Distance-Estimation-and-Depth-Map-creation-using-OpenCV

In this day and age, when google cars and tesla’s autopilot features are becoming more mainstream, combined with the huge advances in machine learning and computer vision. It has become more important for us to understand and learn the fundamental and basic steps of computer vision. The purpose of this project is to identify a method of image processing that can then be used to develop a software tool. The tool itself will be used to work out the distance that certain objects are away from it using stereo vision. This tool will also allow the user to calibrate the cameras and take both pictures and videos. The hardware used in this project will be low-end but the steps and methods used should be easily transferable and usable with most equipment.
