Autonomous and Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) enable vehicles to rely on a variety of sensors, including thermal imaging, to create an accurate 3D perception of the environment. That 3D perception is created by combining the images of two cameras together as a stereo pair, known as stereoscopic vision. Those stereo pair cameras can be visible or thermal or otherwise, to capture depth perception through the ability to measure distances by triangulating the cameras with objects in the f...
