Integriertes, intelligentes Video-Endoskopie-System in Mikrosystemtechnik -ENDOSKOP Schlussbericht

Abstract

1. Goal of the project: The miniaturisation of a 3-CCD video system for use in medical endoscopy is demanded because the superior resolution and the more natural colour reproduction in comparison to the 1-CCD technology is of significant importance in endoscopic diagnosis. In addition the features autofocus and motorised zoom will considerably comfort the handling of the camera. 2. Method: Use of micromechanical components for drive substitution. Miniaturised zoom lens system by the aid of purposeful calculation. Use of high-grade materials. 3. Result: Production of an endoscopic camerahead as a prototype with integrated autofocus function and motorised zoom. 4. Possible Intention of use: The main field of application will be the medical endoscopic surgery and diagnosis, especially at operation scene without a camera assistant. Other possible use is in the combination with an automatic tracing system which keeps the endoscope always in the region of interest, in technical endoscopy and in quality control systems.
