Abstract :
This paper presents a stereo based vision system which will be used to determine the stethoscope location on the human body in a cardiac auscultation tele-diagnostic system. The system is aimed at overcoming the problem of insufficient number of doctors comparing with the higher number of patients. The stereo vision system simulates human vision. The reconstruction of the point in three-dimensional space can be done by using the knowledge of camera calibration, image rectification, epipolar geometry, and disparity computation.
