Possible Prior Art: Prior art may include existing methods for measuring depth in stereoscopic images, such as using disparity maps or depth estimation algorithms.
Unanswered Questions: 1. How does this system handle complex or dynamic scenes with multiple depths? 2. What are the limitations of this technology in terms of depth range and accuracy?
Original Abstract Submitted
A system for measuring a depth of a stereoscopic image includes a display device displaying a stereoscopic image at a predetermined depth of field; a holographic camera generating an interference pattern image by sensing a wavelength and a phase of light of the stereoscopic image; and a control unit calculating a plurality of modulated image data having image information of the stereoscopic image at each depth of the plurality of depths based on the wavelength and the phase of the light, calculating edges of a field in each of the plurality of modulated image data to obtain edge detection values, calculating a modulated signal by arranging the edge detection values according to a depth in the each of the plurality of modulated image data, calculating a first maximum value of the modulated signal, and calculating a first depth corresponding to the first maximum value as the depth of field.
