Measuring the 3D position at any time of a given object in real-time automatically and well documented to understand a physical phenomenon is essential. Exploring a stereo camera in developing 3D images is very intriguing since a 3D image perception generated by a stereo image may be reprojected back to generate a 3D object position at a specific time. This research aimed to develop a device and measure the 3D object position in real-time using a stereo camera. The device was constructed from a stereo camera, tripod, and a mini-PC. Calibration was carried out for position measurement in X, Y, and Z directions based on the disparity in the two images. Then, a simple 3D position measurement was carried out based on the calibration results. Also, whether the measurement was in real-time was justified. By applying template matching and triangulation algorithms on those two images, the object position in the 3D coordinate was calculated and recorded automatically. The disparity resolution characteristic of the stereo camera was obtained varied from 132 pixels to 58 pixels for an object distance to the camera from 30 cm to 70 cm. This setup could measure the 3D object position in real-time with an average delay time of less than 50 ms, using a notebook and a mini-PC. The 3D position measurement can be performed in real-time along with automatic documentation. Upon the stereo camera specifications used in this experiment, the maximum accuracy of the measurement in X, Y, and Z directions are ΔX = 0.6 cm, ΔY = 0.2 cm, and ΔZ = 0.8 cm at the measurement range of 30 cm–60 cm. This research is expected to provide new insights in the development of laboratory tools for learning physics, especially mechanics in schools and colleges.
