3D sensing and visualization of micro-objects using axially distributed image capture

In this paper, we propose a 3D sensing and visualization of micro-objects using an axially distributed image capture system. In the proposed method, the micro-object is optically magnified and the axial images of magnified micro-object are recorded using axially distributed image capture. The recorded images are used to visualize the 3D scene using the computational reconstruction algorithm based on ray back-projection. To show the usefulness of the proposed method, we carry out preliminary experiments and present the results.
