This paper describes a monocular stereo system that can switch its viewpoint hundreds of times of more in a second using a four-pinhole viewpoint switching iris mechanism. Our system can measure the three-dimensional information of a moving object correctly using two different viewpoint images, which are selected from the four switched viewpoint images in a short interval using a four-pinhole viewpoint switching iris mechanism, corresponding to the moving direction of the object. Using a prototype of monocular stereo system that consists of the four-pinhole viewpoint switching iris mechanism and an offline high-speed video camera, we verified its effectiveness in monocular stereo measurement by performing several experiments of moving objects.
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.
