Patent Images

1. A system for generating a three-dimensional image comprising:

  • an imaging apparatus configured to record a first image of a subject at a first location and a second image of the subject at a second location;

    a motion sensor to detect movement of the imaging apparatus from the first location to the second location and record displacement data reflecting the movement of the imaging apparatus, the displacement data including lateral transition data; and

    a processor configured to select corresponding points, which are points on the first and second images that correspond to a same point on the subject, and to generate a three-dimensional image of the subject by combining the first image and the second image using the corresponding points and the displacement data.
