As I'm advancing in my project I realized I need better hardware, particularly for video input and processing.
From an intuitive feeling sounds like stereo cameras offers a more powerful and flexible solution, on the other hand the Kinect looks like a great out-of-the-box solution for depth sensing and it also takes away a lot of computational complexity as it output directly the depth.
So I would like to know what are the upsides and downsides of the 2 solutions and if they have any well known limitation and/or field of application and why.
Thank you
What is the best solution for obtaining a depth map and video stream for an outdoor environment ? (with a reasonable limited budged)
... how would you phrase it ? $\endgroup$ – Cesar Jul 15 '15 at 10:41
