+floating-point disparity image. If 16-bit signed format is used, the values are assumed to have no
+fractional bits.
 @param _3dImage Output 3-channel floating-point image of the same size as disparity . Each
 element of _3dImage(x,y) contains 3D coordinates of the point (x,y) computed from the disparity
 map.
