A stereo vision system includes a first camera sensor and a second camera sensor. The first camera sensor is configured to sense first reflected energy and generate first sensor signals based on the sensed first reflected energy. The second camera sensor is configured to sense second reflected energy and generate second sensor signals based on the sensed second reflected energy. The stereo vision system further includes a processor configured to receive the first sensor signals from the first camera sensor and configured to receive the second sensor signals from the second camera sensor. The processor is configured to perform stereo matching based on the first sensor signals and the second sensor signals. The first camera sensor is configured to sense reflected energy that is infrared radiation. The second camera sensor is configured to sense reflected energy that is infrared radiation. 立体视觉系统包括第相机传感器和第二相机传感器。第相机传感器被配置为感测第反射能量并且基于所感测到的第反射能量来产生第传感器信号。第二相机传感器被配置为感测第二反射能量并且基于所感测到的第二反射能量来产生第二传感器信号。该立体视觉系统还包括处理器，该
