  • Abstract
    To enable a mobile robot to navigate in an unknown environment, vision is used as a primary navigation tool. The paper focuses on studying depth estimation via stereo vision. Birchfield´s algorithm will be introduced for implementing the depth estimation. The experimental results with our miniature CCD colour cameras demonstrate that this algorithm is feasible and accurate for depth estimation.
