Abstract:
Stereoscopic cameras include two wide-angle lenses, such as panoramic lenses, stacked one above the other to create 3D images and maps with very wide fields of view of the environment. The cameras may include panoramic annual lenses (PALs) that take a 360 degree view of the environment. Image processing is used, on a frame-by-frame basis, to map the apparent distance to all features within the scene. The camera may be operated to produce a video or map output in which each pixel has not only red (R), green (G), and blue (B) values, but also has depth (D) value.
