Example Stereo Disparity 3D

3D point cloud generated from disparity image.	Stereo Update Video

An additional example for stereo disparity. This one shows you how to properly resize input images and convert the disparity image into a 3D point cloud.

Example Code:

/**
 * Expanding upon ExampleStereoDisparity, this example demonstrates how to rescale an image for stereo processing and
 * then compute its 3D point cloud. Images are often rescaled to improve speed and some times quality. Creating
 * 3D point clouds from disparity images is easy and well documented in the literature, but there are some nuances
 * to it.
