Stereo Camera
A stereo camera is a device that uses two or more lenses and image sensors to capture images from slightly different perspectives, mimicking human binocular vision. It enables depth perception and 3D reconstruction by analyzing the disparity between corresponding points in the stereo image pairs. This technology is widely used in computer vision, robotics, and augmented reality applications.
Developers should learn and use stereo cameras when building applications that require accurate depth estimation, 3D mapping, or object detection in real-world environments. Specific use cases include autonomous navigation for robots and drones, 3D scanning for modeling objects or environments, and enhancing user experiences in AR/VR by providing spatial awareness.
