How Stereo Measurement
Works
![Page 4: Getting More Precision in Videoscope Measurements While Taking Larger Measurements from Farther Away](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022030316/587367811a28abe7648b7183/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
• Parallax is the apparent change in position of an object from two vantage points.
• Human vision and environmental interaction is based on this parallax.
How Stereo Measurement Works
![Page 5: Getting More Precision in Videoscope Measurements While Taking Larger Measurements from Farther Away](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022030316/587367811a28abe7648b7183/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
• Lateral shift is inversely proportional to the distance from the viewer.
• While driving down a road, nearby fencing and trees move by quicker than the
mountains in the background.
• Our ability to determine distance and depth rely on having two eyes. Stereo
measurement uses two separate lenses for the same ability.
• Using the premise that lateral shift is inversely proportional to distance, we can use
this concept for stereo measurement.

• The lenses are offset from each
other a known distance.
• The brain is replaced by a CCD chip and processor.
• The eyes are replaced by dual lensing in a tip adaptor.
• The dual lensing creates
two images onto the CCD.
Applications in Industrial Endoscopy

• A relevant point exists out in the real world.
• This point transmits itself
to two positions on the
CCD chip.
Applications in Industrial Endoscopy
![Page 9: Getting More Precision in Videoscope Measurements While Taking Larger Measurements from Farther Away](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022030316/587367811a28abe7648b7183/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
• A relevant point exists out in the real world.
• This point transmits itself
to two positions on the
CCD chip.
• The user picks one point and
the scope picks the same point
on the other image.
• These points correlate to
physical pixels on the CCD chip.
• Knowing this pixel location and the physical
locations of the lenses, the videoscope calculates
the distance to the point.

There are many standards that dictate the allowable size of defects in certain
industries. With stereo measurement, the size of defects, such as the one shown
below, can be determined.
• Cracks
• Dents
• Pitting
• Corrosion
• Material lift
• Missing material
• Many more

The location of the lenses must be known to
precisely and accurately utilize the parallax.
The line of sight used for the parallax originates at the matched points on the CCD. They go
through the center of the lenses.

• Even with the most advanced lens manufacturing and assembly techniques,
variances occur.
• These variances are miniscule, but have
potentially large effects on the
measurement result.
• Both the location and rotational value
must be known. x

• The alignment and assembly of the CCD chip is also never perfect.
• The more precise stereo becomes, the more pronounced these differences will
be.
• One-to-one matching is performed to align individual tips to the chip.

• Larger defects can be measured.
• Defects previously could not be measured now can.
• Base to crack
• Measuring from twice as far makes it easier for the user.
• Two steps in taking measurement images:
• Find the defect.
• Get close enough and aligned for a proper image.

• Stereo measurement by way of parallax fundamentally relies on the selection of
two pixels.
• One pixel will be chosen by the user and the other by the videoscope.
• This correlates to two physical locations on the CCD.

![Page 27: Getting More Precision in Videoscope Measurements While Taking Larger Measurements from Farther Away](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022030316/587367811a28abe7648b7183/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
• The locations on the CCD relate to the difference in the angles of incidence at the
lensing.
• The videoscope uses many values, including:
• Position of lenses relative to each other.
• Position of lenses relative to the CCD.
• Rotational position of the lenses and the CCD relative to each other.
• Angle of line at the lens given by parallax.
• The angle of the parallax line is the only one that changes.
• Once these angles are known, all other values can be calculated to determine object
size so that it can be measured.

• In this image, the angles stay the same.
• The sides change, respectively.

• This creates a situation to be mitigated.
• Farther away means the error is bigger.
• Just like the angle, the error has not changed with
the triangle.
• There are two ways
to compensate.

• The first way is to calibrate the individual tip to the actual CCD.
• One-to-one matching reduces the error caused by miniscule variances in
assembly and manufacturing.

• The second way is to pick a better pixel.
• The margin of error increases as the resolution goes down.
• Resolution means more than the number of pixels on a chip.

• Pixel sizes have gotten so small that new variables have to be considered:
• Lens quality.
• Aperture size.
• Circle of confusion (CoC).
• Airy disk.

• Higher resolution imaging has pushed the physical bounds of what is possible.
• This has forced a dramatic redesign in optical systems.
• We now have smaller pixels, but we can also use them.
• This all equates to stereo measurements with smaller margins of error that are
also easier to take.
