What metadata is needed for OpenCV to create stereo depth map?

Hello,
The StereoPi is obviously great to obtaining stereo still images that could be used to create depth maps that tell me how far way objects are from the camera. That said, I would like to know what basic pieces of data are needed on a more general level when creating stereo images.
Let's say I use two identical cameras side-by-side to take simultaneous photos, what does OpenCV need to create a depth map from those stereo images? Do I simply need the distance between the two cameras or would more data be required? If so, that? Is there a list somewhere??
Thank you.
