Technical Field

Background
Unlike a binocular of human being, a depth camera based on the principle of TOF, structured light, which does not project a light source actively to the outside, calculates depth by entirely relying on two pictures taken (color RGB or gray-scale images), and is therefore sometimes referred to as a passive binocular depth camera.
Binocular stereoscopic vision simulates the three-dimensional perception of the human visual system to the environment, acquires the parallax of two images by performing stereoscopic matching on corrected left and right images, calculates the depth of a scene according to the triangulation principle, is a research hotspot in the field of computer vision in the last decades, and has made a series of progress.
