to achieve simultaneous display of two images. Through algorithm processing, binocular cameras can simulate the visual effects of the human eye and achieve functions such as depth perception and three-dimensional reconstruction. This technology is used more in areas such as face recognition, gesture recognition, and virtual reality.
The function of binocular endoscope:
1. Ranging and target detection. Binocular cameras can accurately measure the distance between the target object and the camera. This measurement is based on the principle of binocular triangulation and is achieved by calculating the parallax between the same points under two viewing angles. This function is widely used in smart cars and security Areas such as surveillance are particularly important. For example, in smart cars, binocular cameras can be used to detect lane lines, traffic signs, pedestrians and other vehicles, as well as measure distances to these targets.
2. Three-dimensional visual effects. Binocular cameras imitate the human visual system, perceive depth information through the image difference between the two cameras, and generate three-dimensional images. This enables binocular cameras to capture more realistic three-dimensional visual effects. Compared with monocular cameras, binocular cameras can Provide richer spatial information.
