\f$x\f$ and \f$x'\f$ are the distance between points in image plane corresponding to the scene point 3D and
their camera center. \f$B\f$ is the distance between two cameras (which we know) and \f$f\f$ is the focal
-length of camera (already known). So in short, above equation says that the depth of a point in a
+length of camera (already known). So in short, the above equation says that the depth of a point in a
scene is inversely proportional to the difference in distance of corresponding image points and
their camera centers. So with this information, we can derive the depth of all pixels in an image.

is contaminated with high degree of noise. By adjusting the values of numDisparities and blockSize,
you can get a better result.
