Assume two camera configurations on a basketball court:
1) Solo: One smartphone on a tripod.
2) Stereo: Two smartphones on tripods, placed at same height and depth, 6-12 inches apart.
The computer vision goals are: (1) track the basketball; (2) track a player; (3) detect made shots; (4) detect shot distance; and (5) detect shot angle.
Are any of these goals easier with a stereo camera (configuration #2), or are they as easily achievable with a solo camera (configuration #1)?

EDIT: This paper(http://www.ai.sri.com/~beymer/vsam/iccv99.pdf) suggests a stereo camera would offer advantages over a solo camera, but the paper is also very old (1999). Is player & shot tracking better with a stereo camera, or are solo cameras equally as effective?
