4. Conclusion
In this paper, we have presented a stereo vision system that relies on 2 logarithmic WDR 1280x720 sensors. This stereo vision system is able to provide high quality contrast indexed images of highly contrasted scene. This contrast indexed sensing capability can be conserved over more than 140dB without any explicit sensor control and without delay. The logarithmic photoresponse is also interesting if we consider the image robustness to illumination variabilities. This dynamic range and contrast conservation makes this stereo camera very effective for outdoor 3D stereo vision applications. Besides it also gives the unique possibility to combine passive 3D approaches with active illumination approaches without fear of losing information because of saturation.
