From 4 to 6 October, the organiser of this year's Vision, Messe Stuttgart, is offering theme-specific tours. Visitors thus have the chance to learn about trends for their industry and gain insights into various machine vision solutions.
This article first describes the main parts of a stereo vision system and then provides instructions on making an own custom stereo camera using off-the-shelf hardware components and open-source software. As this setup is focused on being embedded, it will compute a depth map of any scene in real-time, without the need of a host computer.
