They are offset along the x-axis by a baseline distance b. The location (X,Y,Z) of point P is computed by comparing the locations of the projections of P onto the two image planes, (x1,yl) and (xr,yr). Because of the geometry of the cameras, the left and right projections of P will appear at the same row and but at two different columns. The columnar distance in pixels is referred to as the disparity, d. Using simple camera geometry8, fb Z

The motor does notchange linearly to a linear change in percent modulation. The measurement data of the motorresponse is shown in Figure 4-a. This non-linearity is countered by using MATLAB® tocompare the actual motor values to a desired linear set of values ranging from minimum tomaximum motor current. The percent modulation, which corresponds to the desired current, isplaced in a look up table, which is represented in Figure 4-b. Finally, the motor values are bandlimited to 20% of maximum possible thrust. The thrust limitation is implemented because watertesting of the
