Stochastic Analysis of Stereo Quantization Error

The probability density function of the range estimation error and the expected value of the range error magnitude are derived in terms of the various design parameters of a stereo imaging system. In addition, the relative range error is proposed as a better way of quantifying the range resolution of a stereo imaging system than the percent range error when the depths in the scene lie within a narrow range. >
