3.1.￿Detection￿range
Due￿to￿differences￿in￿perspective￿between￿the￿left￿and￿right￿optical￿path￿of￿the￿camera,￿the￿stereo
camera￿is￿able￿to￿measure￿the￿distance￿to￿an￿object￿and￿now￿also￿its￿height￿above￿road￿level.
While￿the￿monochrome￿camera￿merely￿estimates￿distances,￿the￿stereo￿camera￿can￿determine￿the
distance￿to￿an￿object￿fairly￿accurately￿–￿to￿within￿approximately￿20￿to￿30￿cm￿–￿from￿approximately
40￿m￿away.
