Lynn Abbott (monitor) and Ph.D. student Anbumani Subramanian (seated) are using a moving aperture camera lens (left) that yields enhanced depth images. They are developing software to extract layers that correspond to 3-D objects at different distances from the camera.
This method may eventually eliminate the extra equipment for “blue screen” imaging currently used by the film industry, as well as aid in 3-D video broadcasting, video compression, and video conferencing. The lens is from research sponsor Vision III Imaging, Inc.
