Abstract

This paper represents the design of 3D endoscopic video system in order to improve visualization and enhance the ability of the surgeon to perform delicate endoscopic surgery. In comparison of the polarized and electric shutter-type stereo imaging system, The former is superior in terms of accuracy and performance speed for knot-tying and loop pass test. The result of experiments show that the proposed 3D endoscopy system has a wide viewing angle and zone which is necessary for multi-view and it has better image quality and stability of the optical performances than the electric shutter-type does.
