STORM Project  High-Speed Stereo Vision Investigator: Bill Ross

The STORM system was developed to provide 3-dimensional sensing for the Dante Volcano Explorer and Navlab robots. The purpose of this system was to provide high quality, medium-resolution range images at reasonable (for the time) rates. By carefully controlling the camera geometry and by using multi-baseline techniques developed by Dr Takeo Kanade, we produced a very effective, practical stereo system which has been of great use in a variety of robotic applications.  Follow the links below to learn more about the system:
