METHOD AND DEVICE FOR MONITORING PHASE SHIFTING BETWEEN STEREOSCOPIC CAMERAS
First Claim
1. A method for monitoring phase shifting between stereoscopic cameras (2, 3), which comprises:
- measuring the phase difference (Dt) between at least a part (10) of a video signal originating from a first stereoscopic camera (2) and a time reference as a corresponding part (11) of the video signal originating from at least one other stereoscopic camera (3);
characterizing the synchronization error (H, D) between the cameras monitored on the basis of said at least one phase difference; and
using the characterization of the synchronization error to monitor said cameras, and/or the video signals originating from said cameras.

Abstract
A method and device for monitoring phase shifting between stereoscopic cameras. The device for monitoring phase shifting between the images from the stereoscopic cameras includes: a circuit (100) for characterizing the phase shift, which implements the method and is connected to the output terminals of the stereoscopic cameras (G, D); and a monitor (106) for displaying video images, including resources (63) for displaying the images (61, 62) one on top of the other, the image being generated by the cameras and resources (90, 94) for displaying the values (H, V) characterizing the phase shift in relation with the images.
