3-D Glasses
From Institute

> The trouble with robots and
other automated systems
equipped with artificial
vision is that their eyes "see"
• the world as two-dimension-
/ --)al. As a result, they have great
difficulty in assessing the rel-
ative positions of objects.
Existing ways for robots to
reconstruct 3-D images tend
to be slow and cumbersome,
/- but two Weizmann Institute
physicists have developed a
3-D imaging technique that
greatly speeds up and simpli-
/—fies this process.
The system — developed
by Drs. Daniel Zajman and
Oded Heber of the Particle
( FPhysics Department — uses
two regular video camera, ,a
light source and a transparent
fluorescent screen placed
between the cameras and the
object to be filmed. When
Plight is reflected off the
object, it strikes the screen
and creates a flash that the
cameras record along with
--)] the image of the object. One
- camera films continuously,
while the other has a shutter
that opens for only a bil-
lionth of a second at a time,
• r egistering just a minute frac-
tion of the light particles
emitted by the flashes.
Because both the speed of
light and the time it takes for
the flashes to fade on the
screen are known, it is possi-
ble to determine the exact
distance between the screen
and each point on the
object's
. surface. This infor-
i turn, is combined
mation, in
with data from the 2-D pic-
