Image for Stereo Vision

Stereo Vision

Stereo vision is a process by which a system perceives depth and three-dimensional structure using two images taken from slightly different positions, similar to human eyes. By comparing these two images, the system calculates how far objects are based on the differences, or disparities, between them. This method allows, for example, robots or computers to understand their surroundings more accurately, enabling tasks like navigation, object recognition, and environmental mapping. Essentially, stereo vision mimics human binocular vision to interpret the spatial layout of a scene.
