Depth determination using complex logarithmic mapping

There is growing interest in using the complex logarithmic mapping for depth determination in motion stereo applications. This has lead to a need for a comprehensive error analysis. Rather than just giving an analytic description of the errors inherent in the approach an attempt will be made to characterize the errors that occur when using the mapping with real images. Techniques to reduce the impact of these errors will also be discussed. 1.
