Imagery axle turning method for stereo vision and apparatus thereof

摘要

An imagery axle turning method for stereo vision and an apparatus thereof. The method turns an imagery axle of a stereo vision apparatus to capture images, and constructs a 3D image from the captured 2D images. The imagery axle turning method is realized by rotating the imagery axles of the first lens unit and second lens unit to an angle θ, so as to have different aspect ratios for the first image and second image. Thereby, the 3D image formed from the stereo vision reconstruction steps can achieve a user's expectation of capturing images with an appropriate aspect ratio. This invention also provides specific stereo vision apparatus corresponding to various applications by the imagery axle turning method.

主权项

1. An imagery axle turning method for stereo vision, applied to a stereo vision apparatus, comprising a first lens unit, a second lens unit and a stereo vision reconstruction processor; the first lens unit comprising a first image pickup unit and a first image sensor; the second lens unit comprising a second image pickup unit and a second image sensor; the method comprising steps of:
rotating the first image sensor and the second image sensor to an imagery axle angle θ while the first image pickup unit and the second image pickup unit being stationary; taking a first image of a photographed object by the first lens unit, and taking a second image of the photographed object by the second lens unit; and transmitting the first image, the second image and data of the imagery axle angle θ to the stereo vision reconstruction processor for constructing a 3D image; wherein the imagery axle angle θ is an angle between a horizontal axle and an imagery axle of the first image sensor, and the imagery axle angle θ is greater than zero.
