This study suggests a method to measure the distance to an object using a stereo vision system(SVS) by emulating human vision system. Distance measurement methods of previous studies have the downside that the distance can be measured only if an object is located between the optical axes in the overlapping area of stereo cameras. Thus, this study suggests a method to measure the distance when an object is located outside the optical axes in the overlapping area of the two cameras. Simulations were conducted to test the distance measurement method suggested in this study. The simulations proved the accuracy of the suggested distance measurement method.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
