A Monocular Variable Magnifications 3D Laparoscope System Using Double Liquid Lenses [PDF]
IEEE Journal of Translational Engineering in Health and MedicineDuring minimal invasive surgery (MIS), the laparoscope only provides a single viewpoint to the surgeon, leaving a lack of 3D perception. Many works have been proposed to obtain depth and 3D reconstruction by designing a new optical structure or by ...
