Ranging apparatus and method implementing stereo vision system

摘要: A laser-directed ranging system for use in telerobotics applications and other involving physically handicapped individuals. The includes a left right video camera mounted on platform, remotely positioned operator. position of the platform is controlled by three servo motors to orient roll axis, pitch axis yaw cameras, based upon an operator input such as head motion. laser provided between directed user point target device. images produced cameras are processed eliminate all background except spot created laser. This processing performed creating digital image prior illumination laser, then eliminating common pixels from subsequent which spot. horizontal disparity two calculated stereometric analysis range determined.
