  Segmented Eyeglass Lenses Such as Bifocals and Trifocals for Presbyopia - AllAboutVision.com
Trifocals are lenses with three points of focus: usually for distance, intermediate and near.
Trifocals have an added segment above the bifocal for viewing things in the intermediate zone, which is farther than the near zone: about arm's length away.
Trifocals are fitted a bit higher, with the top line of the intermediate area placed even with the pupil.

 The Trifocal Tensor
The trifocal tensor approach is such an extension and maintains a similar projective geometry spirit.
For instance, if a point P is in the trifocal plane, the fundamental matrices cannot determine if its 3 images belong to a single 3D point.
However, the trifocal tensor's 27 scalar parameters are not all independent unknowns.

 Focal Points Bifocals, Trifocals and Progressive-Addition Lenses
Trifocals were first introduced in the 1930s, as a modification of the processes for bifocals.
Trifocal lenses were the initial attempt to solve this problem, by providing three different powers for distance, intermediate, and near vision.
Although several other types of trifocals are available, most are flat-top or Executive-style segments (see Figure 1e), in which the distance portion remains the same and the segment is divided for the intermediate add.

  Trifocal Information
Trifocals are eyeglasses where the lenses have 3 regions to correct for distance, intermediate (arm's length), and near vision.
Trifocal lenses are made in similar styles to bifocals, but with an additional segment for intermediate vision above the reading section.
Trifocals are becoming rarer as more people choose to wear progressive lenses.

 Magnifics Inc - Cellular phone accessories magnifying cell phone displays for easier viewing and for the visually ...
trifocal means that there are three different lens powers incorporated into an eyeglass lens, each providing a different zone of focus.
In a trifocal, a third lens power is inserted directly above the bifocal segment, which is designed to be in focus for the intermediate distance of 18 to 26 inches.
You should consider trifocals if you continually have difficulty seeing or performing visual tasks in the range of 18 to 26 inches.

After determining the trifocal tensor, the basis vectors and rotation matrices of the relative orientation of the three images can be extracted easily if the interior orientation of the images is known.
The determination of a valid trifocal tensor in the Gauß-Helmert model can be done basically in two ways: By parameterizing the tensor using its 27 elements and introducing the 8 internal constraints together with the scale fixing, or by using an alternative parameterization for the trifocal tensor that has 18 degrees of freedom.
For computing a valid trifocal tensor by minimizing reprojection error in the Gauß-Helmert model it is important to have a consistent representation for the trifocal tensor.

The distance optical center of a standard bifocal, or trifocal lens is the thinnest part of a minus lens and the thickest part of a plus lens.
Segment centers cannot be spotted on a lensometer for bifocals, or trifocals unless the distance power of the lens is Plano, or 0.00.
The first number in a trifocal gives the height measured from the top of the bifocal part of the segment to the top of the trifocal portion.

The intermediate band is 14 mm high compared to the 7 to 8 mm high intermediate on the conventional trifocal.
Conventional trifocals are also available with these wider widths, but the typical trifocal uses a 28 mm wide seg.
When the CRT trifocal is designed correctly, the top most seg line cuts through the middle of the pupil.

Much like the F-matrix, the trifocal tensor describes the projective relation, but this time between three views.
It imposes trifocal constraints on the images (something that 3 F-matrices cannot do), and this allows for better recovery of projection matrices as well as eliminating many degenerate cases.
Fundamental matrices can be extracted for any of the three views, and inversely, tri-tensor can be estimated from three f-matrices that satisfy the trifocal constraint.

The trifocal tensor has been used in many video applications such as image-based rendering, 3D modeling and augmented reality.
The trifocal tensor of the evolving view triplets is computed at the realtime.
The goal is to automatically insert into live video a computer generated model of an object that is not physically present in the scene.

 A New Characterization of the Trifocal Tensor - Papadopoulo, Faugeras (ResearchIndex)
This paper deals with the problem of characterizing and parametrizing the manifold of trifocal tensors that describe the geometry of three views like the fundamental matrix characterizes the geometry of two.
First a new, simpler, set of algebraic constraints that characterizes the set of trifocal tensors is presented.
Second, we give a new parametrization of the trifocal tensor based upon those constraints which is also simpler than previously known...

Trifocal glasses are the same as bifocals, except that there is an additional power in the middle part of the lens to correct for the computer distance (about 45 to 60 cm).
These lenses include distance, trifocal, and bifocal powers all blended together with a gradual change from one to the next.
Trifocal lenses that have visible lines are lenses that contain three powers, distance, computer, and reading.

 Geometry/Structure Estimation Procedure
The trifocal tensor can be estimated from six or more corresponding points in three views.
The matching points identified in a sequence are used to get a preliminary estimate of the trifocal tensor, from triples of corresponding vertices in the first, the last and an intermediate image.
This preliminary estimate is used to refine the correspondences by epipolar line search in the second image and point transfer to the third one via the trifocal tensor.

 Three view geometry
This point then projects to a unique point in the third image, as can be seen in Figure 3.7, even when this point is located in the trifocal plane.
Therefore, one can conclude that in the three view case not all the information is described by the epipolar geometry.
This transfer is also described by the trifocal tensor.

 Trifocal Tensor Estimation
For the case of three given images, all projectively relevant camera parameters are encapsulated in a single mathematical object, the trifocal tensor.
However, reliable estimation of the trifocal tensor is crucial for 3D reconstruction from uncalibrated cameras.
The scope of the present master thesis comprises an implementation of the nonlinear method proposed in [3] for trifocal tensor estimation and its comparison with the Gold Standard [2].

 Lenses
Trifocal lenses, like bifocal lenses, will have visible lines across the lens, either in a D-shaped segment or across the entire lens.
The top of the lens is for distance, the middle segment is for arm's length tasks, and the bottom segment is for close-up work.
Instead of having "steps" in the prescription like a bifocal or a trifocal, the change in prescription acts like a "ramp" for a smooth transition from distance, to intermediate, to near viewing.

 Robust Parametrization and Computation of the Trifocal Tensor
This paper presents an algorithm for computing a Maximum Likelihood Estimate (MLE) of the trifocal tensor.
The input to the algorithm is three images of the same scene, and the output is the estimated tensor and corner and line feature matches across the three images that are consistent with this estimate.
Particular novelties of the algorithm are the computation of a trifocal tensor which enforces the constraints between the tensor elements.
