Abstract :
An approach to building a three-dimensional description of the environment of a robot using three cameras is presented. The main advantages of trinocular versus binocular stereo are simplicity, reliability, and accuracy. It is believed that these advantages make trinocular stereo vision of practical use for many robotics applications. The technique has been successfully applied to several indoor and industrial scenes. Experimental results are presented and discussed
