1.  (Stereo- 25 points ) Estimate the accuracy of  the simple stereo system (Figure 3 in the online lecture notes of stereo vision) assuming that the only source of noise is the localization of corresponding points in the two images. Discuss the dependence of the error in depth estimation as a function of disparity error, depth itself, the baseline width and the focal length, respectively.

Hint: Z = fB/d; Take the partial derivatives of Z with respect to d, B, f,  respectively.

2. (Motion- 25 points) Could you obtain 3D information of a scene by viewing the scene by a camera  rotating around its optical center? Show why or why not. What about moving the camera along its optical axis?

3. (25 points) Discussion the similarities (at least 2 ) and differences (at least 2) between stereo vision and visual motion .

4. (25 points) Give five examples where human vision systems use stereo and/or motion principles, and Google another five examples that machine vision systems use stereo and/or motion.
