Toward practical cooperative stereo for robotic colonies

In this paper we describe an approach towards cooperative stereo. The key problems, significant different views, different scale and occlusion, will be addressed in the context of a distributed robotic system. An algorithmic approach is described towards solving these problems and results on real scenes are presented.
