Semi-automatic 3D stereoscopic camera rig system for home user

Because of recent increasing demand for 3D video, 3D production is rapidly growing as well. However common way in stereoscopic 3D system for 3D productions is still using manual technique. This manual operation requires the operator´s high level skill and time consuming process. In this paper, our semiautomatic camera rig system equipped with interaxial distance and convergence angle controlled by PLC is proposed for the convenience operation of 3D camera rig. Based on experiment, we can minimize camera rig operator intervention as well as reduce time consuming during video shooting process.
