Dynamic vergence using disparity flux

Vergence movement enables human and vertebrates, having stereo vision, to perceive the depth of an interesting visual target fixated by both left and right eyes. To simulate this on a binocular robotic camera head, we propose a new control model for vergence movement using disparity flux. Experimental results showed that this model is efficient in controlling vergence movement in various environments. When the perception-action cycle is short enough to approach to the real-time frame rate, the precision of disparity flux increases, and then a more accurate control of vergence movements on the stereo robotic head is possible.
