For all students of OpenCV, we just released our code, ready-to-use Raspbian image, and a simple tutorial. Together, these will take you step-by-step from the first image capture to the final depth map created via real-time video capture.

The tutorial consists of six steps:

• Step 1: Capture image
• Step 2: Capture photos for calibration
• Step 3: Create set of left and right images
• Step 4: Calibration
• Step 5: Depth map parameters tuning
• Step 6: Depth map created via real-time video capture

Here’s an example of the results after the final step:

You can read a detailed description in our post on Medium, and look at our code on GitHub.
