Abstract

This paper describes Image-Based (IBVS) and Pose-Based (PBVS) Visual Servo control approaches used in stereo vision system with vergence and gaze control mechanism. Using IBVS or PBVS controller in cameras positioning mechanism ensures that cameras are fixed on a common visual target. Keeping the tracking object fixated causes the images of the target to lie near the principal points of both cameras. For this case disparity of target object is very close to zero, so for 3D reconstruction of target neighborhood, the stereo matching algorithm which accepts only limited range of disparities can be used.
