Revision history [back]

Hello all, I'm approaching to the ComputerVision and to OpenCV in these months. What I'm doing is create a stereo camera in order to obtain informations about an object (a cilindere more or less, with 4 cm of diameter and 8 cm height ) which should be manipulated by a robot. So through the depth map I would like to obtain the 3D position of the object. But first to do this, I would like to obtain a decent real time depth map. What I did is following the example contained in to the examples folder of Emgucv(i'm doing it in C#). there are few questions that I would to propose you:

• How can I be sure that the calibration process was good or not
• For computing the depth map I use the Semi Global Block Matching approach (StereoSGBM method), should I make some pre and/or post filtering to improve the quality of my depth map.

Thanks in advance
