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.

What is a monocular image?
June 2022) A monocular is a compact refracting telescope used to magnify images of distant objects, typically using an optical prism to ensure an erect image, instead of using relay lenses like most telescopic sights.
Why is stereo camera better than mono?
Stereo content provides a vastly better experience for the viewer because things look 3D like you could almost reach out and touch them. Your brain gets similar information to what it would expect so it is also more comfortable to view if correctly created.
What are stereo image cameras?
A stereo camera is a type of camera with two or more lenses with a separate image sensor or film frame for each lens. This allows the camera to simulate human binocular vision, and therefore gives it the ability to capture three-dimensional images, a process known as stereo photography.
What is stereo in image processing?
Stereo vision is the process of extracting 3D information from multiple 2D views of a scene. Stereo vision is used in applications such as advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and robot navigation where stereo vision is used to estimate the actual distance or range of objects of interest from the camera.
