A Method for Adapting Stereo Matching Algorithms to Real Environments by Adam L. Kaczmarek

“…Although the algorithms listed in the rankings based on these testbeds score exceptionally high, stereo matching technology still suffers from major drawbacks; as such, it is much less popular in commercial use than other technologies for 3D scanning, such as structured-light 3D scanners. One of the main problems is that the poor quality of the results is either blamed on an inappropriate stereo camera calibration or a bad stereo matching algorithm. …”
