Abstract

In this paper, we propose a novel 3-D endoscope system by using grid-based active stereo. In the proposed system, projection of a waved-grid pattern that consists of vertical and horizontal sinusoidal lines realizes accurate shape acquisition in sub-pixel accuracy. We develop a small pattern projector implementable to a head of a ready-made endoscope, and examine 3-D shape reconstruction by actual equipment. As the result of the measurement for a known-shaped object, which is a hexagonal cylinder, the error of length measurement is below 0.9% and the error of angle measurement is below 2.2%. We make a measurement of animal organ meat, and confirm that the system can reconstruct a 3-D shape of the organ surface.
