Using StereoVision

StereoVision offers a number of command line utilities that you can use in order to produce 3d point clouds from stereo images. They are listed in the following table, roughly in the order that you would use them if you were to set up a project of your own from scratch. Usage information can be obtained on the command line by calling them with the -h and --help flags.

Script name	Purpose
show_webcams	Show output from stereo camera pair, optionally capture images
capture_chessboards	Capture images of chessboards simultaneously visible from both cameras in stereo pair for the purpose of calibrating the camera pair. Optionally calibrate camera pair online.
calibrate_cameras	Calibrate stereo pair using previously captured chessboard images
tune_blockmatcher	Manually tune block matching algorithm to produce good disparity maps with a given stereo pair
images_to_pointcloud	Convert image pairs captured with a calibrated stereo pair to a colored 3d point cloud

These scripts can also be used as examples for how to use the classes in StereoVision.
