stereo vision using commercial DSLR

Hi. I'm a Phd student in CE. 

 

I'm going to build stereographic equipment setup using two comercial dslr cameras and labveiw.

The specific application is accurate target position estimation using stereoscopic (stereo vision system).

I know there are SDK package in Nikon and Canon for controling camera with computer. However, they don't provide multi-camera control solution so it is hard to construct it. Would it be possible to control cameras using Labview? Here, "control" means the camera control functions (such as live-viewing, zoom in/out, etc) , which are provided by commercial camera tethering software like 'Nikon Camera Control Pro 2'.

 

I heard that HYTEK (http://www.hytekautomation.ca/ ) made Laview VI's for Nikon cameras but I'm not sure it works for my setup or suitable for stereo vision. I hope use the software that NI provides. 

  

Does anyone know about this topic? All suggestions/comments are welcom

dear chulminy

you can use usb camera or gige vision camera, much chiper than DSLR, and LabVIEW support those camera, you can install Vision Acquisition Software, then the camera can be config in max, and used in LabVIEW.
