Resource Overview
Disparity maps serve as the foundation for numerous computer vision applications, functioning as limited 3D models that enable depth perception through stereo matching algorithms like block-matching or semi-global matching.
Detailed Documentation
In computer vision technology, disparity maps form the basis of many techniques. A disparity map essentially functions as a limited 3D model, allowing us to better understand depth information in a scene through computational methods such as stereo correspondence algorithms. This technology has widespread applications across various fields including robotic navigation, autonomous driving, and 3D reconstruction, where disparity calculation is fundamental. Additionally, it finds important applications in medical image processing, face recognition, and virtual reality systems, making it a critically important technology. The implementation typically involves using OpenCV functions like StereoBM or StereoSGBM to compute disparities from stereo image pairs, followed by depth map generation using the formula Depth = (focal_length * baseline) / disparity.
