Abstract :
An agile stereo camera system designed for flexible image acquisition under a wide variety of viewing conditions and scenes is presented. A host processor sends commands to three microprocessors controlling, through 11 servomotors, the position and optical parameters of the camera, and the scene illumination. The weaknesses of the system are acknowledged and future improvements are outlined
