Abstract

This paper represents the design of 3D endoscopic image processing system in order to Improve visualization and enhance the ability of the surgeon to perform delicate endoscopic surgery. The proposed 3D systems have four features of stereo endoscopic image processing The multiplexer give field seauential stereo for recording and for aligning cameras and viewing stereo with 3D monitor. Demultiplexing of the field sequential image which separates out the R and L images for dual TFT-LCD 3D monitor viewed with passive polarized glasses. separable processing of the left and right eye images, and design of TFT-LCD 3D monitor. The viewing angle, zone, and image quality of the Polarization-type Stereoscopic Display (SM500TFT-3D) system which we have developed using 15 Samsung TFT-1.CD with a screen resolution of 1024×768 pixels were measured and compared with those of Electric Shutter-type Stereoscopic Display system. The result of experiments shows that the Polarization-type Stereoscopic Display System using TFT-LCD has a wade viewing angle and zone which Is necessary fort multi-view and it has better image quality and stability of the optical performances than the Electric Shutter-type does.

본 논문은 내시경 수술시 입체영상을 제공하여 수술의 편리성과 정확성을 향상시키기 위한 고화질 3차원 내시경 영상의 처리와 디스플레이 방법을 연구하였다. 기존의 3타원 내시경 수술을 위한 디스플레이 방법은 안경 차용의 무게감과 플리커가 심한 전자셔터 방식으로 사용의 불편함이 많았다 된 연구에서는 기존 내시경 영상의 3D 디스플레이 방식인 전자셔터식에 대한 입체 영상의 특징을 분석하고, 이에 대한 문제점을 보완하기 위한 편광방식의 입체 영상처리와 재현 방법에 대하여 연구하였다. 또한 설계한 디스플레이 시스템의 성능 평가를 수행하여 기존 방식인 CRT방식에 의한 영상재현 방법에 비해 화질과 시야각 특성에서 우수함을 확인하였다.
