HI: I have ordered 2 Stonymen and am now analyzing what I need to make a 3D pair. I have taken downsampling of some pictures and the full resolution is a must. Below that, there is too much of a jump…Continue

HI: Late March and I finally got the 'eyes' and ordered the PCB's. The manufacturer complained about the 6 thou spacing... so delays. BUT: finally built! I have also developed a PC program to test out recognition ideas. It works well enough and I have quickly come to the conclusion that light/dark gradients contain the most information for recognition. I will now do scaling on this to create the scale containing just enough information... the number of pixels to enter into the gradient formula is the key to determining the scale of objects that are noteworthy.

I finally got a good LED strip to place behind the cameras, 300ma at 3.5volts. Makes a lot of difference in the calibration.
I am just playing with simple-solutions to 3D right now. It really is intriguing trying to figure out a non-moving picture way of getting 3D distances. It is really easy with a single item like a pencil on a plain background. But that's cheating. My attempt at subracting the left and right eye, then showing only the pixels with the same +/-3 of 16 brightness…

EYE results, 32 levels reduced to 16 levels for the LCD screen.
SO>>> the LCD screen is 160x128, so some of it is not used. Movie updates are about 8 per second.. only EYE number 1 is shown. The text is my diagnostic readout.
The actual pixels are read using the amplifier on the Stonyman at max gain. The PHI times are 1us high/2.5us low (before A/D). The A/D is 8 bits 450ns at 2volt ref, so 32 to 48 levels can be…

Good Day,
How is everything with you, I picked interest on you after going through your short profile and deemed it necessary to write you immediately. I have something very vital to disclose to you, but I found it difficult to express myself here, since it's a public site.Could you please get back to me on:( mr.frankkwabena000@yahoo.co.th ) for the full details.
Have a nice day
Thanks God bless.
Mr.Frank
