                         BINOCULAR MACHINE VISION
                            Binocular machine vision is the analog of binocular human vision. It is
                            sometimes called stereoscopic vision.
                              In humans, binocular vision allows perception of depth.With one eye,
                            that is, with monocular vision, a human can infer depth to some extent on
