Binocular stereo vision system design for lunar rover

Abstract

In this paper, we integrate a pair of CCD cameras and a digital pan/title of two degrees of freedom into a binocular stereo vision system, which simulates the panoramic cameras system of the lunar rover. The constraints for placement and parameters choice of the stereo cameras pair are proposed based on science objective of Chang'e-IImission. And then these constraints are applied to our binocular stereo vision system and analyzed the location precise of it. Simulation and experimental result confirm the constraints proposed and the analysis of the location precise.
