Abstract :: The depth extraction from visual information is one of underpinning research area of robotics and there is a growing trend in development of autonomous and intelligent systems for real-life applications. These unmanned systems need reliable depth estimations in order to move in three-dimensional space, autonomously. Inspiring from biological vision systems, stereo imaging systems promise a solution for the depth estimation from binocular image pairs provided by stereo cameras. One of the major problems in the depth estimation from the stereo image pair is low depth resolution. This paper discusses the depth resolution problem and presents a depth resolution analysis for stereo imaging systems
