STEREOSCOPIC OPTICAL SYSTEM AND IMAGE PICKUP APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18318034 titled 'STEREOSCOPIC OPTICAL SYSTEM AND IMAGE PICKUP APPARATUS
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a stereoscopic optical system that consists of two parallel optical systems.
- Each optical system includes multiple lens units and two reflective surfaces on the image side.
- The distance between adjacent lens units in each optical system changes when zooming.
- The distance between the optical axes of the two optical systems is narrower on the image side than on the object side.
- The system satisfies a predetermined condition.
- The invention aims to improve the stereoscopic imaging capabilities of the optical system.
Original Abstract Submitted
A stereoscopic optical system includes two optical systems disposed in parallel. Each of the two optical systems includes a plurality of lens units and two reflective surfaces disposed on an image side of the plurality of lens units. A distance between adjacent lens units in each of the two optical systems changes during zooming. A distance between optical axes of the two optical systems is narrower on the image side of the two reflective surfaces than on an object side of the two reflective surfaces. A predetermined condition is satisfied.
