ELECTRONIC PHOTO CAMERA Russian patent published in 2000 - IPC

FIELD: photo equipment. SUBSTANCE: device uses electronic digital method for production of images. Device has optical system, trigger, image sensor, analog- to-digital converter, memory unit and image displaying unit. In addition device has selector of even and odd vertical columns of image sensor, repeated exposition device and linear slot vertical raster. Optical system of camera has two identical optical channels, which optical axes are located in horizontal plane. Said channels are equipped with shutters and device for alteration of converging angle of optical axes and provide possibility to produce images of left and right perspectives of shot object on reading surface of image sensor. Image sensor is connected to analog-to-digital converter through signal selector. Trigger is connected to shutter of one optical channel directly and to shutter of another optical channel through repeated exposition device. Linear slot vertical raster is located at constant distance from screen of image displaying unit. This results in possibility to design digital camera which can check quality of stereo image directly upon shooting and possibility to produce parallax image, which is suitable for printing stereo photos using computer and printer. EFFECT: increased functional capabilities. 2 dwg
