Abstract
When a camera is modified by placing two or more displaced apertures with color filters within the imaging system, it is possible to estimate the distances of objects from the camera and to create 3-d images. In this paper, we develop the key equations necessary to estimate the distance of an object and discuss the feasibility of such a system for distance estimation in applications such as robot vision, human computer interfaces, intelligent visual surveillance, 3-d image acquisition, and intelligent driver assistance systems. In particular, we discuss how accurately these distances may be estimated and describe how distance estimation may be performed in real-time using an appropriately modified video camera.
