Abstract
In many fields, including medical and manufacturing, endoscopy is a powerful tool for remote visual inspection. However, images obtained by an endoscope are mostly planar and provide no accurate size or distance information about the object of interest. Use of stereo images to solve these problems greatly increases the performance of such inspection tools due to its three dimensional measurability. In this study, a method to obtain stereo images using a single "flipping" glass disc device for endoscopic applications, and its realization into a miniaturized device are presented.
