The stereo correspondence takes about 50mS on any reasonably modern PC or laptop. Most of the processing time is in fact occupied by the SLAM algorithm which produces 3D grids. You can find a description of the stereo algorithm and a link to the code here http://code.google.com/p/sentience/wiki/StereoCorrespondence A possible alternative to stereo cameras which may become available within the next couple of years is something like the Z-cam ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QfVWObYo-Vc ). It would be interesting to see this combined with Andrew Davison's monoSLAM. Anyway, by hook or by crook I think the kind of technology which you're looking for will arrive within the next few years, although for the present it remains just out of reach. Perhaps you should head for the nearest cryogenic chamber and re-emerge in five years time when the technology is ready for action. - Bob ----- This list is sponsored by AGIRI: http://www.agiri.org/email To unsubscribe or change your options, please go to: http://v2.listbox.com/member/?member_id=8660244&id_secret=90851447-6c72fa
