A trifocal transfer-based virtual microscope for robotic manipulation of mems components

Abstract

This article investigates the problem of imaging at the microscale. The trifocal transfer-based novel view synthesis approach is developed and applied to the images from two photon microscopes mounted in a stereoscopic configuration and vertically observing the work scene. The final result is a lateral virtual microscope working up to six frames per second with a resolution up to that of the real microscopes. Visual feedback, accurate measurements, and control have been used to show robotic manipulation of MEMS parts. © Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
