Abstract:
1. An image data transmission device, comprising: a computer for generating a 2D image signal transmit command or a 3D image signal transmit command by manipulation of keys, receiving 2D or 3D image signals and displaying them; a digital camera for taking 2D image signals of an object and converting them to digital image signals; a first-in first-out (FIFO) for storing the 2D digital image signals received from the digital camera in a first-in first-out manner; a digital signal processor for controlling extraction of contours necessary for 3D image signals from the 2D digital image signals output from the FIFO and storage and reading-out of the extracted contours, converting the 2D digital image signals to 3D image signals using the stored contour extraction data, and outputting the 3D image signals as serial data; a memory for storing the position and signal magnitude data of the contours extracted from the digital signal processor; a control and communication logic circuit for receiving the 2D image signal transmit command or the 3D image signal transmit command and a ready command from the computer to output a start command or a stop command to the digital camera, and generating the converted 3D image signals from the digital signal processor; and an input/output buffer for buffering input/output data between the computer and the control and communication logic circuit.
