Mirage Stereo vision from a single camera
March 16th, 2007 by matt
There is an interesting discussion happening over at robots.net around the theory of using mirrors to create stereo vision from single cameras.
Nelson Bridwell writes, “One of the many excuses for not using stereo vision on mobile robots is the complexity and expense of arranging two synchronized cameras that can simultaneously capture image frames from different positions. However, in many cases it is possible to capture simultaneous images from two different positions, using only a single camera and a single element mirror arranged in a very simple geometry.” For more details on this idea plus diagrams and photos, see Real Time Stereo from a Single Camera
