Seeing. Sensing. Adapting.

Applications for realtime stereo exist anywhere timely range data is needed.  Years of making our cameras and SVS available to the research community have resulted in a diversity of applications.  This page lists some of the publications that reference our cameras.

Stereo applications can be classified in mutiple ways. We offer the following broad, non-mutually exclusive, categories:

  • 3-D Environment Reconstruction
  • Autonomous Vehicles
  • Commercial Applications & Measurement
  • Competitions
  • Human Computer Interaction (HCI)
  • Navigation
  • People/Object Tracking & Counting
  • Vision Research
