Abstract:
Methods and apparatus for checking the alignment and/or spacing of cameras of a camera pair, e.g., stereoscopic camera pair, are described. Images of a calibration target are captured by first and second cameras of a camera pair being calibrated The captured first and second images, which may correspond to all or a portion of the calibration target, are combined in accordance with the invention to generate a calibration image which is then displayed to an operator of the calibration apparatus including the calibration target. Given the position of at least some different color grid elements in the calibration target, when proper camera spacing and optical axis alignment of the cameras is achieved, the overlaid image will include an overlay of two different color image grid elements resulting in the generated calibration image including grid elements of a different color than that of the overlaid grid elements

Claim (Index 21):
The method of  claim 19 , further comprising, prior to operating the first and second cameras to capture said first and second images,\n operating one of said first and second cameras to capture an image of the grid pattern to control camera positioning; and operating a camera position controller to control at least one of a vertical positioning motor to control and a horizontal positioning motor to automatically adjust at least one of a vertical position of the camera pair or a horizontal position of the camera pair based on the image captured by the one of said first and second cameras to align an optical axis of at least one of the first and second cameras with an intended optical axis and grid intersection point prior to generation of the calibration image.
