ABSTRACT:
A stereoscopic image sensor may be formed of a single image sensor having a pair of fields formed therein. The fields may be closer to one another than are a pair of left and right image collectors. The close spacing may be achieved by using an image redirector to redirect image information from the spaced apart collectors to the less spaced apart fields on the image sensor. In some embodiments of the present invention, by using a single imaging sensor, a more compact structure may be achieved which may be of lower cost and may enjoy reduced processing complexity. In addition, because a single sensor is utilized, in some embodiments of the present invention, the left and right images may be captured essentially identically.
