Claim Text:
1. A stereo camera for measuring distance to an object, the stereo camera comprising: an optical multiplexer to set a length of respective light paths of each of two images, having different spectrum properties and having parallax, to a same length, and to superimpose each of the light paths of the two images to one light path to generate a superimposed image; an image capturing element to detect luminance of the two images having different spectrum properties; an optical device to focus the superimposed image on the image capturing element; and a distance computing unit to compute distance to the object using the parallax between the two images, wherein the stereo camera further comprises a cross-talk removing unit to remove cross-talk between the two images having the parallax.
