Design of a single-lens stereo camera system

Abstract A camera system is designed that can obtain stereo information in a single shot and through a single lens. A single image obtained by this camera is equivalent to two images obtained by two aligned cameras with exactly the same optical properties. In this system, stereo is achieved by viewing the reflections of a scene in two mirrors that have a common axis. The angle between the mirrors may be changed to adjust the field of vision of the camera and to fixate at desired points in a scene.
