Abstract
This paper shows a performance comparison of two sensors capable of obtaining depth information using two different methods, i.e. stereo information and infrared based depth measurement. The sensors are a Bumblebee XB3 and a Microsoft Kinect, and they provide in-depth information with some advantages and disadvantages that will be presented and evaluated in this paper. The analysis compares the devices single characteristics and tests their performance.
