In this paper, we proposed the spinning right-angle stereo vision system to center the shifted object on 3-dimensional image using a human eyesight-like, and the system is reconstructed with conventional stereo vision system. In this proposed system, the centering results of objects on the 3-dimensional image are very good, and we got the parameter ratios 89~112% for the real measurement values. Therefore, the suggested the spinning right-angle stereo vision system have a high possibilities to be applied to many industrial system parts and to be used for robot system, automatic system, and etc.

In this paper, we proposed the right-angle stereo vision system to measure the object size using a human eyesight-like, and the system is reconstructed with conventional stereo vision system. In this proposed system, the size results of objects are measured very close to the real object size, and we got the ratios 93~103[%] for the real object sizes. Therefore, the suggested right-angle stereo vision system have a high possibilities to be applied to many industrial system parts and to be used for robot system, automatic system, and etc.

A stereo vision system such as the structure of human's eyes has two cameras at separated positions from which we can obtain two input images and then put them together to create 3-D image. It can show more virtual effect than the conventional 2-D image system. But, the stereo image system has to control the convergence angle so that the stereo disparity could always be zero because observers can be fatigued and unconscious of stereo image in conditions that the stereo disparity is not zero for a long work. Therefore, in the paper, optical JTC system which can process adaptive tracking of a specific moving object is proposed as a new approach to keep the stereo disparity to be zero. In this method, optical JTC system obtains the values of the relative locations of a moving objects in left and right images and then these values are used for maintaining the stereo disparity to be zero. Through some optical experiments the proposed stereo vision system is proved to be insensitive to background noises and operate in real-time.

In this paper, we analyzed the mr detection and the stability of the object tracking system by an adaptive stereo object hacking using region-based MAD(Mean Absolute Difference) algorithm and the modified PID(Proportional Integral Derivative)-based pan/tilt controller. That is, in the proposed system, the location coordinates of the target object in the right and left images are extracted from the sequential stereo input image by applying a region-based MAD algorithm and the configuration parameter of the stereo camera, and then these values could effectively control to pan/tilt of the stereo camera under the noisy circumstances through the modified PID controller. Accordingly, an adaptive control effect of a moving object can be analyzed through the advanced system with the proposed 3D robot vision, in which the possibility of real-time implementation of the robot vision system is also confirmed.

In the typical stereo vision system, when the focus points of the left and right images are mismatched or the moving object is not in the center of the image, not only the observer can be fatigued & unconscious of three-dimensional effect, but also hard to track the moving object. Therefore, the stereo object tracking system can be used to track the moving object by controlling convergence angle to minimize stereo disparity and controlling pan/tilt to locate moving object in the center of the image. In this paper, as a new approach to stereo object tracking system we introduce a stereo object tracking simulator based on the optical JTC system capable of adaptive tracking. By using this simulator, any kinds of experimental results can be predicted & analyzed and the processing if real-time implementation of stereo object tracking system is suggested through some optical experiments even if background noises exist.

Bin picking is a task of picking a small object from a bin. For accurate bin picking, the 3D pose information, position, and orientation of a small object is required because the object is mixed with other objects of the same type in the bin. Using this 3D pose information, a robotic gripper can pick an object using exact distance and orientation measurements. In this paper, we propose a 3D vision technique for accurate measurement of 3D position and orientation of small objects, on which a paper label is stuck to the surface. We use a maximally stable extremal regions (MSERs) algorithm to detect the label areas in a left bin image acquired from a stereo camera. In each label area, image features are detected and their correlation with a right image is determined by a stereo vision technique. Then, the 3D position and orientation of the objects are measured accurately using a transformation from the camera coordinate system to the new label coordinate system. For stable measurement during a bin picking task, the pose information is filtered by averaging at fixed time intervals. Our experimental results indicate that the proposed technique yields pose accuracy between 0.4~0.5mm in positional measurements and $0.2-0.6^{\circ}$ in angle measurements.
