1. Introduction
Stereo vision systems find application in a wide variety of fields such as robotics applications (Nasa Curiosity
rover), automotive applications (collision avoidance, pedestrian detection and driving assistance) or security applications
for people counting or industrial safety applications. Today, in computer vision, the geometric problems, such as
correcting the projection distortions and calibrating a stereo pair are well known and can be dealt with through image
processing and calibration steps 1,2,3,4. When the stereo vision system is used to extract depth information, the sensor
dynamic range and reactivity become critical because in saturated areas the details are lost and consequently depth
extraction becomes impossible.
In this communication we present a stereo vision system that relies on two 1280x720 WDR (Wide Dynamic Range)
logarithmic image sensors. In section 2 the stereo vision system architecture will be described and in section 3 we
will give some indication of the stereo vision system performance
