Abstract

A method is provided for a stereo video capture system. The stereo video system includes a stereo video monitor, a control platform, and a three-dimensional (3D) capture imaging device. The method includes capturing at least a first image and a second image, with a parallax between the first image and the second image based on a first parallax configuration. The method also includes receiving the first and second images; and calculating a value of at least one parallax setting parameter associated with the first and second images and corresponding to the first parallax configuration. Further, the method includes determining whether the value is within a pre-configured range. When the value is out of the pre-configured range, the method includes converting the first parallax configuration into a second parallax configuration. The method also includes sending, the second parallax configuration to the 3D imaging capture device, and adopting the second parallax configuration in operation.
