A positioning model of a two CCD camera coordinate system with an alternate-four-matrix look-up table algorithm

Abstract

This study proposes a novel positioning model of a two CCD camera coordinate system with an alternate-four-matrix (AFM) look-up table (LUT) algorithm. Two CCD cameras are set on both sides of a large scale screen and used to aid the position measures of targets. The coordinate position of the object in a specified space can be obtained by using different viewing angles of the two cameras and the AFMLUT method. The right camera is in charge of detecting the intermediate block near the right side and the dead zone of the left camera, using the first and the second matrix LUTs. The left camera is in charge of detecting the other parts, using the third and the fourth matrix LUTs. The results indicate that this rapid mapping and four matrix memory allocation method has good accuracy (positioning error <2%) and stability when operating a human–machine interface system.
