On-Ship Trinocular Stereo Vision: An Experimental Study for Long-Range High-Accuracy Localization of Other Vessels by Kotaro Yoshihara, Shigehiro Yamamoto, Takeshi Hashimoto

“…Conventional stereo cameras are typically used to measure objects at distances of up to 200 times the baseline length. This study indicates that, using trinocular stereo vision, a target ship at distances up to 2500 m, which is 500 times the baseline length, can be measured with an accuracy of approximately 5% of the RMSE.…”
