Abstract
The stereovision sensor described in this article has been developed during a research project called RaViOLi, for “Radar and Vision Orientable, Lidar”. The main outcome of this project is the improvement of driving safety thanks to the analysis of redundant data coming from several cooperative sensors installed on an autonomous vehicle. One is a high precision stereovision sensor whose field of view can be oriented toward a region of interest of the 3D scene, like the road in front of the vehicle at long distance. The sensor is composed of a single camera, of two lateral mirrors, and of a prism rotating about its edge. The mirrors project the left and right images of the stereo pair onto both halves of the imaging surface of the camera, yielding the equivalent of two virtual cameras with parallel axes. Rotating the prism changes the orientation of both optical axes while keeping them parallel.
