Disparity is related to depth by the following formula:
Disparity is related to depth by the following formula:
<math display="block">disparity = baseline * focal / depth</math>
<math display="block">disparity = baseline * focal / depth</math>
* <math display="inline">focal</math> is the focal length in pixels. This is a correction factor for the resolution of the disparity.  
* <math display="inline">focal</math> is the focal length in pixels. This is the distance to your image in pixels.  
*: This can be calculated as <code>(height/2) * cot(fov_h/2)</code>
*: This can be calculated as <code>(height/2) * cot(fov_h/2)</code>.
*: You can't imagine focal length as a depth since if the image is ''closer'' then the ''pixel sizes'' will be smaller and thus the distance to the image stays the same.
*: In the formula, this term acts as a correction factor for the resolution of the disparity.
* <math display="inline">baseline</math> is the distance between the camera positions. This should be in the same units as your depth.
