3D Computer Vision
A conventional video or picture captures the three dimensional world in two dimensions losing crucial information regarding depth which many applications now demand Depth estimation is a challenging problem and
Have you ever wondered how robots navigate autonomously grasp different objects or avoid collisions while moving Using stereo vision based depth estimation is a common method used for such applications
In this post we will learn how to create a custom low cost stereo camera using a pair of webcams and capture 3D videos with it using OpenCV We provide
We will learn the concepts of Epipolar geometry and point correspondences We will then use these concepts discuss how to calculate depth from stereo disparity
