Abstract

See full text

A stereo image capturing device includes two image capturing modules, an image processing unit, a memory and a processor for respectively storing and executing the image processing unit. Each image capturing module includes a liquid crystal lens, a voltage drive chip, and an image sensor. The image processing unit includes a WDF module, a focus control module, and an image synthesize module. The WDF module determines the sharpness of the colors of images, and acquires object distance of the images according to the sharpness. When the object distance is bigger than a predetermined distance, the WDF module modifies the sharpness of the images, otherwise the focus control module drives the voltage drive chip to change focal distance of the liquid crystal lens according to the object distance. The image synthesize module synthesizes the images to stereo images.
