Stereo Vision


The basic idea of stereo vision is to find the information present in two images taken from different viewpoint and match the similarity between them to estimate the third dimension (i.e. the depth of a particular object in an image).

Among different types of stereo vision algorithms proposed, we ( me, Amol & Digdarshan) studied one of such algorithm and try to implement it in java. Here is the implementation:

Stereo : A package(built on java) that calculates the disparity from a pair of stereo images.

There was a paper presentation by the same group in "Stereo Vision: An Introductory Approach" at First National level paper presentation organized by NCIT. Paper [PDF], Slide[PPT]
