Distance Measurement of Object using Stereo Vision System(SVS)

Jung Min Choi, Taesam Kang

Abstract


Recently, object recognition researches are progressing hard using various sensors. Stereo Vision System (SVS) is a method of object’s distance measurement using binocular disparity of right and left cameras. According to the way of camera setup, two vision methods, called parallel and crossing, are derived in SVS. Parallel method is usually applied for distance information, while crossing method for cubic effect. Most of the early researches were using parallel SVS to measure the vertical distance between an object and cameras. This paper presents the parallel SVS method to measure the horizontal distance between the object and the center of two cameras, provided that the object is in the overlap area of two camera vision scopes.
