A Compact Active Stereovision System with Dynamic Reconfiguration for Endoscopy or Colonoscopy Applications
Résumé
A new concept of endoscopic device based on a compact optical probe which can capture 3D shape of objects using an active stereovision method is presented. The distinctive feature of this probe is its capability to dynamically switch between two distinct points of view. If the first measurement angle of view does not give results with sufficient quality, the system can switch to a second mode which sets distinct angle of view within less than 25 milliseconds. This feature consequently allows selecting the angle that provides the more useful 3D information and enhances the quality of the captured result. The instrumental setup of this measurement system and the reconstruction algorithms are presented in this paper. Then, the advantages of this new endoscopic probe are explained with an experimental 3D reconstruction of a coin's surface. Finally, first measurements on a phantom colon are provided. In future works, further miniaturization of the device and its integration into a real colonoscope will be implemented.
