Stereo Vision

Stereo rectification, disparity, and dense 3-D reconstruction

Stereo vision is the process of recovering depth from camera images by comparing two or more views of the same scene. The output of this computation is a 3-D point cloud, where each 3-D point corresponds to a pixel in one of the images.

Stereo image rectification projects images onto a common image plane in such a way that the corresponding points have the same row coordinates. This process is useful for stereo vision, because the 2-D stereo correspondence problem reduces to a 1-D problem. As an example, stereo image rectification is often used as a preprocessing step for computing disparity or creating anaglyph images.
