left image plus the disparity (range) image. In the left window there will

be the left image from the camera; in the right image, the disparity image

produced by stereo processing. If the message “Image timed out” appears,

then there is a problem with the IEEE 1394 drivers; please see Section

4. If

the images are too light or too dark, you can change the exposure and gain

settings (Section

7.4). Images can be saved using the File menu.

The STOC device is a self-contained ranging device. It produces range

information directly on the device, without any computation on the PC.

The smallv program displays this information, as well as the original,

rectified left image.

You can view a 3D version of the disparity image by converting it into a 3D

point cloud. Choose the “3D Display” button, and an OpenGL window will

appear, with the range information converted into a point cloud. You can

navigate the viewpoint of the window by moving the mouse while holding

down the left button.

The STOC has flexible output modes. The default mode is to output the

left rectified image and the disparity range information. There are four

modes:

1. Left rectified image + disparity (default)

2. Original raw images

3. Rectified images

4. Test image

The SVS interface API and sample programs are described in the SVS

User’s Manual. It is helpful to review Section

7 in conjunction with the

SVS documentation. The SVS Calibration Addendum should be consulted

if the calibration is redone – see Section
