A stereo vision system, as it receives two images equivalent to the one shown on left and right human eyes, can provide 3-D effect. However, the stereo disparity caused by the different parallax of the two images makes an observer feel fatigued and reduces the 3-D effect. Therefore, this paper presents a new approach to keep the stereo disparity to be zero via a JTC- based adaptive tracking of a moving object. In this method, the optical JTC system tracks the relative locations of a moving objects via measuring the correlation peak of the two images. Through some optical experiments the proposed stereo vision system is proved to be insensitive to background noises and control the convergence angle in real-time.
