The present invention provides an endoscope three-dimensional visualization system using Shape from Shading, which is to connect an image conversion device a single-lens endoscope and a three-dimensional display. The image conversion device is built in with Shape from Shading method, such that it can calculate the depth information of a planar image obtained by the single-lens endoscope via Shape from Shading for generating a depth map, and generate the required three-dimensional image with the planar image and the depth map, then output to an external three-dimensional display. The present invention may enable the user conveniently watching the three-dimensional image conveniently without replacing the existed single-lens endoscope to a dual-camera endoscope system and without modifying the hardware structure of existed single-lens endoscope, so as to solve the problems of the existing single-lens endoscope which cannot provide three-dimensional images and of the dual-camera endoscope equipment being too expensive.本發明係一種使用色度成形法的內視鏡立體視覺化系統,係於一單鏡頭內視鏡與一立體顯示器之間連接有一影像轉換裝置,該影像轉換裝置內建一色度成形法,使其可將單鏡頭內視鏡取得之平面影像透過該色度成形法計算出深度資訊進而產生深度地圖,並藉由該平面影像與該深度地圖生成所需立體影像,再輸出至外部的立體顯示器,以利使用者方便觀看立體影像,不需將現有單鏡頭內視鏡更換為雙相機內視鏡系統,也不需修改現有單鏡頭內視鏡的硬體結構,解決現有單鏡頭內視鏡無法提供立體影像以及雙相機內視鏡之設備昂貴的問題。10‧‧‧影像轉換裝置11‧‧‧內視鏡輸入埠12‧‧‧2D/3D影像轉換單元13‧‧‧影像輸出埠20‧‧‧單鏡頭內視鏡30‧‧‧立體顯示器
