This is a very interesting article about how to implement stereo robot vision using a pair of cheap web cameras. Not only is the discussion clear and concise but at the end of the article you can find links to all the source code for the project.

Oh yeah! IMHO stereo vision
Oh yeah! IMHO stereo vision is the way ahead, the way we all will track objects in the future - as opposed to all sorts of scanners & rangefinders.
I wrote about this somewhere else in a discussion with JIP; I want to get into that stuff one day. It will end all rangefinders of today!
2 cameras a computer, and you have a full 3D space mapped out in front of the bot! Add IR vision to this, and you can not only detect people, but a lot of very interesting things; See the radiation from a hot oven as a 3d "object", and make sure not to get near etc..
