FPGA is an chip that can be configured via a hardware programming language to make nearly any digital circuit. Hardware engineer can use them while Python developer can’t. But there is a distinct group of Xilinx FPGA based devices that can be used by software developers and data engineers, even with Python . This is possible thanks to PYNQ for Xilinx Zynq chips. In this article I'll showcase this platform and it capabilities.

Stereo vision isn't something new. It can be used to get 3D data out of imaged scene which can have various usage cases in robotics, science and alike. Basic stereo vision kit would consist of two webcams mounted in one line with some distance from each other. Rarely you could find pre-built webcams of such type.

In this review I'll look at a stereo-webcam KYT-U200-SNF01ND that integrates two sensors into one output image that functions as one camera.
