The Stereoscopic Analysis and Depth Map Creation

This contribution is focused on the use of the stereoscopic image for the purpose of depth map creation. Further, methods for calibration of the camera(s) are discussed. A stereoscopic head was constructed for the purpose of creating a stereoscopic image. Two Basler acA1600-20uc industrial cameras with Computar M2514-MP2 lenses were used for constructing this head. Furthermore, the algorithm for obtaining the depth map is described. The programming language C# and EmguCV library were used for the implementation of the algorithm. The algorithm consists of 4 parts. The calibration of the camera(s) and image acquisition is solved as first. Calibration of the camera(s) is solved by detection of intersections on the chessboard. Further, methods for the purpose of obtaining the depth map are described. Finally the implemented algorithm is tested.

Keywords: stereoscopic image, depth map, EmguCV, Basler
