| Abstract: | This paper presents a 3D endoscopic video system designed to improve visualization and enhance the ability of the surgeon to perform delicate endoscopic surgery. In a comparison of the polarized and electric shutter-type stereo imaging systems, the former was found to be superior in terms of both accuracy and speed for knot-tying and for the loop pass test. The results of our experiments show that the proposed 3D endoscopic system has a sufficiently wide viewing angle and zone for multi-viewing, and that it provides better image quality and more stable optical performance compared with the electric shutter-type. |
