Focus actuated vergence

摘要

A system for the vergence of images from a plurality of cameras, the system provides a first camera; a second camera disposed at some distance from that first camera; a focus adjustment whereby the focus of the first camera can be adjusted by a user; the focus adjustment being configured with a range finder whereby the distance from the first camera to a target is ascertained; a look up chart wherein divergence distance of images generated from the first camera from images of the second camera are provided for pre-calculated ranges; and a processor whereby the images generated by the first camera are superimposed on the images generated by the second camera by the divergence distance determined from the lookup.

1. A system for the vergence of images from a plurality of cameras, the system comprising:
a first camera; a second camera disposed at some distance from said first camera; a parallax adjustment whereby the position of a lens of said first camera can be adjusted by a user; a single lens position sensor at least a portion of which is in a fixed position relative to said lens along an optical axis of said lens whereby the position of said lens relative to the focal plane is directly measured; a comparator whereby said position of said lens relative to the focal plane is compared to known relationships between lens position and image shift and providing vergence data corresponding to said lens position and; a processor whereby said images generated by said first camera are superimposed on said images generated by said second camera and aligned by said vergence data.
