Current 3-D capture techniques are bulky and expensive, lacking consumer-friendly options. This thesis proposes an integrated 3-D camera using laser ranging and biscopic imaging, enabling easy 3-D image capture for various applications from hobbies to robotics. By combining a low-power laser ranging device for distance data and biscopic imaging, the camera automates 3-D color image creation. The impact of this technology would allow consumers and surveyors to effortlessly capture 3-D images, with potential applications in machine vision and enhanced image processing capabilities. The RealVision Point and Click Digital Holographic Camera designed by Jeremy Choens aims to revolutionize the way 3-D images are captured and processed, offering a user-friendly solution for various needs.

Problem: 3-D capture techniques currently require bulky, costly equipment, and a well trained operator. No consumer available camera of any type currently exists that incorporates 3-D viewing. Approach: Thesis: The flexibility of an integrated 3-D camera would suit the needs of photo-hobbyists up through robotics applications. Approach: Combine laser ranging with a biscopic imaging system. How: By using a servo-mounted low power laser ranging device to gather direct distance information, while simultaneously taking biscopic imaging information, using the laser as a targeting device, it would be possible to create a 3-D color image automatically. Impact: Consumer users and surveyors would be able to take essentially effortless 3-D images with at most the help of a laptop. Applications to machine vision obviously follow, and the format of the pictures would be necessarily enhanced with distance information, allowing for innovations in edge tracing and image processing.
