Microscopic Stereo Camera with Simultaneous Vergence and Focus Control
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper introduces a stereoscopic stereo camera which equipped with two microscopic video sensors, a micro motor, and a linear stage. Mechanism of simultaneously controlling both vergence and focus of the camera is presented. Parallel-axis design of two video sensors enables the stereo camera to converge and focus on an interesting object simultaneously. Calibration of the camera is done to reconstruct 3D models of real objects using the camera. Experimental results show that the vergence and focus of the camera change with respect to the motion of an object.

Biologically Motivated Vergence Control System Based on Stereo Saliency Map Model
When the human eye searches a natural scene, the left and right eyes converge on an interesting area by action of the brain and the eyeballs. This mechanism is based on two attention processes. In a top-down (or volitional) processing, the human visual system determines salient locations through perceptive processing such as understanding and recognition. On the other hand, with bottom-up (or i...
متن کاملActive surface reconstruction by integrating focus, vergence, stereo, and camera calibration
This paper describes a method for estimating surfaces from stereo images. A single pair of stereo images can yield surface reconstruction for only a small volume of space. Since the scene may be large, images are obtained dynamically using different camera configurations through the control of focus and camera vergence. For smooth objects, this results in the reconstruction of surface patches t...
متن کاملTracking a Moving Object with a Stereo Camera Head
We present a stereo active vision system which performs tracking tasks on smoothly moving objects in complex backgrounds. Dynamic control of the camera vergence adapt the horopter geometry to the target position and allows to pick it up easily on the basis of stereoscopic disparity features. We introduce a novel vergence control strategy based on the computation of \virtual horopters" to track ...
متن کاملVergence Control and Disparity Estimation with Energy Neurons: Theory and Implementation
The responses of disparity-tuned neurons computed according to the energy model are used for reliable vergence control of a stereo camera head and for disparity estimation. Adjustment of symmetric vergence is driven by minimization of global image disparity resulting in greatly reduced residual disparities. To estimate disparities, cell activities of four frequency channels are pooled and norma...
متن کاملActive Stereo: Integrating Disparity, Vergence, Focus, Aperture and Calibration for Surface Estimation
Much research has emphasized stereo disparity as a source of depth information. To a lesser extent, camera vergence and lens focus have also been investigated for their utility in depth recovery. Each of these visual cues exhibits shortcomings when used individually in the sense that none alone can be used to reconstruct surfaces for real scenes that often cover a wide field of view and a large...
