I want to have a pair of cameras for a stereo research project (disparity maps etc.) with OpenCV from live feed video.
I am thinking of some modern USB HD webcams, but I am not entirely sure because of codec or other issues with OpenCV.
I also want to have a larger baseline compared to stereo cams, so I need to have two separate cameras instead of a stereo camera.
The optimal case would be a simultaneous lag-free full HD video capture of both cameras in OpenCV with high FPS and a way to fix the cameras in place.
1) Which issues could present themselves with OpenCV? What should I pay attention to when I buy?
2) What kind of cameras do you recommend? Do you have a specific camera in mind?
