The invention relates to a method for reducing a fade zone by a twin camera monitoring system on a movement platform. When the movement platform loaded with the twin cameras generates the relative position changes with a target area, the method controls the angle and direction of the twin cameras based on the principle of the heterodromous motion of human eyeballs to cause that the target area is always in the public field of view of the twin cameras, thus obtaining the three dimensional depth information of the target area. In the method, after a sensor measures the movement parameters of the movement platform, A/D conversion, digital filtering, calibration conversion, and controlling operation are carried out on the parameters by a camera control unit, and then when a motor of a camera holder compensates the movement of the platform, the angle and direction needing to be rotated is obtained. A control signal drives the rotation of the motor of the camera holder on the movement platform by a serial port. By
