The geometry between the horizontal and the vertical shifts of the lens to the CCD plane is introduced for the automatic vergence control of the parallel stereo camera. Under the condition that the disparity of stereo image remains constant, the horizontal shift of camera lens causing stereo disparity and the vertical shift causing focus have linear geometry. With this geometry, a simple auto-focusing algorithm is applied to the stereo camera lens for the vergence control of the parallel stereo camera.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
