Hi
As you may know my current project has everything to do with image recognition.
I was reading one tread in this newsgroup and suddenly it struck me that many of the problems I currently have in finding the contours of the objects can be overcome it I have stereo vision!
Then I figured that the only way to do that with just one camera was if I can place a set of mirrors in the front to the camera and split vertically the image in two, each set of mirrors giving an image a few centimeters apart.
Then all I have to do is to compare the left and the right parts of the images and find the differences between them.
Any thoughts about that?

This approach has several problems.
One is that the left image will show you smaller objects than the right, because the light travels a greater distance.
The second is that precision is very important and the mirrors must be fixed otherwise will make the image tremble a lot.
If you want to subtract two almost identical images to see the edges like I want to, one pixel of unalignment is too much.

Sorry the english
