Optical observation arrangement for decoding layers of three-dimensional objects from coded superposition images

Abstract From the Canadian patent

A method for the layer-wide decoding of primary superposition images, in which three-dimensional objects for example parts of the human body, have been recorded in coded form by means of a plurality of radiation sources from different perspectives, in accordance with which method the virtual layer images which are formed are observed through a decoding multiplication element in which the coordinate points of the radiation sources used for forming the image are stored and with the aid of which the illuminated superposition images are multiplied as luminous-image reproductions in such a way that-one layer of the three-dimensional object is visualized, and that further layers are reproduced by …
