ABSTRACT:
A three-dimensional photographic system includes a source of pulsed-optical radiation characterized by an output optical pulse of risetime length less than the depth resolution desired of an object to be photographed. The pulse is directed on the object; the reflected radiation from the object is collected by an array of optical lenslets (lenticular plate), which forms a corresponding array of images of the object. This array of images is streaked, for example, by a streaking image converter tube, to form a corresponding array of streaked images in accordance with the said array of images of the object as a function of time. The array of streaked images is then recorded by a photographic film camera on other recording means; the recorded film can then be analyzed or viewed with human eyes for the purpose of three-dimensional analysis or viewing of the object. Particularly one optical pulse enables a recording which can subsequently be unscrambled to yield a three-dimensional image for measurement or for binocular viewing even though the distance of the object for the viewing point is much too great for normal binocular stereoscopic perception of depth.
