| Trifocal Camera Readied for Live 3D Posted: 22 Jan 2013 12:40 AM PST The days of stereo 3D mirror rigs could be numbered if new technology being devised by Arri, the Fraunhofer Institute and Walt Disney Studios comes to fruition. The trio of companies have just begun a second phase of tests in Berlin on a trifocal camera system that comprises a single Arri M camera sandwiched between two micro HD cameras developed by Fraunhofer, alongside a computer processor. The dual witness cameras capture enough information on set to be combined into depth maps by Fraunhofer's STAN Stereoscopic Analyzer software (which features in the DVS Clipster post tool), for the post production of live action content in 3D.
The concept would negate the need for cumbersome 3D camera rigs, allow an on-set 3D workflow similar to 2D, and in theory help produce 3D content without the glitches inherent in lens misalignment. Disparity-estimation techniques based on the three captured images should allow a second-eye view to be rendered at a virtual interaxial distance that is defined in post. "If successful we will go into a third test in April this year and if that is successful it will be used on a major film production," revealed Kathleen Schroeter, executive manager 3D Innovation Centre, Berlin Fraunhofer Institute. She said this was currently planned to be a 20-minute short film or a 20-minute sequence within a longer feature, both produced by Disney. "The current trifocal system is for post production, but the next step is to render the data in real time so that we can produce live broadcast programming without rigs," she added. Curiously the initiative has come from Disney in Hollywood, rather than Disney's own research institute in Zurich, which is also exploring ways of creating 3D content using plenoptic lenses and computational cinematography.

Re: Please can you give me some advice
Hello william,
"While there is no specific meaning for high-definition,"
First lets understand the question.
When I think definition, there is resolution and then is image quality in terms of sharpness, contrast, color saturation and noise level.
The smallest lens is effectively a pin hole camera. If you are unsure what that is, it's a fun kids science experiment to google or YouTube search for.
Pixel Resolution is unaffected by the lens size and it purely about the sensor.
Sharpness actually. Increases as a smaller lens can be less accurate and produce a shaper image. In addition focus is also less of an issue, a pin hole camera is in focus for all distances.
In a larger lens light entering the one side of the lens must match light from the other. The precision of the alignment is determined by the lens quality, focus. Things like chromatic aberration and many other factors come in to play and become more of an issue the larger the lens.
What does happen with the smaller lens is less light. What that means is the image sensor is getting less signal. This means less color resolution, gray scale resolution and sensor noise becomes more of a factor. The classic signal to noise ratio.
To deal with noise longer sample times are needed, meaning longer exposure times and slower frame rates on things like cheap USB web cams.
In astronomy techniques like cooling the cameras sensors to reduce noise, extremely long exposure times and digital post processing of many successive images to produce a higher contrast low noise image is done. All of which can be applied to even a web cam.
Also high resolution sensors need more light to produce a good image.
So a small lens is a trade off, cheaper lens but less light coming in work with.
There are 1080p cameras with 1mm or smaller lenses.
Here is another extreme example of small lenses.

Hell
I wonder if you can help.
I am trying to figure out what is the highest definition i can get from a video camera with a smallest lens.
Can you enlighten me on this at all.
Thank you.
