stereo camera
Twin-lens imaging system
A stereo camera captures two images simultaneously from slightly different angles, mimicking human binocular vision.
The paired images allow calculation of depth and distance, making stereo cameras essential for 3D photography, autonomous vehicles, and robotics: The robot's stereo camera helped it navigate around obstacles.
