Claim One:
1. A system that produces a uniformly magnified three-dimensional image of a three-dimensional scene comprising: a) a first imaging array comprising a plurality of imaging elements arranged linearly or as a matrix, said array having a first separation characteristic and a first focal characteristic; b) a first two-dimensional integral frame representative of the three-dimensional scene and comprised of a plurality of two-dimensional elemental images equal in number to and geometrically similar in arrangement as in the first imaging array, i) said first integral frame having an initial separation characteristic and ii) wherein said first integral frame is created by imaging the three-dimensional scene through the first imaging array; c) a projection element that uniformly enlarges by a magnification factor the first integral frame to form an enlarged two-dimensional second integral frame, i) said second integral frame having an enlarged separation characteristic and ii) wherein the ratio of the enlarged separation characteristic to the initial separation characteristic is equal to the magnification factor; d) a second imaging array comprising a plurality of imaging elements equal in number to and geometrically similar in arrangement as in the first imaging array, i) said array having a second separation characteristic and a second focal characteristic, ii) wherein each imaging element of the second array is arranged in fixed alignment with each elemental image of the second integral frame, iii) wherein the ratio of the second separation characteristic to the first separation characteristic is equal to the magnification factor, and iv) wherein the ratio of the second focal characteristic to the first focal characteristic is also equal to the magnification factor.
