Hi!  Your question and Chris B's replies have resurrected a long-standing
question in my own mind: Whether it's possible to take a 3-D "photo" (made
from two different images, or views, of a scene) and *somehow* use the
information contained in the "difference" (?) between those images to
create a heightfield of the images' objects. True, the result would be
crude, but the technique could produce some intriguing results. It may
or may not be possible, but your posts have spurred me along to
give this some more thought.  Thanks!

Ken
