Parallax is apparent movement in the scene when you look at an object or a scene from two different perspectives. By triangulation, you can therefore measure the distance to any object in the scene. This is by far the primary way that humans and most other animals understand the world in three day. In our case, with two eyes of binocular vision, i became interested in this through a slightly different perspective, which is a photogrametry.
The asinine "camera vs lidar" debates are blown apart into several, far more interesting pieces in this week's episode, as the gang is joined by longtime friend of the show Tarani Duncan and Jason Devitt, co-founder and CEO of Compound Eye. Discussion covers the multiple approaches to camera-based depth perception, the evolutionary vs ground-up approaches to autonomous vehicles, and a little lidar shade as a treat.
