How accurate is stereo vision?

The accuracy of disparity calculations are very dependent on what the camera is being pointed at, but it is generally 1 - 2mm at up to approximately 2 metres.

What is stereo camera calibration?

Stereo-rig calibration aims at finding the intrinsic parameters (principle point, distortion parameters and focal length) of each camera and the extrinsic parameters (rotation and translation) defining the relative pose between cameras.

What is an advantage of stereovision cameras?

Stereo Camera Advantages The differences in a single camera approach over stereo are subtle but important. Stereo cameras see more data and therefore produce less occlusions. With a single camera, any occlusion caused by surface geometry that blocks projected light or the camera's view will result in no data.

What is the difference between stereo camera and mono camera?

If we have a single camera sensor mounted and capturing video that needs to be processed and analyzed, that system is called a monocular (single- eyed) system, whereas a system with two cameras, separated from each other is called a stereo vision system.
