In this paper, the geometry between horizontal and vertical movement of lens is studied for automatic vergence control of horizontal moving axis stereo camera. When the disparity of stereo remains contant, the horizontal movement of camera lens for image disparity and the vertical movement for image focus have linear geometry. Using this linearity, we can control the vergence of stereo camera only by focusing of stereo camera lens.

The position of stereoscopic objects is an important parameter to induce three-dimensional effects such as convergence control and image distortions. There are three kinds of stereoscopic cameras : Parallel, Toed-in, and Horizontal-Moving cameras. In this paper we proposed the method for estimating stereoscopic object position with a horizontal-moving camera. In the previous methods, viewing angle ratios are used to estimate the object positions. Our method based on the horizontal movements of the camera to estimate the positions. Using geometrical models of shooting and display we experimented with two methods. Results of experiments showed the distance of stereoscopic objects on virtual screen related to horizontal movement.

Control convergence of Horizontal-Moving stereoscopic camera is demonstrated with object distance. To acquire object distance calculated vergence angle is needed. Compare calculated vergence angle with look up table, processing time of auto control is reduce.

The purpose of this study is to suggest Vergence Information Extracting Algorithm(VIEA) which enables quick and accurate vergence information achievement for automation of vergence and focus control of horizontal moving stereoscopic camera. Firstly, for this purpose, the geometric structure of horizontal moving stereoscopic camera device was analyzed and linear relation between the vergence and the focus control. Then stereoscopic camera was designed and produced with the application of vergence and focus relation formula. Finally, VIEA that uses Cepstrum filter was employed to implement Automatic Vergence and Focus Controlling Stereoscopic Camera System(AVFCSCS). VIEA showed lower vergence achievement time and error ratio in comparison with existing algorithms. The suggested system in this study substantially reduced the controlling time and error-ratio as to make it possible to achieve natural and clear images. It also simplified the handling of stereoscopic camera for the convenience of end-users.

In this study, a new algorithm for measuring the velocity and distance from a camera to a moving object by using pseudo-stereo images obtained from a single camera with a stereo adapter is proposed. The proposed system is similar to a parallel visual stereo system using a two-camera system, but because this system can obtain pseudo-stereo images form a single camera, it has advantages not only in the aspect of cost but also in stereo conformity by arrangement and the calibration of the left and right stereo cameras upon image processing.

Horizontally-moving method (HMM) stereoscopic camera has a liner relationship between ver-gence and focus control. We introduced the automatic control method for a stereoscopic camera system that uses the relationship between vergence and focus of an HMM stereoscopic camera. the Automatic control method uses disparity compensation of the acquired image pair from the stereoscopic camera. For faster extraction of disparity information, the proposed binocular dispar-ity estimation method by the one-dimensional cepstral filter algorithm would be investigated. The suggested system in this study substantially reduced the controlling time and error-ratio so as to make it possible to achieve natural and clear images.

We developed a recognition and tracking system of moving objects. The system consists of one CCD video camera, two DC motors in horizontal and vertical axles with encoders, pluse width modulation(PWM) driving unit, 16 bit NEC 9801 microcomputer, and their interfaces. The recognition and tracking system is able to recognize shape and size of a moving object and is able to track the object within a certain range of errors. This paper presents the brief introduction of the recognition and tracking system developed in our laboratory.

A method of estimating the distance using single zoom camera limits a distance range(only optical axis) in field of view. So, in this paper, we propose a method of estimating the distance information in Stereoscopic display using the stereo zoom lens module for estimating the distance in the wide range. The binocular stereo zoom lens system is composed using a horizontal moving camera module. The left and right images are acquired in polarized stereo monitor for getting the conversion and estimating a distance. The error distance is under 10mm which has difference between optically a traced distance and an estimated distance in left and right range $(0mm{\sim}500mm)$ at center. This presents the system using a function of the zoom and conversion has more precise distance information than that of conversion control. Also, a method of estimating a distance from horizontal moving camera is more precise value than that from toe-in camera by comparing the error distance of the two camera methods.

This paper discussed a method for estimating the distance using the stereo zoom lens module. A method for estimating the distance using single zoom lens is limited in convergence angle. So, we composed horizontal moving camera and estimated the distance. In the experiment, we get the wider convergence angle and more precise distance than single camera's.
