Stereo camera modules

Start with the geometry

Stereo integration requires attention to each camera's intrinsics and their relative pose. Calibration data should match the actual optics, resolution and mounting configuration so it can be used for image rectification and processing.

Information needed for selection

• Task and output：Whether the project needs two image streams, rectified images or depth output, and who supplies the processing.
• Range and field of view：Nearest and furthest working distances, target size, required overlap and edge-of-frame requirements.
• Mechanical layout and baseline：Available width, camera-spacing constraints, mounting method and possible movement in the assembled system.
• Exposure and synchronization：Subject motion, whether exposure settings must be linked, trigger source and timestamp requirements.
• Calibration and documentation：Who performs calibration, which parameters are delivered, how samples are identified and whether assembly requires rechecking.
• Host and data capacity：Interfaces, modes and formats for both streams, and the host's simultaneous capture requirements.

Records to keep during prototyping

Keep paired original images, capture settings, calibration file versions and photographs of the mounting arrangement. Test the intended distances, motion and lighting. State whether each check evaluates raw images, matching output or an application-level result.
